Last night during my Weekly Thursday Live, I made three Last Minute Christmas cards for those that are running behind, like me, on their Christmas cards. All three are quick & easy, and they can be mass produced very easily!

I wanted this to be rustic looking, so I tore the edges of the Basic Beige main image layer and the sentiment piece. I inked up the torn edges of the main image piece with Pecan Pie ink using a Blending Brush.
I only used three ink pads to make the card. The shepherd/lambs image & the large star are stamped with Pecan Pie ink. The small dots that represent little stars were stamped with Basic Beige ink, and the sentiment was stamped with Early Espresso ink.
The Linen Thread was folded in half, tied into a bow, and then attached the back of the sentiment piece. Then it was all put on with Black Stampin' Dimensionals.
On the inside of the card, I stamped the Bethlehem stamp in Pecan Pie ink, and then I brushed some Pecan Pie ink over it with a Blending Brush to highlight it a bit. The sentiment was stamped with Early Espresso ink.
Dimensions (CS = Cardstock):
- Pecan Pie CS: 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" (card base)
- 2-3/4" x 1" (sentiment)
- Basic Beige CS: 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" (main image layer)
- 4" x 5-1/4" (inside layer)
- Linen Thread: 16"
