Candy Cane Peace on Earth Card is an Easy Layout

If you need an easy layout for lots of handmade holiday card making, give this layout a try. This card is a SIP card, using Stamps, Ink and Paper and perfect for a beginner cardmaker. The dimensions are easy to cut and assembling is a breeze.

You can use whatever Designer Series Paper (DSP) you have in your stash, as I used retired Sweetest Christmas DSP. The greeting came from the Christmas Labels stamp set.

I can imagine this layout also used as an all-occasion card layout. All you really need is a large image for the front. It doesn’t matter if the image is printed and fussy cut or stamped then fussy cut. Either way it will be beautiful I’m sure your recipient(s) will love it.

This landscape “tent” card should mail well. I recommend using an index card inside your envelope to flatten the bow if you use one, or to protect any embellishments you may decide to add.
