K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Sweetheart)


RubberMoon Stamp Christmas/ Holiday Cards
Hello Amazing Artsy Friends! 
Teresa here! :-D
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Today I would like to show you a very simple way to construct
four unique greeting cards. 
So many of us keep in touch via the computer.
But, sometimes it just feels good to send a special
someone a handmade-straight-from-the-heart note-
"old school" style.


Supplies
You will need the following:
*Art Squares from Inchie Arts, LLC
*blank note cards
*PPA glue or any type of craft glue
*Sharpie markers
*RubberMoon Art Stamps/Mid-Century Modern Designs Collection
found in the 2013 RubberMoon Catalog (hard copy)
*Black Ink Stamp Pad

The K.I.S.S. method of 
Christmas/Holiday card making


Above is a photo of the finished product. The instructions are tres simple.

1.stamp on your Inchie Art Squares (This part is important. 
Using the Inchie Squares allows you to use 
the Sharpie pens and their vibrant colored ink.
 If you use these pens directly on the card, 
the colors will bleed through to the other side-very unattractive).
Love Inchie Art Squares!

2. Color your designs (have fun)

3.Glue your decorated Inchie Art Squares to your note cards.

Voila! 
Darling, mod Christmas/Holiday cards for that special someone!
These are so simple they are guaranteed fun! And this is just the beginning!
You could add gems, glitter, whatever you want.
 Just remember keep your gluing and
coloring on the Inchie Art Square.
 Inchie Art Squares= no rippling and no ink bleeding-yay!!
