Karen Letchworth joins us again today with a truly fun card for Christmas. This is one that just makes you smile with its rainbow of colors pulled together from scrap pieces of cardstock cut into uniform sized strips to create the backdrop on the underside, which becomes the focal point tree. After piecing together her striped backdrop, Karen simply cut a Christmas tree from cardstock, and using the negative piece placed it atop the stripes, stamped a simple sentiment and DONE! So simple and so much fun!

Just how simple and fun can it get!

And to make this card go even more quickly, I can envision using just a single sheet of designer paper beneath the surface rather than creating the striped pattern.

Just imagine how fun this would also be using lovely holiday prints!

Here are a few paper suggestions:
