Still working on Christmas cards and following Kristina Werner and her Holiday Card Series.\u00a0 Her card from day 14 <\/a>is a great, simple design.\u00a0 So simple, in fact, that I got carried away cutting out squares and\u00a0ended up making \u00a0five of them in no time.<\/p>\n

I just picked up bits of patterned paper from my scrap pile and started cutting squares.\u00a0 Here are the dimensions you’ll need:<\/p>\n

I lightly penciled in a line 1\/4″ in from all four edges to help place the squares evenly.<\/p>\n

Supplies:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stamps:<\/strong> Snowflake wood border stamp, Studio G; Merry Christmas clear stamp, Studio G
\nInk:<\/strong> Aged Mahogany Tim Holtz Distress Ink <\/a>, Weathered Wood Tim Holtz Distress Ink<\/a>
