Peek-a -boo Moose!

Here's another of my 15 minute holiday cards

from

DCWV!

The stack I used for this little card was

"The Winter Holiday"

 

The objective was to make a cute, easy card in less time than it takes to hard-boil an egg (Yes, I still make homemade egg salad on a regular basis!)

 

First, I determined I wanted a card that fit in a 6 x 6 envelope! I'm tired of trying to customize each and every envelope (not to mention the postage!)

 

So, this card base is 5 1/2 x 5 1/2,

which was easily cut from 8 1/2 x 11 heavy cardstock.

 

I then scored 1/2 inch from all four sides of the front to give a bit of texture to the white-on-white.

Next, deciding that my image needed at 2 1/2 inch square opening, I measured center and cut out my "window".

With the  moose paper, I chose to extend the image across the inside of the card. It just seemed more finished than putting a square in the middle of the card.

 

 

And I can always add an appropriate sentiment, depending on the recipient.

 

 

Simple, that's the ticket!
