CAS(E) this Sketch: Christmas Greetings

I had this sinking realization this morning that if I made a Christmas card on every day that I didn't have another card due - I still wouldn't get them all done.  I've never been in quite this bad a shape before. Luckily I have plenty of unused supplies calling my name so I'm taking on the challenge!!

The first one came about easily. I had been eyeing the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch and now with an hour until it closes, I decided to use it.

It also came about easily because I just received an order including a Washi Paper Tape Sheet. First, I haven't generally used washi tape. Second, I had no idea what a tape sheet was. But I knew I liked the patterns and the 6x6 paper pad had been out of stock forever, so I thought I'd try the sheets. They weren't quite what I expected - really short - but look how well they work with this sketch!!


I'm being a little braggy here, but I really like this card. (If I end up duplicating cards just to get done in time for Christmas - this is the card!) My style has changed over the years. I went from really busy cards, to really clean and simple, and now I seem to have settled somewhere in the middle - a Clean & Layered style.  Clean & Layered doesn't necessarily mean easy to do; it's just a fresh and clean look at the end.  I think I've forgotten how really refreshing it is to do "simple". I do like this card and it was a five minute card. The strips were in one packet so I didn't worry about coordinating, then one die cut, one stamp - ta da!  Big thanks to CAS(E) this Sketch for the inspiration!
