Stamping Inspiration

CHRISTMAS BRANCH OUT CLEAN & SIMPLE CARD...

Today I was determined to make several cards with my Branch Out stamp set before it retires on January 4.  :(  I am soooo sad about it leaving.  I just LOVE this set!  Don't forget that I am offering 10% off of all retiring stamp sets!  Check them out HERE. 

Unfortunately, my mom needed lots of help today with learning how iTunes works and uploading audiobooks, etc.  Since she lives in another state, I spent 4 hours of my day on the phone with her figuring it all out. 

So I only got to make one card.  And I wanted to make a very clean and simple card first.  This is very difficult for me to make CAS cards.  I'm not even sure this one is simple enough to qualify!   I wanted so badly to add a Real Red mat between the card base and card front and some ribbon, embellishment, etc.  But I managed to restrain myself somewhat!  Have you ever seen such a short supplies list from me???  I hope you enjoy the results!
