In my virtual class this month in addition to making great holiday projects using the stamp set Holly Jolly greetings, we focused on where ideas come from, putting your own spin on an idea that inspires you and how little changes can transform a project.
The cards below all use the same basic layout I just altered the vellum (all from the great Holidays Fancy Foil collection) and the shimmer and shine! Having a couple of great basic card layouts in your pocket can allow you to quickly create a card with the need arises.
