Yep, that’s it. A single triangle floating on the background. I can’t tell you how many commercially printed Christmas cards I’ve seen that are nothing more than this. I’ve done my sample with some poinsettia paper, and a matching green background.

Here’s the reverse: printed background, and a solid triangle. Perhaps the solid tree could be shadow stamped with a message, so it’s still very clean and simple.

Using Layout Templates:

The black and white line images on this page are sized for cards made from a half-sheet of 8-1/2 x 11 cardstock, and square cards made from a half-sheet of 12 x 12 cardstock. You can save these templates to your computer and print them out as guides. You can also simply use them as inspiration, and cut your pieces to your desired sizes without the templates.
