Are you still in need of Christmas card ideas? Here is a card using a stamp set you may already have in your stash – Season of Friendship. It is an all season stamp set and might not come to mind when you are thinking about making Christmas cards. But look at how beautiful this card turned out to be.
The idea for this card came from a non-Stampin’ Up! blog. But the idea translated perfectly to this Stampin’ Up! stamp set.
I started with a Cherry Cobbler card base, then a layer of Whisper White, then a layer of Crumb Cake. On the Crumb Cake card stock I stamped the tree from Season of Friendship using Early Espresso ink. Then the snowflakes using Whisper White Craft ink. The bird is stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink. I punched a heart using the small heart punch and then used the white gel pen to draw a string.
This sentiment comes from Heard from the Heart stamp set – it was stamped in Early Espresso ink on Whisper White card stock. Underneath is a strip of Cherry Cobbler that was punched with the scallop border punch.
We made this one at the Stamper’s Club meeting last week. Roxanne wanted an idea for this stamp set and this was it.
This year I’m mostly sending out Christmas Cards that I made using My Digital Studio – but I have some like this one that are hand stamped to send out too.
Kyle came home from college on Friday – I picked him up after my Treats & Tags class was over. Everyone is home for Christmas now! My decorating is done. My cards are mostly done – just adding the addresses, stamps and sealing the envelopes. Oh by the way – if you hate licking the envelopes – doesn’t everyone? – use your AquaPainter to moisten the strips! I even have presents wrapped and under the tree. I have a few more Christmas projects to share with you this week.
I love this card, Monika! I will definitely file this to use next December. Have a wonderful christmas!
