Krafty Christmas

I have a simple Christmas card to share today...featuring some new goodies from Simon Says Stamp. I picked up a couple of their large background stamps 'Mod Trees' and 'Outline Snowflakes', and a set of calligraphy style sentiments by Ranger... the 'Letter It Christmas' set. I played around with the background stamps, stamping them a few different ways, with different inks on plain card, watercolour paper, patterned papers...and heat embossed...like the snippets I used on this card. I stamped on to kraft card using a white pigment ink pad, then heat embossed them using white embossing powder. I used small pieces of each of the two background stamps, along with one of the sentiments, fitting them on to a square of white card, and then adding that to a kraft card blank. I have lots of left over pieces...and all of the other stamped pieces...so no doubt you'll be seeing these stamps again soon!

    I love your card and how you have stamped inside the boxes very effective and the white against the Kraft is just stunning.

    love how you have done this card, it truly looks wonderful. Also love how you have that button on the side stating how many Christmas cards you have done. Wonderful idea and a great way to keep yourself moving on this. I hope you dont mind but I would like to start with the same idea to get more done this year with Christmas cards. Very visual- love it.
