Welcome by again, friends. Thanks for stopping by today as I share a pretty Christmas card that I created for Stamp Simply Clear Stamps using a few of their amazing products. I just LOVE all their beautiful stamps, dies, papers and more. This card showcases a few of my favorites in some less traditional Christmas colors; which seems to be a recurring theme for me this year. For this card, I couldn't resist using some shades of blue.
I started by stamping the beautiful poinsettia found in the Floral Cluster Winter Poinsettia Stamp Set, coloring it with my Copics, and cutting it with the coordinating Floral Cluster & Springs Dies. How pretty is this image? All the stamped images from Stamp Simply Clear Stamps are truly gorgeous. To give my card a cool background, I used a piece of patterned paper from the Tartan Plaid 6x6 Paper Pad.
I also used the wreath found in the Fall/Winter Seasonal Wreath Stamp Set to stamp the base (wreath) for my Floral Cluster using brown inks. I used the coordinating Fall/Winter Seasonal Wreath Die Set to cut the background wreath. The sentiment I used on my card is found in the Christmas Joy Stamp Set. I also added a very small, inked banner using the Fishtail Banner Dies. ALL the stamps from Stamp Simply Clear Stamps work well on their own or when combined with others. You honestly cannot go wrong with any of Stamp Simply's AMAZING stamps and dies.
Thanks so much for stopping by today. You can always find loads of great inspiration on the Stamp Simply Blog and lots of great shopping at Stamp Simply. I appreciate you stopping by my blog today, and I hope that you'll visit again soon. Have a wonderfully blessed and creative week.
