Christmas Joy w/Stamp Simply

Are you ready for another pretty Christmas card using Stamp Simply stamps and dies?  Well if so, you're in the right place.  T here's so much fabulous inspiration on the Stamp Simply Blog so be sure to stop by there often.  The card I'm sharing today is very simple and easy to make.  That's one of the great things about Stamp Simply.  They truly make it SO easy to create lovely cards.

This card started with basic black cardstock layered with a blueish cardstock layered with a piece of white cardstock that I cut using the Country Church Dies.  I used the larger square in the Country Church Dies to cut the black square.  I stamped the ornaments from the Christmas Joy Stamp Set (the large one twice and the smaller one once) and I colored them with my Copics.  I cut the ornaments with the Christmas Joy Ornament Dies and raised two of the ornaments with 3-D Foam Tabs.

The sentiment I used is also from the Christmas Joy Stamp Set.  I rubbed a bit of Spun Sugar Oxide Ink to the background of the ornaments.  At the bottom of this card, I added a piece of the 1.5" Black Lace to fill in that empty space and add some much-needed texture to my card.  This is an overall simple design that gives you a soft beautiful effect.  All the stamps from Stamp Simply will help you create beautiful cards.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today, friends.  It's always a treat to have you visit and leave me some love.  Have a blessed and creative week, everyone.  Be sure to visit Stamp Simply for lots of great products.

I'm playing along in the following:

Peace On Earth Challenge - Challenge #52 - I did use any trees on my card, but I was inspired by the use of blue (non-traditional) colors.

Dragonfly Dream Challenge - November: Inspiration Photo - Again, I was drawn to the non-traditional use of blue and blue tones on my Christmas card.

Keep on crafting, everyone.

Blessings,

Karen
