I'm over the moon about the next in the New Release from Stamp Simply. Every set that's been released is even more amazing and beautiful than the last. They're all GORGEOUS. This new Vintage Christmas Background Stamp is no exception. Just look at this lovely vintage feel Christmas card. It's so warm and cozy, right? It's a throw-back to Christmases past. Be sure to visit Stamp Simply to check out this set and ALL the fabulous new sets.
I layered kraft, cream, green and kraft cardstocks. On the kraft cardstock, I stamped the new Vintage Christmas Background Stamp in green and brown inks. I cut the center focal piece (oval) using the new Vintage Ovals & Twigs Dies. I colored the image a bit with my Copics. I used the Vintage Ovals & Twigs Dies again to cut all the foliage/berries, and I colored them with my Copics as well.
I added some bundled Green Burlap String and a Red (Christmas Bundle) Seam Binding bow topped with more of the foliage/berries cut using the Vintage Ovals & Twigs Dies. This was a very simple card to make, but it's lovely with all the red and green touches and those pretty berries complimenting that gorgeous vintage frame.
Be sure to visit the Stamp Simply Blog for lots of great inspiration and updates about special sales and promotions. We always enjoy your visits. Please stop by again soon and have a great week, everyone.
