Hello friends! Thanks for stopping by my blog today as I share a sweet little Christmas card that I created for Stamp Simply using a few of their wonderful products. It's always such a treat pulling out my stamps and other goodies from Stamp Simply because I always know that I'll find all the perfect things to help me create something special. This card was a lot of fun to make.
On the first cream layer, I used the Tim Holtz Holiday Knit Stencil on the background and rubbed it with pink ink. I used a touch of Vintage Photo Distress Ink on the edges, and the base is kraft cardstock. I ran a length of May Arts Cotton Stripe Ribbon across the middle of my card and tied a bow using 1/8" Silk Ribbon. In fact, Stamp Simply carries lots of great ribbons in addition to all their fabulous stamps, dies, stencils and more.
I used the Farmhouse Christmas Stamp Set for the darling bottle brush trees, regal deer image, and sweet (joy) sentiment. This has been one of my favorite Christmas sets from Stamp Simply for a very long time. I just LOVE all the wonderful images and sentiments in this sweet stamp set. It also contains a super cute to:/from: sentiment stamp that's great for making tags at Christmas and all year long (for gift tags, etc.). I also used the Scripty Background Minis 2 Stamp Set for the script (joy to the world) background. A few splatters of pink and brown paint here and there, and....that's about it.
You can find lots of wonderful inspiration every day on the Stamp Simply Blog and lots of great products at Stamp Simply. You'll also be able to stay up-to-date on new releases, learn about special sales and promotions and get inspired by stopping by the Stamp Simply Blog often. Thanks so much for stopping by today, and please visit again soon. It always makes me happy.
I'm sharing my card in the following challenges:
Stencil Fun Challenge - November: Anything Goes w/Optional Sparkle/Shine - I did not use the optional twist, but I did use a Tim Holtz Holiday Knit Stencil on my background.
TIME OUT Challenges: Challenge #277 - Inspired By Words "There truly is not an occasion that is not improved by wearing something festive". Well, I think my deer (buck) is improving this occasion by wearing his beautiful set of antlers; and wearing them proudly. I love this regal image.
Festive Friday Challenge - Challenge #FF0173 - The THREE items I took from the inspiration list include Gold (my silk bow), Trees, and a Christmas Sentiment (the word "joy" as well as the stamped Christmas background.
Christmas BINGO Challenges - CBC#10 Anything Goes following BINGO Board - My Bingo includes Buttons, Pink, Ribbon, Free and Paper Piecing Bingo up the very middle of the board. The three of these items I used are the Pink (various shades), the silk Ribbon bow, some Paper Piecing (layering) and the Free Square. From other rows I also have incorporated Stencil, Frame and Make Your Own Background.
Dar & Diane's Double D Challenge - November: Get Ready for Winter - I was inspired by the deer in the bottom right of this sweet inspiration photo.
What's inspiring you this week?
Blessings,
Karen
