I saw a sign on Facebook the other day stating that there are only a few more Mondays until Christmas. It blew my mind wrapping my head around how incredibly close it's getting. While I don't hand make all our Christmas cards, I do send out some. Knowing that Whimsy Stamps has everything I need to help me create fun cards is always a blessing.
Whimsy Stamps carries so many helpful products for creating Slimline cards, which have become more and more popular over the past two years or so. This card started with basic kraft cardstock that I cut to match the size of the slimline. The second layer is a Crate Paper patterned paper from my stash. The top is, again, the basic kraft cardstock that I stamped with snowflakes and sentiments using the Gingerbread Greetings Stamp Set. The texture came from the Sweater Slimline Embossing Folder, and I rubbed some of the white chalk ink on the texturized paper.
How cute! Each little cottage in the Gingerbread Greetings Stamp Set was stamped onto the kraft cardstock in white ink, and each was embossed with white embossing powder. The cute little candies surrounding my card are the Clay Confetti Mix Peppermint Pieces. The sweet little hearts were also stamped in white onto red cardstock for a pop of color.
There are so many fabulous stamp sets, die cuts, embossing folders, stencils, confetti mixes and products available at Whimsy Stamps to help you create something fun and meaningful this Christmas and all year long. Thanks for visiting me here today, and have a wonderfully delicious holiday season, everyone.
I'm sharing my gingerbread house card in the following challenges:
Peace On Earth Challenge - Challenge #76 - Christmas - I was inspired by the red and brown on the birdhouse and did cottages instead of bird houses.
Can You Handle the Pressure Challenge - Anything Goes Using an Embossing Folder - I used a Sweater Slimline Embossing Folder on this card. I didn't use the drink/food option.
Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - Simon Says "Emboss It" so I used a beautiful Slimline Sweater Embossing Folder from Whimsy Stamps on this card.
Craft Rocket Challenges - Challenge #120 Christmas/Winter
Blessings,
Karen
I like that stamp a lot. It looks great in neutral colours.
