The fun continues over at BYSHC Christmas in July Linky Party. I'm sharing another fun Christmas card today that showcases some of the fabulous NEW Release from a sponsor of this special event, Creative Worship Stamps. This is a great time to get a head start on your Christmas cards and come join the fun for a chance to win some really great prizes. I'm sure crossing my fingers and saying a prayer or two.
I just kraft cardstocks layered with some really old patterned papers from my stash. One is Echo Park and the other (red words) is from October Afternoon. I machine stitched them together. I also cut several rows of borders using the Scallop Border Dies and a piece of lace. I cut three wreaths using the NEW Lovely Wreaths Dies. I used the NEW Thoughtful Wreaths Stamp Set to stamp the lovely sentiment. I cut the sentiment using the Thoughtful Wreaths Dies. I raised up the sentiment just a bit using 3-D White Foam Tabs.
I added some Solid Ivory Baker's Twine and some red berries to my wreath. I stamped two little sets of holly leaves in brown ink using the Thoughtful Wreaths Stamp Set. I cut them using the Thoughtful Wreaths Dies, and I tucked them in to the little bow. This new Thoughtful Wreaths Stamp Set has so many awesome sentiments and images. This amazing and versatile set can be used all year round, including Christmas and for every other occasion. It's absolutely an awesome new set.
Underneath the sentiment as well as at the bottom left of my card and upper right, I added an accent cut from light kraft cardstock using the fun Tabs Tickets & More Dies. This is another really FUN die-cut set for adding tabs and accents to your cards and projects. Creative Stamps products make it SO EASY to create adorable cards. Come by Creative Worship Stamps to look around at all that awaits you.
