Welcome by today, sweet crafty friends! I'm so glad you're here as I share this fun card I created for Creative Worship Stamps using some of the NEW Release items from the awesome September NEW Release along with some of my older favorites. Creative Worship will always provide the most amazing stamps, dies, stencils, oxide inks, and other useful (and desirable) products. How fun is this card?
I used brown, red and kraft cardstocks to layer my card base. I had this piece of grungy ledger patterned paper in my stash for years and I'd never used it. I decided to use it on this card. The first thing I did was to stencil the background with Frayed Burlap Oxide Ink and Red Brick Oxide Ink using the NEW Circle Pattern Stencil. The next NEW set I used is the Vintage Postcards Stamp Set, and I also used the awesome Going Postal Stamp Set to complete the background.
The patterned paper was cut using the Stitched Rectangle Dies, and the smaller rectangle is also cut using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. On that smaller cut rectangle is where I did a touch more stencilling and then stamped the sentiment, coffee cups and candy canes. All those images (and sentiments) can be found in the Holiday Cheer Stamp Set. I used pieces of that grungy ledger patterned paper to stamp everything. I hand cut the images and colored them using my Copics.
The sentiment and images are raised up using 3-D White Foam Tabs. You can find so much fabulous inspiration every day on the Creative Worship Stamps Instagram Page. I'd sure LOVE to have you "Follow" me on my Instagram Page. Thanks so much for stopping by today and have a wonderfully creative week. I appreciate your visits here.
I'm playing along and sharing this card in the following:
Die Cut Divas Challenge - September: Anything Goes - For this fun Christmas card, I used Stitched Rectangle Dies from Creative Worship for the outer scalloped piece as well as for the sentiment piece.
Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge - Challenge #45 - Anything Goes w/Christmas & Coffee/Cocoa
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Layer It Up - I used LOTS of paper layers.
The Paper Funday Challenges: September Challenge #80 - Anything Goes/Optional Changing Seasons - As always, I have lots of great paper layers.
Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - Inspired By Music - This card was inspired by the song "Holiday Wishes" by Indina Menzel. My sentiment, from Creative Worship, had a stamp with the same words. How FUN!
Blessings,
Karen
Hi Karen! I love all the layering in your mixed media Christmas card. I gave it so much interest and depth. (BTW, my 2nd grandson arrived, but I still have a long way to go to catch up with you.) Blessings!
