Christmas is approaching faster than I can believe. It just sora crept on me this year; and before I knew it, Christmas was upon us. While I'm not prepared yet in the way of gifts, decorating and planning, I do have a nice head start on my Christmas cards that need to get in the mail this week. Stamp Simply always helps me find the perfect stamps and products to create beautiful cards at Christmas and all year round. The card I'm sharing today uses just two of their (many) fabulous stamp sets.
I started with black cardstock that I layered with a green patterned paper from the Craft Consortium's Retro Summer 6x6 Paper Pad that I machine stitched together. I used a larger cluster sentiment with the names of Jesus found in the Jesus Stamp Set at the top of my card. I used the O Christmas Tree Stamp Set and the coordinating O Christmas Tree Dies to create my trees in various colors (using Tim Holtz Oxide Inks). I added some tiny foam balls to each tree as ornaments. The Merry Christmas sentiment at the bottom of the card is also found in the Jesus Stamp Set.
There are so many fabulous stamps, dies, stencils, embossing folders, ribbons and products at Stamp Simply to help you create something special. We hope you'll take a look around at Stamp Simply and treat yourself. After all, Christmas is approaching and we all deserve a new treat (or two), right? You'll also find lots of great inspiration each day on the Stamp Simply Blog. Oh, I also wrapped some pretty Baker's Twine around my card and topped the bow with a sugar-coated bead from the Petaloo Teal Botanical Floral Ephemera package.
Thanks so much for visiting me here today. I'm also sharing my card on Instagram if you'd like to stop by and Follow me there @karenletchworth. I'd sure appreciate it. Have a blessed and creative week, and please know that I truly appreciate you for stopping by to take a peek at my art. Stay safe, friends, and I hope you've got all your Christmas chores in line at this point better than I do. LOL
Blessings,
Karen
