Farmhouse Christmas w/Stamp Simply

It's time for Christmas in July; and all week at Stamp Simply, each member of our talented Design Team will take a day to share a card/project using just ONE Winter/Christmas set from Stamp Simply to show you all just how SIMPLE it is to create beautiful cards and projects when you're stamping and creating with the fantastic stamps from Stamp Simply.  This card and tag set was created using just ONE set from Stamp Simply.

I used black cardstock for the base of my card.  I layered it with patterned papers found in the Carta Bella Winter Time 6x6 Paper Pad.  I also added a length of pretty White Crochet Lace across my card for texture.  That ONE stamp set I chose to showcase today is the AWESOME Farmhouse Christmas Stamp Set.  I absolutely LOVE this sweet stamp set because it is SO super versatile.  As you can see, it helped me create a quick and easy card plus two quick and easy Christmas gift tags.

The sweet papers and journalling cards found in the Carta Bella Winter Time 6x6 Paper Pad made it easy to create my card and my tags.  I love all the sweet images found in the Farmhouse Christmas Stamp Set including the country Christmas trees I stamped for this card.  The sentiment is also found in the same set - again showing you multiple ways to use this fantastic set.

Super easy tags to create using the to: from: sentiments again using the Farmhouse Christmas Stamp Set.  I simply punched a hole and added some Burlap String to the top of each tag.  You can't get any easier than that.  All of the Carta Bella Paper Pads have these fantastic journalling cards to help you create quick and easy gift tags.

Everything you see on my card and tags can be found at Stamp Simply.  The only exception is the Tim Holtz mini paper clip.  The whole point of today's post (and all week at Stamp Simply) is to demonstrate just how versatile each stamp set from Stamp Simply truly is, and how many different ways each set can be used SO creatively.  Be sure to visit the Stamp Simply Blog often for lots of great inspiration.  Thanks so much for visiting me today.

I'm sharing this Christmas/Winter card in the following:

Celebrate Joy w/Stamp Simply

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.

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.

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - Simon Says "Trees" - I stamped two bottle brush trees in pink

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.
