Let It Snow w/Stamp Simply

Stamp Simply definitely lives up to its name.  Their GORGEOUS stamps, dies and products make it SO SIMPLE to create beautiful cards.  So, whether you're a beginner at stamping or an advanced artist, you will always find the most amazing products to help you create lovely cards and projects.  The card I'm sharing today uses two of Stamp Simply's amazing sets.  I look forward to hearing what you think of this one.

I used black, deep pink and white cardstock to create my card.  I used one (Crate Paper) patterned paper.  I stamped the lovely Vintage Christmas Background onto white cardstock and cut the middle using the Vintage Ovals & Twigs Dies.  The sentiment (Let It Snow) is also found in the Vintage Christmas Background Stamp Set.  The berries and leaves are also found in the Vintage Ovals & Twigs Dies.

The pretty Christmas trees are found in the O Christmas Tree Stamp Set and were cut using the coordinating O Christmas Tree Dies.  I added a pretty Seam Binding bow to the side of my card.  The sentiment was stamped onto a tab cut using the Fishtail Banner Dies.  I used my Copics to color all the pretty accents on the Vintage Christmas Background as well as on the Christmas Trees. I'm LOVING the new Vintage Christmas Background SO much.  The "snow" is just a styrofoam ball that I crunched up into tiny pieces.

I sure hope that you're having a blessed week, everyone.  Thank you so much for stopping by to say hello today, and please know that it means the world to me.  You can find amazing inspiration every day on the Stamp Simply Blog.  Happy crafting.

Here's where I'm playing along and sharing my Christmas tree card:

Peace On Earth Challenge - Challenge #71 - Anything Goes Christmas

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - Simon Says "Stamp It" - I used several fabulous stamps from Stamp Simply.

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Simon Says "Stamp It"

The Paper Funday Challenge - Challenge #69 - Anything Goes w/Optional Twist: Create Your Own Background.  I used patterned paper and a fun frame stamp to create my background.  Lots of great layers of paper as well.

Merry Christmas From Stamp Simply

Are you ready for Christmas?  Well, ready or not; it's less than a month away.  While most of  my Christmas cards are already in the mail, it's always good to create a few extras for "just in case".  You know...when someone sends you a card or gives you a gift that you weren't quite expecting.  It's good to be prepared.  If you don't end up using the extra cards, you'll have a head start on next year.  With Stamp Simply Clear Stamps, you have so many beautiful options for the perfect sentiments, images and more.

The O Christmas Tree Stamp Set is one of my favorite Christmas sets.  It's got three different Christmas trees and several gorgeous sentiments that can be used all year long.  This is just one of the darling trees in this sweet set.  I stamped, colored, and then cut it twice using the coordinating O Christmas Tree Dies.  I used two different patterned papers from the Craft Consortium's Beautiful Blooms 6x6 Paper Pad.  Non-traditional Christmas colors are fun.

Some machine stitching and some Solid Black Baker's Twine were the finishing touches.  The background was created using a piece of basic white cardstock rubbed with various colors of Tim Holtz Oxide Inks.  I love all the different layers of paper, and keeping the pretty Christmas trees the focal point of my card was easy to achieve in doing so.

There's so much amazing inspiration on the Stamp Simply Blog and lots of great shopping at Stamp Simply.  You're always sure to find the perfect scriptures, sentiments, images in their high-quality stamps and dies.  Thanks so much for stopping by today and please visit us again soon.

I'm entering the following:

Double D Challenge Blog - Dots and/or Stripes - I guess this card combines both elements. I have dots in the trees as ornaments and stripes in the trees as the garland on my fun garland.

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Make it Sparke - so I added Stickles to the stars.

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - Trees

Blessings,

O Christmas Tree w/Stamp Simply

It's time for me to share another sweet card with you using products from Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.  At Stamp Simply, they literally live up to their name by making it simple to create lovely cards using their stamps and dies.  This is what I came up with to share today.  My card incorporates one of the newest die sets called Country Church Dies (the trees, clouds and slanted slit) with an older set.

The older stamp set from Stamp Simply that I used on this card is the O Christmas Tree Stamp Set.  This is a gorgeous stamp set and has amazing Oh Christmas Tree Dies to go along with it.  I stamped the sentiment from the O Christmas Tree Stamp Set onto white cardstock that was rubbed with Spun Sugar Oxide Ink.  I used the Fishtail Banner Dies to cut the sentiment banner and I placed it on my card with 3-D Foam Tabs.

The top of the card was rubbed with Speckled Egg Oxide Ink.  The bottom portion of my card is covered in a pink polka dot patterned paper from the Craft Consortium's Bright Blooms 6x6 Paper Pad.  Along the curved edge that was cut with the Country Church Dies, I added a piece of .5" Venice Katrina Ivory Lace and topped it with an Ivory Seam Binding Bow.

There's always loads of great inspiration on the Stamp Simply Blog and there are bargains, beautiful stamps, dies, and so many wonderful products at Stamp Simply.  Thanks so much for stopping by today.  It always means the world to me.

Blessings,

Karen
