Christmas Cards II

Here`s my second installment of Christmas cards.  This time I was also able to use scraps!  The reindeer stamp comes from a Hero Arts clear stamp set.  The sentiment and heart stamp are from (I believe) a Stampendous stamp set.


Materials Used: 
  • Recollections 65 lb cardstock
  • Various scraps of Christmas paper
  • Hero Arts clear stamps
  • Versafine black ink with clear embossing powder
  • Spectrum Noir alcohol markers
  • Diamond stickles
  • Spellbinders label 8 dies
  • Distress ink in Vintage Photo for inking edges
  • D`Vine swirls Cuttlebug embossing folder
  • Brown satin ribbon
  • ATG adhesive and 1/8" foam adhesive

Christmas Cards

There's 3 weeks until Christmas and my cards are not done!!!


These cards were super easy to make and better yet, used up a bunch of those Christmas paper scraps.
The main image is a sentiment and small bird stamps from Hero Arts, colored with Spectrum Noir markers and jazzed up with some diamond stickles.





Materials Used:

  • Recollections 65 lb cardstock
  • Crate Paper Snow Day paper and various other scraps
  • Hero Arts clear stamps
  • Versafine black ink with clear embossing powder

Using the same bird image on a couple of different layouts - again, a great way to use up scraps!
