Christmas begins with Christ

 

Hi and welcome to another card in my quick and easy Christmas card series. Today's card turned out so pretty. Don't you love it when you create something and it surprises you and you end up liking it. I started with this greeting from the for unto us stamp set embossed in gold and cut it out using the stitched shape dies cut it out. I knew I wanted to use the forever gold laser cut dsp but I struggled with what to put behind it.

I always love dark colors behind and the neutral dsp had just the right color! A little piece of whisper white polka dot ribbon was just right because it didn't add a lot of thickness. Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you share what you are making for your Christmas cards!

If you are struggling for ideas or would just like to create with everything done for you order the paper pumpkin today. You have until Nov. 10th to get this kit.

Never give up!

 

Hello stamping friends! So glad you here! Today's card was a little of a mess but I do like the way that it turned out in the end. I learned to not give up! I started with the winter woods stamp set embossed in white on watercolor paper. Using my water painters I added color with my reinkers. The colors were not exactly what I had in mind but I kept letting it dry between and adding more layers of color. At one point I almost was going to throw it away, but I kept trying. Finally, it looked pretty good to me.

I added some white ink splatter and also drops of water that I paper towel dried off to add some texture. In the end I think it is really a fun card. The background paper is from the snowflake spendor dsp and the greeting is from the for unto us stamp set which I white heat embossed. Thanks for stopping by. I really learned so much from this card, not to give up and how forgiving watercolor is. Have a blessed day!

Quick Ornament Card

 

Hi and welcome back to my series of quick and easy Christmas cards, that will be easy to duplicate to mail to family and friends. I started with brightly gleaming dsp, this ornament pattern is one of my favorite. I used the rectangle stitched dies for the sentiment, background layer and the ornament paper layer. 

To make the sentiment pop a little more I used a piece of mossy meadow card stock cut with the stitched so sweetly dies. The sentiment is from the for unto us stamp set which I gold heat embossed. I love the rich colors of this card. So quick and easy. Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you come back soon.  Let me know what you think of this card in the comments below. Have a blessed day!

Adore Him!

 Hello and welcome to the quick and easy Christmas card series. Heat embossing is always a quick and easy technique!  This tree from the winter woods stamp set looks gorgeous heat embossed in gold.

The sentiment is from my favorite for unto us stamp set. I also gold heat embossed it and used the rectangle stitched dies to cut it out. The background layer is from the in good taste dsp. Such a fun textured looking paper.

The star was on my desk from another project that I did not use. It is from the peaceful nativity bundle. This die set has some great images and I love this star! Thank you for stopping by to see another one of my quick and easy Christmas cards. I hope this gives you some great inspiration to create today! Have a blessed day!
