Okay, don't hate me because I did this, but I started my Christmas cards last weekend! I personalized the snowflake from Merry Little Christmas from JustRite Stampers. I had to use the snowflake on this year's cards because we are both snowmobiling now. Since I had all the letters in place on the 2" wooden stamper, I stamped out enough for this year's cards.
I cut out the 2" circle with the circle nestabilities, added a layer slightly bigger and mounted both onto a scalloped circle. Then I used the Impressabilities Snowflake to make the embossed background onto Soft Sky cardstock. I sponged it using Blue Bayou ink. Then I felt that it needed something else but I wanted to be sure that I would have enough supplies to replicate this on the rest of the cards. So I dug through my supplies and I found these SU Snowflake die cuts that my stamping friend Mary sent to me a while ago. Perfect! Then I added a small pearl to the center of the snowflake and viola, it's done!
Supplies:
Stamps: JustRite Stampers - Merry Little Christmas, JustRite Stampers - 2" Wooden Stamper with 15 Point Font
Paper: PTI White, GP White, Soft Sky, Blue Bayou
Ink: Blue Bayou
Accessories: Sponge, Cuttlebug, Impressabilities - Snowflake, Circle Nestabilities (Classic & Scallop), Adhesive Pearl
This is so cute and creative! I love snowflake behind the image!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I'm sure it'll look even better when I get mine through the mail and see it in person ;-)
ReplyDeleteI think it's terrific that you got started on your holiday cards. I may make one or two for a holiday themed challenge, but honestly, otherwise I just can't get motivated to even think about holiday cards until at least November. Then of course I scramble to get them done in time and curse myself for not starting sooner!
ReplyDeleteI love how you personalized your card with the Just Rite stamps. Fab!
Very nice! The snowflake really made the card! TFS
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous holiday card ... and I love the idea of using the JustRite stamper to get lots done at one time.
