Stampin' for Christmas blog hop - Handmade Christmas Card Ideas



Welcome on World Card Making Day to my blog for the October Stampin' for Christmas hop.   I've chosen a CAS card to share today.  I used the very popular Tidings and Trimmings bundle with Tidings of Christmas DSP (pretty papers) along with Perfectly Plaid stamp set and Scalloped Contour dies.

I've chosen a couple of CAS cards to share today.  I used the very popular Tidings and Trimmings bundle with Tidings of Christmas DSP (pretty papers) along with Perfectly Plaid stamp set and Scalloped Contour dies. I used the scallop border die to die cut away about a third of the top layer of my card leaving a gap to showcase a stripe of the pretty papers underneath as well as space for the all important Christmas message to loved ones and friends.  

I've die cut a star in Cherry Cobbler card to add a backdrop to the punched tree and create a small paper banner with an offcut.  Love using every little piece of paper don't you?

I've added a gold heat embossed sentiment which I trimmed with a pair of scissors which I often find is the perfect die when you don't have anything else specific to suit your purpose.  

I love CAS cards for the festive season so that it is easy to create a handful well and quickly.

Here I've used the Festive Foliage background stamp with the same scalloped edge and stamps from Tidings and Trimmings.  You can see more about this card on my earlier Stampingscene post.
