Today I'm sharing a simple card made using the beautiful stamp set Peace to You. Peace to all is what we all hope for I'm sure.
To create the card I have stamped the church image onto basic grey card and heat embossed in white. I used the stitched rectangle dies to cut out the image and added faux red linen ribbon, bakers twine and a flat jingle bell to showcase the simple sentiment. This card was very popular at my Christmas card buffet.
It is easily reproducible so a great one for lots of makes to send out for Christmas. The stamp set will retire very soon and is available on the last chance list.
I'm also sharing this fun little Robin handmade Christmas card. For this design I used the Songbird builder punch to create a Robin using kraft card with sponging and a red card for his distinctive red breast. I've then used the Sweet Songbird stamp set to stamp the branches, musical notes and his feet so that I could then stamp with the holly and berries from the Christmas Banners stamp set retiring soon and reduced in the winter sale.
This card is easy to make too and requires a little punching with the Songbird punch and then simple stamping. To create a little detail on the Robin you can use a sponge dauber or blending brush to add a darker shade to the kraft card. I punched the beak out of early espresso card, but you could blend onto the kraft card for this too.
Use up those papers that we all hoard to add a pretty background matt layer.
Enjoy the hop and check out the Stampin' Up! sale where there are discounts of up to 60% on stamps and dies.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great December.
