Echo Park Silent Night - Card Set #3

Hi Friends! 

As I mentioned in my post yesterday, we are focusing on quick and easy cards for December on the Stamp Simply blog, and today, this set of cards is being shared. 

If you have not had a chance to visit the Stamp Simply blog,  I hope you will take the time to do so – gorgeous inspiration from the Design Team.  I am sure they will inspire you!  

Plus, Stamp Simply has a Christmas sale…

This quick set of five cards was designed using different patterns and cut-a-parts from the Silent Night 6 x6 paper pad (Echo Park) along with sentiments from a few stamp sets, Jesus and  Merry Christmas.

I did incorporate a few sketch challenges from Splitcoaststampers for the layouts ion the cards (one of my goals is to create a card for each of their over 850 sketches:-)).

Card #1 uses designer paper for the background, mounted onto espresso cardstock and a trimmed strip from one of the designer paper pages from Silent Night.  The sentiment from Merry Christmas  was stamped with Versamark ink and heat embossed with pewter embossing powder. After the embossing cooled, the Fishtail Sentiment Banners dies were used to finish off this quick and easy card!

Card #2, again uses the background papers, cut-a-parts and gold foil were used to create this quick card and I incorporated the SC172 Splitcoaststampers sketch into the layout.

Card #3 uses just the background paper and cut-a-parts along with gold foil and the SC464 Splitcoaststampers Sketch for the layout.

Card #4 was designed using the SC264 Sketch Challenge for the layout along with gold foil die cuts using the Fishtail Sentiment Banners as well as the cut-a-parts and background paper.

Card #5- This background on the final card in this set was designed using the main sentiment image from Jesus, stamped with Versamark and heat embossed with gold embossing powder.  A bit of gold foil and a cut-a-part along with background paper using the SC131 Sketch for the layout and this card is finished!

Stamp Sets: Jesus, Merry Christmas (Stamp Simply)

Cardstock/Paper:  Whisper White, Gold Foil, Silent Night 6x6 Paper Pad (Echo Park)

I love the Echo Part Silent Night 6x6 paper pad- I was able to create thirteen quick Christmas cards in one afternoon and still have more than half the pad left to go! I think this paper would allow you to create over forty cards using just a few additional supplies- what a value!

Thanks again for taking the time to stop by- I hope all of you have a blessed week!  I will be sharing more of the cards from this pad in a future post :-)
