Glory to God in the Highest

 

Hi Friends!

Today I am sharing a quick Christmas card designed with the new Studio Light Sending Joy 6x6 paper pad, the Christmas Peace  stamp set and other items from Stamp Simply.

I love the new Sending Joy paper pad- so many gorgeous patterns that make it easy to create multiple cards by just adding a sentiment along with a few other details (plus relatively flat for mailing)!

Many of you who follow my blog, know that I enjoy participating with online challenges! I will be linking this card to the Tic-Tac-Toe #139 Challenge (bottom row across- Holiday, Silver or Gold, Patterned Paper), the Alphabet “P is for Patterned Paper” Challenge and the Word Art Wednesday #517-#518 “Anything Goes” Challenge.

If you have not had a chance to visit the Stamp Simply blog or the other challenge sites yet, I encourage you to do so- gorgeous inspiration from all!

To create this card:

Trim a piece of the Sending Joy 6x6 designer paper to approx. 3 ¾” x 5”. 

De-static the upper area of the panel with an embossing powder tool, ink the sentiment from the Christmas Peace  stamp set with Versamark ink, apply gold embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Use a distressing tool (or the edge of your scissors) to lightly distress the edges.

Die cut a piece of white cardstock with the Tim Holtz Crochet Dies, add to the card front.   

Adhere a strip of sage twill ribbon over the top of the crochet die cut, wrapping the ends behind the panel.

Mount the panel onto dark green cardstock, trim and mount onto a white card base.

Finish off the card by adding shimmer to the bells with a clear glitter marker.
