Hi Friends!

Today I am sharing a another set of two quick Christmas cards designed with the new Studio Light Sending Joy 6x6 paper pad with the Jesus stamp set along with other items all from Stamp Simply.

I absolutely love all of the patterns in the new Studio Light Sending Joy 6x6 paper pad- you could just add a sentiment and be finished!

Many of you who know that I enjoy participating with online challenges and I will be linking this card to the Simon Says Wednesday “Anything Goes” Challenge along with The Card Concept #164 Rustic Holiday Challenge (I was inspired by the colors, the rustic theme as well as the greenery and lights.  Both cards are Clean and Layered Shabby and Vintage style). 

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 set of cards:

Trim the ornament and truck patterned paper from the Sending Joy paper pad to approx. 3 ¾” x 5”.

Distress the edges with a distressing tool (or the edge of your scissors). 

De-static the area below the ornaments and the upper right area on the truck scene with an embossing powder tool.

Ink the sentiment from the Jesus stamp set with Versafine Onyx Black ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Once the embossing has cooled, ink the text block image from the Jesus stamp set with tumbled glass distress oxide ink, stamp over the background on the truck scene.

Mount the truck scene onto dark green cardstock, trim and mount onto a piece of 4 ¼” x 5 ½” red cardstock and adhere to a white card base. 

Use a clear glitter pen to add shimmer to the snow to finish off the truck scene card.

For the ornament card, die cut a piece of white cardstock with the Tim Holtz Crochet Dies.

Adhere the paper lace strip to the ornament panel, add a strip of dark green cardstock over the top of the “lace” and trim off the ends.

Mount onto a piece of dark green cardstock and adhere to a white card base.

Use a clear glitter marker to add shimmer to the stars and ornaments to finish off the card.

Easy to create and flat for mailing! I hope I have inspired you to create a few Christmas cards this week!
