Merry Christmas- CAS Cards

Hi Friends! 

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

As I mentioned in previous posts, I absolutely love all of the patterns in the new Studio Light Sending Joy 6x6 paper pad-  they are perfect for quick Christmas or winter cards!  Just add a sentiment and a few other elements (if you wish)- easy to create and also flat for mailing!

For this set of cards, I wanted to show that you could create several styles with the same stamp and just a few supplies that you most likely already have on hand.

Many of you who know that I enjoy participating with online challenges and I will be linking this card to the Simon Monday “Sparkle Mode” Challenge (it is hard to see the sparkle from the glitter pen on all of the ornaments, silver flower, etc. but it is there), Try It On Tuesday “Winter Wonderland” Challenge and the Word Art Wednesday #519-#520 “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- fabulous inspiration from all!

To create this set of cards:

Trim the bird and candle 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 next to the bird and candle with an embossing powder tool.

Ink the sentiment from the Merry Christmas stamp set with Versamark, apply silver embossing powder and/or and gold embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Mount both panels to a piece of 4 ¼” x 5 ½” piece of dark green cardstock and adhere to a white card base.

Use a clear glitter pen to add shimmer to the ornaments, silver flowers, flames and berries (it is hard to see this shimmer in the photos but it is there, lol!).

Add a strip of ¼” crochet lace  to the lower portion of the bird scene and cover the top of the lace with a scrap piece of dark green cardstock.

Again, very easy to create and flat for mailing!
