Another Quick Set of Christmas Cards

 

Hi Friends!

This week we are focusing on Christmas and my Design Team sisters have created the most beautiful cards.  I hope you take a few minutes to check them out at the Stamp Simply blog!

Today I am sharing another set of quick cards using the Studio Light Sending Joy 6x6 paper pad along with the Merry Christmas Stamp and Die Bundle,  Wonder of Christmas Sentiments stamp set, and a pearl.

With this paper pad, a stamp set or two, and die set, you can create over 40 cards very easily!  FYI- I have two additional quick cards in my last post here.

As many of you who follow my blog know, I enjoy playing along with online challenges,  so I will be linking this card to the A Place to Start November 2023 “Anything Goes” Challenge.

If you have not had a chance to check out my Sister DT cards yet, or the A Place To Start Challenge site, I hope you will do so- wonderful inspiration from all!

To create both of these cards:

Trim two pieces of the Studio Light Sending Joy 6x6 paper to 4”x 5 ¼” and distress the edges with a distressing tool.

De-static the panels with an embossing powder tool, ink the sentiments with Versafine Onyx Black, stamp directly onto the designer paper, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Distress the edges of the designer paper and adhere the panels to black cardstock (4 ⅛” x 5 ⅜”), trimming close to the edges.

For the star card, de-static a piece of white cardstock with an embossing powder tool, ink the star image from the Merry Christmas stamp set with Versamark ink onto white cardstock, stamp onto the prepared cardstock, apply gold embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Once the embossing has cooled, die cut the star  with the coordinating star die. Also die cut another star from plain white cardstock to layer behind the embossed image.

Mount onto the star onto the card front with dimensional foam.

Add a pearl to the star center and adhere the entire panel to a white card base to finish off the card.

The second card is even easier!  After embossing the sentiment onto the panel and mounting onto black cardstock, adhere to a piece of cherry cardstock and mount onto a white card base.

Both cards are nice and flat for mailing as well!
