It's time for the We Create Christmas Blog Hop and this month we are sharing our fun ideas for Christmas projects. Christmas is one of my favorite times of the year and I love the variety of products in the 2018 Holiday Catalog so it was a hard choice picking just one.
This month I chose to use the Spirited Snowmen stamp set to create a beautiful Christmas card suitable for a couple. This stamp set is full of cute snowmen images but there was something about this one that just spoke to me.
To create this card I chose Thick Whisper White cardstock for the card base and added a layer of the Dashing Along Designer Series Paper (item #149903). I just love the traditional Christmas colors and patterns in this paper pack.
For the focal design, I cut a 2 1/8" x 5 1/4" piece of Whisper White cardstock and stamped the image onto it with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I stamped the sentiment using the same ink, along the bottom of the cardstock. Using a variety of Stampin' Blends Markers, I colored in the images and added shadowing for the snow.
The snowflakes were stamped using Pool Party Classic ink and I added Basic Rhinestones that colored using the Dark Pool Party Stampin' Blends Marker. I layered the Whisper White cardstock onto a piece of Cherry Cobbler to create a matte to add a little definition to the design.
This stamp set is so sweet and you can create a variety of wonderful cards wit it beyond Christmas cards, just by changing the sentiments. It's great for all ages and works for both guys and girls. I hope this stamp set carries over to a future catalog but in case it doesn't, I recommend you order this one in case it disappears.
I hope you have enjoyed my fun Christmas card and I hope it inspires you to create your own cards for the holidays. Now it's time to visit Julie's blog and see what she has to share this month. Just click the Next button below to visit her blog. I hope that you enjoy the rest of our blog hop.
