Let's celebrate the start of a new month with Week 44 of the Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Color Challenge. This week we are showcasing the beautiful Balmy Blue, one of my favorite blues and I had so much fun creating this fun Christmas card. This pretty blue from the Subtles Collection gives this card design a wonderful frosty feeling and I can't wait to share with you how I created it.
Now that we are officially in November, you may be feeling a bit of a panic to create your Christmas cards to send to family and friends. This sweet Christmas card is a wonderful example of how you can take one stamp set to create a variety of cute cards that are sure to make people smile. The Dear Santa stamp set has adorable images and cute sentiments to help you create heartfelt designs that are perfect for some simple coloring. I paired it with one of the designs from the Subtles 6"x6" Designer Series Paper for the background and I love the detail created with the Everyday Details Dies for the focal image circle and sentiment label. You could create a wonderful set of cards for the holidays with just these supplies.

This cute card is so easy and fun to create with just a few simple supplies. The images in the Dear Santa stamp set are easy to color and don't take a lot of time. I chose to use Stampin' Blends Markers and as you can see, I only used a handful of colors to color in the image and bring this cute little guy to life. I love the texture that the designer series paper adds to the background and helps make the focal circle and sentiment label pop. I used Stampin' Dimensionals to pop them up to give them a little extra dimension.
