Religious Christmas Card

Hello Stampers. Vicky here today with a Christmas card for you.

Now that Thanksgiving is over, I am getting my Christmas cards ready.

I have about 30 different ones to make, so I wanted to make cards that were quick.

I used natural colors, but I know this stamp looks good with other colors too.

I started with a dark brown card.

The first layer is light tan with a textured dark brown. I put some string around the card and tied it.

The stamp has some space between the main part of the saying and the 'Merry Christmas'.

I used a die with the lightest tan and stamped the saying, May Our Savior on it.

** I masked the Merry Christmas off the bottom and only stamped the top part of the saying.

I stamped Merry Christmas on the bottom of the card. 

The Nativity Scene was stamped on white cardstock and mounted on the tan cardstock.

Stamps Used:

May Our Savior 

   Nativity Scene

I wish you great joy during this holiday season!

Santa Is On His Way

Hello Stampers. Vicky here today with a simple, quick, no-coloring Christmas card.

I punched a circle in a piece of scrap cardstock and sponged yellow for the moon. Then I added a little yellow around the moon for a glowing effect.

The Cityscape was stamped at the bottom of the card.

I sponged blue, then black, around the edges.

Santa's Sleigh Sm. was stamped across the moon.

Then mounted it on red cardstock and put it on a white card.

The saying "Enjoy the Warmth" was stamped and placed on the same red cardstock as the front.

A very easy card, I hope it inspired you.

Wishing You A Haunting Night

Here is my last Halloween card for this year! It's a simple and quick Halloween card with a frightfully cute pumpkin.

Autumn Blessing

 Hello Stampers. Vicky is here today. I made a quick fall card. The leaves in the background match the leaves in the saying. There is also a leaf border that matches these leaves. I will list all of them below.

I started with the saying Autumn Blessing and embossed and trimmed it. I cut gold cardstock and rounded the edges. This would make a great Thanksgiving stamp.

I also rounded the edges of the black cardstock behind the gold cardstock. I cut a square vanilla piece of cardstock and sponged Acure color ink around the edges. I stamped the Set Of Leaves and colored them. I placed the square on black card stock and put it on the left side. I added the leaves on the right.
