A Knight Valentine's Day Card

Hello, my fellow Stampers. I am here today to share my knight card.

This is for that special guy in your life that made you feel special like no other guy has. 

My card base is black cardstock, and then I added a red piece.

The Castle was stamped next.

I stamped the saying with VersaFine Black, and cut it out to look like a shield.

I mounted that saying on a darker piece.

I hope you have a knight in your life. Thanks for taking a look.

Valentine's Day Card For Him

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.
