Stampin' Up Holiday: More Christmas Cards using Christmas Jingle

Hi everyone! I needed a few more holiday cards to mail out so I went back to my trusty Christmas Jingle Simply Scrappin' Kit and even used a digital image printed from My Digital Studio on one of the cards. The sentiment is a rub on from the Autumn Harvest Collection.




This first card has the digital stamp image as the main image. My Digital Studio is awesome for adding special touches you need to your projects...makes hybrid crafting a breeze! Here, the designer paper is from the Merry Moments collection and coordinates well with a Real Red Textured cardstock band and diecut adhesive strip for the Christmas Jingle Kit.





The card above went together in about 5 minutes! Sentiment strip,border strips, and Chocolate Chip Textured Cardstock all from the Christmas Jingle Kit. Sleigh Bells Ribbon still available in the Holiday Mini. The finished card was sprayed with the Shimmer Paint/rubbing alcohol mixture for an all over glitz...really looks beautiful on this textured cardstock!


My "Peace Love Joy' card was created with a variety of "left over" elements from other projects. I started with the lovely Petals A Plenty embossed panel and added the sentiment from Many Merry Messages backed by an Old Olive diecut snowflake from the Christmas Jingle Simply Scrappin' Kit. The card base is Chocolate Chip Textured Cardstock from the kit and I added 5/8" Old Olive Grosgrain Ribbon as the finishing touch.

Need a card in a hurry? Try using some of those unused elements on your desk for a unique creation!---I'm not the only stamper with "stuff" on my desk, right? :)

Inklings:

  • Rub ons are great for putting together a quick project. On my first card above, I cut apart the semtiment, in two, to align it as a needed to on the card.
  • Use your background layer to add the special touch of elegance to your cards. An embossed layer is such a beautiful and easy to achieve touch. The Petals A Plenty Textured Impressions Folder is available in the Holiday Mini--it is gorgeous!

Thanks for stopping by--have a good one!---Lisa :)
