Hello everyone! I'm playing along this month with my friends Debra and Lisa for the July 2024 Edition of The Crafty Elves Countdown to Christmas, which happens on the 25th of each month, in hopes that our ideas inspire you guys to start to make or help you in your Christmas card making fun.
Today I have 2 cards for you using the same stamp. The other day I was cleaning out a box and I came across a stamp that I must be 12-15 years old but it had yet to be inked up - Birds on Gifts from American Art Stamp. American Art Stamp went out of biz years ago but, believe it or not, I found a site in Germany that still has 1 in stock. Go figure!
It's the perfect little stamp for a Christmas, Hanukkah, or Kwanzaa card, even, a winter birthday. So I made two.
Card No. 1 - Hanukkah
- I made a top-folding A2 card using white cardstock.
- I adhered a piece of plaid paper with tones of blue to the card front.
- I die-cut a piece of white cardstock using a 3.75" x 5" stitched rectangle die, stamped Birds on Gifts towards to the top, colored it using Hanukkah colors, adhered it to a piece of dark blue cardstock, and then to the card front.
- I die-cut the Happy Hanukkah Script Die from Pretty Pink Posh 3 times using the same plaid paper, glued them together, and then adhered to the card front.
- Lastly, I adhered small crystals to the image near the birds.
- I made a top-folding A2 card using white cardstock and adhered a piece of red paper to the card front.
- I die-cut a piece of white cardstock using a 3.75" x 5" stitched rectangle die from Pink & Main, stamped Birds on Gifts towards the top, colored it using Christmas colors, adhered a piece of fun foam to the back, and then to the card front.
- I die-cut the Merry Christmas sentiment from Memory Box using red cardstock and adhered it to the card front.
- Lastly, I adhered small crystals to the image near the birds.
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today and, until next time -
