This post combines 2 challenges. This first card is for the stamping challenge. It asked that we stamp our own background paper. As I was thinking about it, I came across the Artful Card Kit called "Santa Baby" from HOTP. I remembered a stamp set that came in a cardmaking magazine several years ago ("Happy Holidays: 21 Vintage Christmas
Stamps"). I was also able to find similar colors in my inks ("Cracked Pistachio" Distress Oxide ink, "Barn Door" distress ink, and Versafine black ink) &
watercolor pencils, so I was set.
Both the background & the focal
were stamped using stamps from that Happy Holidays set. The sentiment was stamped on a
tag from the Artful Card Kit using a stamp from "Christmas Labels & Trims"
(HOTP). The focal was die cut & stenciled around the edge using one
of the dies from Spellbinders "2012 Heirloom Ornaments".
The inside made use of a couple of die cuts from the kit.
The next card was created for a very simple challenge - simply "Make a Christmas Card". I found this focal in a Hunkydory Set (Snowy Season) and matched it with papers from a 6" x 6" "Welcome Christmas" Paper pad by Pebbles. I
also used some red suede paper & white border Dazzles (HOTP). I decided to make this card closer to a square than I usually do. This one was 6 1/4" x 5 3/4".
