Welcome to Create with Stamping Friends Creatively Simple Challenge! Each month Debbie and I will pick a theme for our simple cards. Our theme for November is Christmas! Time to be thinking about what you will be making for Christmas cards and gifts!
YULETIDE VILLAGE
I love the little houses and church in the Yuletide Village stamp set! Today’s is a quick card using one of the house images and the tag from Greetings of the Season (Online Exclusive).
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Pool Party cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Lost Lagoon was added on top.
- The next layer is a 3-3/4 x 5 piece of Winter Meadow DSP.
- A 1-1/2 x 3 piece of Basic White cardstock was torn across the top and added to a 3 x 4-1/4 piece of Pool Party cardstock. It was cut with the tag from Greetings of the Season.
- The top portion was stamped with the snowflakes in White Craft Ink and let dry. Then the greeting from Greetings of the Season was stamped with Poppy Parade Ink.
- The houses image was stamped with Memento Black Ink on scrap Basic White cardstock and colored with Smoky Slate, Soft Sea Foam, Light Daffodil Delight and Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends. The bow and scarf with Poppy Parade Marker. It was hand-cut and added to the tag with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Some Real Red & White Baker’s Twine was tied in a bow on the tag.
- Wink of Stella was added to the rooftops and snowlines for a little sparkle!
My Stamp Clubs will be doing a variation of this using one of the Book Boxes! Ok, check out Debbie’s new Creatively Simple card over on Create with Stamping Friends!
