For this awesome hop, I have created THREE Christmas cards for you! I used the Scrapbook.com exclusives and some great Simon Hurley create. products! I’ve got a video for you below or you can watch it HERE on YouTube.
Here’s a look at the cards I created! I went with an overall vintage feel for my cards. Let me know what you think about them! For the first one, I used the new domed blending tools to apply Distress Oxides to my card panel. I stamped out the Piano Recital background and then crumpled (yes, crumpled!) my panel to make it look old and careworn. I did some direct to paper inking with the exclusive hybrid ink in Cardinal and heat embossed the large sentiment ‘joy to the world.’
For my second card, I used the Piano Recital background stamp again. This time, I used Woof! ink from Simon’s line. I stamped the ‘merry Christmas’ sentiment right on top in hybrid dye ink from Scrapbook.com. I used a Spectrum Noir alcohol marker to color in the word ‘merry’ for a pop of red. I adhered some jute twine and added a cute little bow – that finished my card!
For my last card, I used the Classic Flannel background stamp in Cardinal red ink. I used the nesting star dies to cut out a few stars from my card panel and then popped the panel up with the new foam adhesive (this stuff is gold, y’all!). I backed the panel with some sparkling gold cardstock and added a sentiment from Simon’s ‘Caroling Squad’ stamp set. I heat embossed it on black cardstock and added a few clear sequins to finish off this one.

Thx for a very informative vid! So many tips packed into just 10 min! I like the plaid w/stars the best, although I definitely plan to check out the Piano Recital stamp – very cool!
I have so many happy memories of Christmas…my most recent fave (now that our oldest is married & lives 25 min away) is sitting around our kitchen table playing games after dinner & presents.

years ago some of my family decided to stop buying all the gifts and focus on other parts of the holiday. I thought my grands would be upset and they were, but not why you think. they said are we still going to get to decorate your tree. so yes I still put up a tree. we have snacks, make a craft and they get to decorate.

I am loving the piano recital stamp! My favorite card is the one with Merry Christmas. That’s my idea of this season. Telling EVERYONE Merry Christmas and singing lots of Christmas carols. That’s my favorite memory and tradition: singing Christmas carols at church and at home surrounded by candlelight.

Good to know that the blending tools are easy to use! Thanks for the tip. A Christmas tradition that I remember as a little one – every year we put tinsel on the tree. The technique was very important as we had to put one piece at a time on the tree…never two! The joys of a sparkling tree!
