Everyone in the Art With Heart team loves Christmas, so we are going to get together each month and share some of our Christmas projects, beginning right now in July.
I'm a sucker for Christmas bauble stamps so I knew that Ornamental Envelopes stamps and the Envelope Dies would be on my pre-order. Initially I was disappointed that the dies didn't seem to fit the outside of the envelope flap, but a team member pointed me to Mary Fish's recent post, and I could see exactly how to use them. What do you think? All the dies to do this are in the set.
The other thing I reall loved from the stamp set is the set of 'address lines' which are very faint in my picture, just to the right of the baubles, but so handy for keeping handwritten addresses straight and neat. I've used Mary's design as a very strong inspiration for my card and included Brightly Gleaming designer series paper as the accent strip. This is the first time Stampin' Up! have ever repeated a paper for a second year.
The lovely clear 'Merry Christmas' comes from another of last year's returning stamp sets, Perfectly Plaid. Did you get that one with it's matching punch last year?
Hoping this inspires you to start early on Christmas cards, that way you'll get enough made to share handmade wishes with all those nearest and dearest this Christmas.
