Christmas Card Making Ideas by Becca Feeken using Waltzingmouse Stamps and Spellbinders - www.amazingpapergrace.com

My first card is a tent card and I used Spellbinders Elegant Ovals paired with Spellbinders Labels Twenty Five on the upper part.  I love the format of this card and it calls attention to the oval.  The sentiment is large and bold and is one of the new sets being offered today by Waltzingmouse Stamps called ‘Tis the Season.  The tiny embellishment under the sentiment is Spellbinders Corner Flourish Two.

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps Waltzingmouse Stamps – ‘Tis the Season
Paper: Neenah Classic Crest Natural White Smooth 80 lb Cardstock, Gold Paper, PTI Pure Poppy, ETA:  Teresa Collins – Checking it Twice (12″x12″) (striped)

My next card is glittery gold and I simply used Spellbinders Pinwheel Delight to give you a peek through the card to my background.  The bold sentiment from ‘Tis the Season is stamped on the bottom and embossed in gold.  Just so that there’s no doubt it’s a Christmas Card, a splash of red ribbon to draw your eye right in.

Question Parking Lot:

Charlotte Zwiegoron on comment #44 asked about the striped paper I used.  Charlotte, I seemed to miss that one – it was Teresa Collins – Checking It Twice 12″ x 12″ pad.  Also corrected Papertrey Ink Red to Papertrey Ink – Pure Poppy :-)

    Good evening Becca,
    Well, the first card is festive with a capital “F” !! The card and the “Tis the Season” sentiment is gorgeous.
    The second card appears more restrained and dignified but still beautiful with a lovely “Noel”. It’s hard to choose between them.
    Love xxReplyCancel
