Happy Friday! Hope you are having a great start to your weekend. Today I’m sharing a few Christmas cards that I made using a variety of stamps from Waffle Flower Crafts. Here is what I came up with:
The idea for this card started with my desire to create a single layer Christmas card–the easiest card to send through the mail to my friends. Then I created a clean and simple Christmas tree card by stamping all the small images from Holiday Labels-Merry Stamp Set, A Homemade Christmas Stamp Set, Surface-Tag Stamp Set, and Planner Add-on: Weather.
Small images can be great to be used to fill in the shape like a Christmas tree. Depending on the occasion, you can create a heart, star, and etc. The possibilities are endless. So you need to observe what small images you have in your stamp sets.
This is my second card using a same theme but different sentiment. As I did for my first card. I started by drawing a tree using a pencil and ruler before stamping. Then I used my brand new pigment ink pads from Mama Elephant to stamp the images to shape the tree. Do you like the color scheme that I chose? I couldn’t love it enough! 🙂
The small sentiment from A Homemade Christmas Stamp Set fitted perfectly as my Christmas tree stand. By the way, I used Naturals White cardstock from Stamping’ UP for my both cards as card base.
I made another one using a different card base which is a kraft cardstock from Papertrey Ink. I love the rustic feeling from the paper.
I had so much fun creating these one layer cards using all the tiny stamps that I rarely use. Then I ended up making a set of Christmas cards. Hope you love my cards and get some inspiration as well.
FYI, these are the images of the stamp sets that I used to create my Christmas cards: Holiday Labels-Merry, A Homemade Christmas, Surface-Tag, Planner Add-on: Weather.
