Hello Everyone & Happy November!
I'm excited about the new November release! As always, it is loaded with a wonderful variety of stamps. Let's start with the new gorgeous scripted Merry Christmas stamp. It can give a classy pop to the front, inside of your card, or even your envelope flap... then there's gift tags, bookmarks, small gift bags...
On this card it was paired with #S996 Summer Flowers Frame from a previous release. You may have it already. If not, and you'd like to check it out to see other examples of how the TJ Design team used it, you can see it here.
To create this card:
1) Stamp the floral frame around the card.
2) Die cut a rectangle piece (you can cut a rectangle piece for this and use a corner punch if you have one).
3) Next I stamp the floral frame on parts of the rectangle piece (as much or as little as appeals to you).
4) Then stamp Merry Christmas in red in the center of the rectangle piece.
5) Now the fun part - Get out your green and red shades of markers or colored pencils, grab some coffee, turn on some music, and enjoy coloring the flowers and leaves. I think coloring is calming. How about you?
6) Last - Add foam to the back of the rectangle piece to raise it off the card. No foam? No problem. Layer a few pieces of scrap card stock together and raise the piece up that way. There's always a way :)
You can find the just released and automatically 15% off November stamps here.
