Fir Real - Colorful holiday cards!
When I saw this stamp set from Ink Road, I knew I had to have it. There were 6 trees, so I immediately thought about how I could use them all on one card at the same time. Then there is the name - Fir Real. I love it!
The card is white-on-white layered, to keep the focus on the colors. I like this clean look. Then I used ALL new colors from Stampin Up, along with the greeting (oops...I just noticed this one is a little crooked) from my latest Paper Pumpkin card kit, To You and Yours.
I stamped all of the trees and the greeting, then popped that layer up with a lot of Stampin' Dimensionals. Finish off with a few rhinestones.
Quick and easy enough. Now I have 8 more cards to go into my pile. I used to make 120+ Christmas cards - ALL THE SAME. I liked doing that, but when you use things like designer series paper, you only have so much of one print. After a few years, I started getting bored of making just the one design for a year. I have/had so many other stamps that weren't getting enough love. Now I make a lot of different cards, so I end up with a huge variety. I tend to make at least 8 of a style of card, sometimes more. I also use card kits a lot more now....watch for my next post to see the Timeless Tidings card kit. :)
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
