Christmas Stamp-A-Stack

On Friday night we held our first Christmas Stamp-A-Stack with 8 lovely ladies.  We had a great time and everyone seemed to just whiz though the cards so we all had time to sit and have a cuppa and a chat (which I love). 

This is one of the cards we made with a layout I found on Marelle Taylors website.  She even included the cutting dimensions which made my job so much easier – isn’t she a treasure. 

Anyway I have used Bordering Blue card for my base and stamped the swirl image from Spotlight on Christmas using Bordering Blue ink.  I  stamped “Peace, Love, Joy” from the Occasional Greetings set using Night of Navy ink.  The star image is also from Spotlight on Christmas and I have stamped it in Night of Navy ink also.  The edges of this piece and the Night of Navy card it is layered onto were distressed using the distresser from the Cutter Kit.  The joy image is also from Spotlight on Christmas and I have stamped it in Night of Navy ink onto Whisper White card and punched it out with the 1 1/4″ punch.  I also punched out a 1 3/8″ circle in Night of Navy card and attached them together.  They are mounted using dimensionals.  The fabulous thing about the Spotlight on Christmas stampset is that all the images can be punched out using Stampin’ Up! punches which makes it so easy to get lots of dimension onto your cards.

I love using Bordering Blue and Night of Navy card together  for Christmas and we used them on another card on Friday night.

This card is so simple.  The image and greeting are from the Snow Swirled stampset and have been stamped in Versamark and embossed with silver embossing powder.   The bow is tied with White Taffeta ribbon.

In real life it  is just beautiful.
