Christmas Cards from 2019

I know it's late for posting Christmas cards, but just wanted to keep a record for myself. I had a blast with an old Stampin' Up! wood set called All-Season Wreath. My friend, Lynette, has loaned this set and several other SU sets to me for the winter.

Used distress evergreen bough ink for the wreath and holly. Used colored pencils to color in the berries and leaves. Added  the little Christmas tree from
Michael Strong's Seasonal Silhouettes 1 which was stamped in distress festive berry ink and fussy cut. Sentiment is from Northwoods and it is stamped in distress festive berries.
Stamped the little flowers from the All-Seasons Wreath and colored them with colored pencils. Used distress worn lipstick on Michal Strong's  little Christmas tree here.

Used a Hero Arts snowflake clear stamp and distress broken china with my Misti to make this snowflake wreath. Attached some Hero Arts plastic sequins with acrylic medium.

Used a clear stamps from Stampin' Up's Yay You set for the wreath and hearts.
The "thank you" is from Stampin' Up's What I Love clear acrylic set.

This Christmas tree is from Michael Strong's Christmas Tree set. The Sentiment is a Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous cling rubber stamp from the Mini Holidays 2, CMS096.

Back to Michael Strong's tiny Christmas tree from Michael Strong's Seasonal Silhouettes 1, this time using the entire impression of that stamp in distress worn lipstick. The snowman and pine leaves are a cling rubber stamp given to me by Maggie, a dear friend. The sentiment stamped in distress festive berries is from Stampin' Up's Snow Swirled wood set.
I used my old paper crimper to add texture to the blue layer on these last 2 cards.

Thank you for visiting!
Hope you are having a great day!
