Another Holy Night

I've said it before, but I love this stamp set! It is so simple yet cute and full of impact! It looks great in a variety of colour combos too. Last time I showed you this stamp set using a chalkboard effect, today I've made a lovely card using different shades of blue.

 

Ingredients

Stamps: O Holy Night

Ink: Costal Cabana, Island Indigo

Paper: Smokey Slate, Whisper White, Pool Party, Island Indigo, Winter Frost DSP

Accessories: Rhinestones

 

 

Isn't is cute?! And that Winter Frost DSP with just a hint of shimmer really adds to it!

 

Happy Stamping,

Chalkbord Holy Night

Sorry for my hiatus lately, it's been a busy household around here. Between teaching classes (crafting) and taking classes (nursing), working full time (mommy and nurse), trying to keep a clean house and squeeze in some fitness at the same time, life has been a little hectic. But I am back, hopefully you'll be seeing a lot more of me!

Today I have a card to share with you using one of my favourite stamp sets from the holiday catalogue. It's such a simple stamp (actually the set only comes with 2 pieces) but I love it, I find it so pretty and just says everything that Christmas is.

 

Ingredients

Stamp Sets: O Holy Night

Ink: Whisper White Craft Ink

Paper: Crumb Cake, Basic Black, Season of Style Designer Series Paper Stack

Accessories: Riding Hood Red Seam Binding Ribbon

 

A super simple card but I absolutely love the chalkboard effect, created with the whisper white craft ink. Stay tuned later this week and I will share a totally different style card using the same stamp set.

 

Happy Stamping,

Elizabeth Emma
