Julie's Creative Stamping: Life is Beautiful "Simple Stampin" Christmas Card!

Here's another great card created with simple stamping. Sometimes simple is better! I think we forget how beautiful cards can be with a stamp set, card stock and ink! I hope you like my take on this card! One note, I have found when using Whisper White Craft ink it looks best stamped on a dark cardstock. I also use the Stamparatus by Stampin Up® to help get a good image. For this card I used three different stamp sets by Stampin Up®, Life is Beautiful, Rustic Retreat and Itty Bitty Christmas. Please take the time to leave me a comment below and let me know what you think of this card!

Note: When using Whisper White craft ink make sure your stamp pad has plenty of ink.
I also use the Stamparatus to get a good image.
From the Rustic Retreat stamp set, stamp the cabin image in Whisper White craft ink ink right between the 2 trees about 1/16" from the bottom edge.
Using the water image from the "Life is Beautiful" stamp set and whisper white craft ink,
Stamp several images across the bottom edge as shown.
Layer 3 - From the "Itty Bitty Christmas" stamp set, stamp the sentiment in Cherry Cobbler ink centering.
Using stampin dimensionals adhere to card front above the cabin and between the trees.
Layer 4 - Adhere to the inside of the card.
Layer 5 - Stamp sentiment from "Itty Bitty Christmas" stamp set in Cherry Cobbler ink centering on page.
Then adhere to inside of card.
