Julie's Creative Stamping: Ornamentals Envelopes "Celebrate the Season" Simple Stamping

Thanks for popping into my blog! I love Christmas and the time we spend with family and friends. I think that's why I love designing Christmas Cards! They help to spread the joy of Christmas. This card is made using the Ornamental Envelopes Stamp Set and the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set. It does come with dies and I did use them for the envelope but I wanted to design a card that just used the stamp set! I also added in some of the Tis the Season Designer Series Paper to add to the finished look!
