Julie's Creative Stamping: Tag Buffet by Stampin Up® Christmas Card

Hope your neck deep in Christmas Cards! I think that we have gotten away from sending each other cards in today's world and I think its so sad! I don't know anyone who doesn't like getting mail from someone! Especially a hand made card!

Here's a fun one that goes together really quick. I used the Tag Buffet stamp set and Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper all by Stampin UP®. This paper really reminds me of Christmas! It has that touch of nostalgia that just makes you think of all the old Christmas traditions in your family! At least it does for me!

This card works with the masking technique which will require post-it-notes. So don't forget to get some!

10. Next using Black Memento Ink stamp 3 stocking images onto the Tis the Season DSP then cut out the (3) top of the stockings, (2) heals of the stockings and the (1-2) toes of the stocking depending on how your image came out

11. Adhere these pieces to the the stockings on the card front. (one stocking top will be saved for the stocking on the inside of the card)

12. On the 4 x 5 ¼ Very Vanilla Piece stamp the sentiment in the center in Black Memento ink. Then stamp a stocking in the lower right hand corner and glue the last stocking top to this image.

As you can see this goes together really quick. It's such a fun card to do! Also you could do the same card but use the ornaments in the stamp set instead of the stockings and it would be just a cute! Don't forget to leave me a note in the comments below! It's always nice to hear from you!
