Now, on with a project! I made this Christmas card using two new Simon Says Stamp Die-Cember dies - the lovely Woodland Rectangular Frame and the Large Tags. I also used some favorite Simon Says Stamp exclusive stamp sets and the pretty Village Dies... Take a look!
I started with a nice simple Kraft card base and layered the pretty Woodland Rectangular Frame down first. Then I cut the Large Tag die and stamped some pretty snowflakes with Antique Linen Distress Ink. My sentiment is stamped in Rich Cocoa Ink. I wanted a very 'natural' feeling with my colors for this card. I stamped some snowflakes onto the Kraft paper also - for a nice watermark effect.
Here is a close up of the stamping. I also gently inked around the edge of my tag with some more Linen Distress ink. One of my tried and true tricks for tags is this combination of ribbon, twine and a button. I like this layered look and I like to match in some more color at the top of my tags. This time I added a pretty gold sequin too!
I used the Village Die to cut out some pretty red houses and green trees, and then layered them across the bottom of my tag with some foam squares. Again, keeping it clean and simple.
The sentiment says it all... Merry! Merry Christmas everyone! Thank you for coming by today to join me in this fun Blog Hop. Have a blessed day.
