A Scripted Holiday!

In my opinion, there's nothing more useful than a great woodblock message stamp! Today I'm using two large script holiday greetings from the Wintertime Fun release that make cardmaking a SNAP!

Let’s begin with Season’s Greetings Script. I stamped the message in Red Royal on Snow layering paper, then matted it in red. As an embellishment, I stamped the Color Layering Holly leaves and then die cut. For the centers, I simply die cut circles from the same red cardstock then added gems to the centers. Choosing the colors for the leaves was easy peasy with the coordinating inks (which also comes with red embossing powder!). The entire thing was attached to a Kraft notecard.


For the second card I first stamped Berry Background in red on red card stock. Next I stamped Merry Christmas Script in red onto white and attached both pieces to my card. For a festive card element, I used the Ornament Infinity Dies with printed green paper and as well as some super fun shiny gold cardstock from my stash. More red gems as well as green finished the card.

There's nothing like the smell of a fresh, new woodblock stamp. Who's with me on that?

Thanks for stopping by!
