Happy Thanksgiving Weekend! It's always wonderful to stop and take note of all that we have to be thankful for! It's also a reminder to be thankful daily to our Lord and Savior for His blessings.
I have a simple design today featuring Stamp Simply's Christmas Blessings stamp and die sets. You can purchase these as a bundle or individually.
I decided to paper piece the holly leaves. Paper piecing is one of my favorite techniques, adding print and color from a sheet of designer paper to your stamped image. The designer paper used here is Carta Bella's Home for Christmas. The colors are a bit darker in the pad than what is showing in the photo.
To paper piece, simple stamp the holly leaves with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a sheet of cream cardstock. Also stamp the image onto the decorator paper piece that you want to use. I colored the berry portion of the cream cardstock image with Copic Sketch markers, then die cut it with the Christmas Blessings Holly die. I fussy cut the leaves from the stamped decorator paper image, then glued them into place on the cream image. Ranger Crystal Effects were used to give the berries dimension and shine.
The arched layers were cut with Stamping Up's Arched Die set, with the sentiment from the Christmas Blessings stamp set stamped directly onto the main panel with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink.
A fun card to make and mail!
