It doesn’t get much better than this for us crafters! Not only will 37 stamps give your stash a serious boost, but it will see you through all of your Christmas cards for years to come. Must-have sentiments, classic motifs, decorative effects, could we ask for more? We’ve already ripped it open and are primed and ready with our bursting-at-the-seams ink collection, so without further ado, let’s get making!
1 Die-cut an 8cm circle of masking paper and fix towards the top of a 10.5cm x 13.5cm panel of white card. Blend pink ink over the surface, fading towards the bottom. Remove the mask and stamp the large tree over the circle. Stamp the sentiment under the tree and add a few gems. 2 Mount dotty paper onto a slightly larger piece of red card and glue onto a white card base. Attach a thin strip of striped paper across the panel. Stamp the stockings onto white card and colour in, then stamp snowflakes around the top using grey ink. Mount the panel onto red, then green card and attach with foam pads. Stamp the sentiment and layer onto red card, leaving a slim border. Adhere onto the card front along with gems in each corner.
