2020 Christmas Countdown | Day 24 (Merry Little Christmas)

Good morning!

It’s a day of experimentation for today’s card project:

Card | Handmade by Natty | The Stamp Market Merry Background Stamp

Stamps: The Stamp Market – Merry background, The Stamp Market – Candy Cane Christmas, Flora & Fauna – Holiday Word Party
Die: Lil’ Inker Designs – Stitched Stars (r)

I made my own background paper with the aid of the Merry background stamp from The Stamp Market filled in with the coordinating word stamp from the Candy Cane set using a selection of festive ink colours.

I didn’t want to cover up the background I’d created, so instead showcased the sentiment with an aperture and popped up the panel on 3D foam tape.

It also made a nice change to use a non-white card base and the aqua tones really brought out the other vibrant colours. 🙂

Happy crafting, until next time!

About my project supply lists

I only use and share products that I genuinely love. The product supply lists that accompany my projects are simply intended to provide a visual overview of what I’ve used in case you have the same items at home or would like to add them to your own shopping list.
In my supply lists, I link to several stores in the UK and US and am an affiliate member of Scrapbook.com, The Greetery, Concord & 9th, Altenew, Spellbinders US and UK, and Amazon UK. This means that when you click on an affiliate link and go on to make a purchase, I will receive a small percentage at no cost to you. Money raised through affiliate links will go straight towards my crafting fund, which includes hosting this blog.
Please note that any products marked “(r)” are retired and may no longer be available for sale online.
Following the transition of my old blog, Kool Kitty Musings, to Handmade by Natty, the supply lists in those posts may have missing images and out of date links. There is no easy fix for this, I’m afraid – but you can still see which stores stocked the items in question at the time of posting.
I also list the stores I regularly use and have affiliate links for here.
