Festive Fridays | Sending Good Cheer

Morning all!

Once again this year I’m hoping to keep on top of my Christmas card makes ready for a more relaxed December.

So I’m tentatively planning to share a festive make every Friday, but we’ll see how that goes – especially in the warmer months.

But since it’s full on winter outside right now, I was definitely in the mood to make something frosty.

Stencil: The Stamp Market – Postage Stamps Shadow

Christmas card inspiration featuring Pebbles Winter Wonderland postage collage

I started out by blending various shades of blue onto the Postage Marks Cover die from The Stamp Market using the coordinating Postage Stamp Shadow stencil.

Once the panel was dry, I have it a good splattering of white ink for that snowy look.

Then I took some of the accent stickers from the Pebbles Winter Wonderland collection and filled in the postage stamps.

I luckily had a ready-cut sentiment from Waffle Flower’s Elegant Christmas 2 set that fit perfectly in the middle of the card.

I covered a card base in one of the digital papers from the Pebbles Winter Wonderland collection and mounted the postage panel on top.

And there we have it, the first festive card of the year!

Until next time, happy crafting!
