Welcome, Welcome,

This is my second card in my Textures and Frames series. I love working with shapes and frames to make cards that we don’t normally see when we look at these shapes.

Don’t forget to check out the Halloween card I did with this same set!

For this card I combined the Textures and Frames set with the Festive & Bright and Penguin Place sets.

Using the Textures & Frames stamp set do the following steps:

Then using Coastal Cabana ink and the solid circle stamp, stamp the circle as shown

Using So Saffron ink stamp the last solid circle as shown
Using Bermuda Bay ink, stamp the outline circle over the Coastal Cabana circle as shown, then stamp the stripped stamp across the circle as shown.
Using Blackberry Bliss ink, stamp the outline circle over the Rich Razzleberry circle as shown, then stamp the stripped stamp across the circle as shown.
Using Crushed Curry ink, stamp the outline circle over the So Saffron circle as shown, then stamp the stripped stamp across the circle as shown.

Now using the Penguin Place stamp set

Using the little stripped bag stamp, stamp the tops of the ornaments as shown. (Note: I did not ink up the top of the stamp with the bag handle)

Adhere to the card front.

3. Layer 3 – Using the Word Wishes dies cut out the word “Merry” and the word “Christmas” (Note: I did not use the adhesive backing before I cut these out on my video but I would suggest to do that so it’s easier to adhere to the card front.
