Last week I had a chance to finally take out Yuletide Village stamp set. I had picked it up last year and thought that it would make a pretty scene. It sure does! I got the idea for this card and the next card from Catherine Proctor and Peggy Murwin. I love the soft colors and the little church.
The addition of the beige designer paper cut with the arch dies adds so much. The paper was from Nests of Winter. I added some snowflakes to make it look like a winter day.
Here is a tiny little town like something out of a Hallmark movie. I used three strips of paper from various designer packs. I like how it sets up the scene and the colors for the front of the card.
For the tree cut outs, I used the Frosted Forest cut outs. I thought they looked great for the winter trees.
For our third card, I used Shepherd's Care. I got the idea for this card from Mo Rootes. Although it's hard to tell in the photo, I used a muted designer paper to stamp the scene onto. The shepherd stamps so nicely - the shading is right in the stamp. The background papers are from the Peaceful Garden paper pack.
I added a touch of gold embellishments to make the card shine. I stamped some dots for stars using gold ink. This card was quick and easy to make. I hope to make some more of them.
Have you started on your Christmas cards yet? I have three more Christmas card classes to go.
