Creating Christmas Cards With Layered Stencils

Today's card is surprisingly easy thanks to the coordinating coloring stencils.  In my opinion, it would be a great candidate to mass produce.

I started by stamping the tree image on white cardstock using  water-proof ink.  After stamping my trees, I used the layering stencils to add color.  I think it's faster to complete the same layer on each stamped image before moving on to the next layer / color.  For the final step, I used some Stickles Glitter glue to paint in the stencil openings for the smaller leaves.  This would also be lovely on the berries instead of the leaves.

Next, I created some banner greetings.  I used the Winter Banner Greetings from Mama Elephant and cut several banners at one time.  Each card has a different holiday sentiment, but I saved time by cutting them all in a single pass on the die cut machine.

My final step...I cut scalloped frames before assembling my cards. 

Thanks so much for stopping by and taking a peek.  I hope you were inspired to create something today.
