Today we're sharing this retro style Christmas card using the Oh Christmas Tree stamp set from MFT Stamp. Super simple!
We cut the scallop and stitched pieces using the Blueprints #20 die set from MFT Stamps. The trees we're stamped with some fun, non traditional colors, and embellished with silver stars stamped with Silvery Shimmer Delicata ink (my favorite silver metallic ink). We added a bit of Silver Stickles inside the centers of the stars for some added bling.
Supplies Used:
Blueprints #20 from MFT Stamps
Silvery Shimmer Delicata ink from Tsukineko
Silver Stickles from Ranger Ink
Oh Christmas Tree stamp set from MFT Stamp

Merry and Bright Holiday Card
Our card today was created using the String of Lights die from Lawn Fawn and the Merry and Bright channel die from Poppy Stamps.
After cutting the light bulbs from watercolor paper, we colored them with Tim Holtz Distress Inks. It's hard to see in the photo, but we added a layer of clear embossing powder over the ink to give it a glassy look. We also added some Stardust Stickles to the edges for some added shimmer.
The Merry and Bright was cut from the front of the card using the Merry and Bright channel die from Poppy Stamps. We colored a strip of paper using the same Distress Inks we used for the bulbs and added it behind the Merry and Bright.
SUPPLIES USED:
Merry and Bright Channel Die from Poppy Stamps
String of Lights die from Lawn Fawn
Distress Inks from Tim Holtz
Ink Blending Tool from Tim Holtz
Clear Embossing Powder from Ranger Ink
VersaMark Ink from Tsukineko
Stardust Stickles from Ranger Ink
Watercolor Paper from Strathmore
Foam Dimensional Tape from Scotch
