Easy Christmas Card Idea Using the Noel Tidings Stamp Set

Make a beautiful beginner Christmas card using the Noel Tidings Stamp Set, simple stamped greenery, and a fresh red, green, and Pool Party color combination.

Supplies Needed
  

  • Basic White Cardstock: 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" (Scored at 4-1/4")
  • Basic White Cardstock: 4" x 5-1/4" (Stamped Mat)
  • Basic White Cardstock: 5/8" x 4-1/4" (Sentiment Strip)

Instructions
 

  • Fold the Basic White cardstock at the 4-1/4" score line to create your Card Base.
  • Using the 4" x 5-1/4" Basic White mat, Stamp the detailed pine branch at the top using Garden Green Ink. Reink the stamp and stamp again. Repeat 2 more times. (See the sample for placement; don't worry about where they meet in the center as you'll be covering the center with the sentiment.)
  • Using the second detailed pine branch, stamp next to one of the stamped images using Pool Party ink. Stamp 3 more times as desired.
  • Stamp the branch 6-8 times using Garden Green ink. Stamp the berries onto the branches using Real Red ink,
  • Adhere the stamped Basic White mat to the front of the card.
  • Stamp the sentiment onto the 5/8" strip of Basic white cardstock using Black ink. Banner notch both ends using Scissors.
  • Cut approximately 10-12 inches of Baker's Twine and create a random pinwheel design; adhere it to the back of the sentiment strip using a Stampin' Dimensional. Adhere more Dimensionals onto the back of the sentiment strip and adhere the strip to the card front, covering the center where all the branches meet in the center.
  • To finish, add Wink of Stella to the berries if desired.
