Holiday Card Series 2017 – Day 12 – Simple Stamping

Happy Monday! Today is Day 12 of the Holiday Card Series for 2017. For those who are are new to my blog and videos, the Holiday Card Series consists of 25 holiday card inspiration videos. I’ll be sharing holiday inspiration every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday until December 20.

(Wondering what I used in this video? Everything is linked to multiple sources in the thumbnails at the end of this post, or in the text below. Compensated affiliate links used when possible).

For today’s card, I thought I would create a clean card design using some simple stamping. I used the Majestic Mistletoe stamp set from Altenew and various Altenew inks in two color palettes: Red Sunset and Green Fields Mini Ink Cube sets, and Sea Shore and Cherry Blossom Mini Ink Cube sets. I stamped the images on Neenah Desert Storm cardstock for something a bit different.

After stamping the mistletoe, I stamped and white heat embossed some of the words from the stamp set. I also drew white dashed lines with a white gel pen to “anchor” the greeting.

NOTE: I know mistletoe berries are white. I just “painted” mine like the Red Queen paints her roses red in Alice in Wonderland. lol! If you can’t change up nature on a card, when can you? ;)

I hope you enjoy today’s cards! These would be very easy to duplicate over and over for many holiday cards. :)
