It is a So Very Merry July! I have a Christmas card to share because I could not wait to try this new Online Exclusive stamp set. It is a bit different from the normal sets.
Stamp set
The So Very Merry is a new Christmas set that is now available in the Online Exclusives part of the Online Store. Some people seem to have some difficulty getting there though. When you are in the store, click on Shop Products, and then scroll down and you will see Online Exclusives in the options.
This set has the stamp I have used of Santa, plus an angel in a circle, a gingerbread house, and various extras with sentiments. I personally love the stained glass look. My Santa scene is stamped and embossed with Black Embossing Powder prior to coloring with Stampin’ Blends. And best of all…..the circle fits perfectly to the 2 3/8 Circle Punch! (The photo is not great as I was trying to show details and it was either too dark or too light!)
Colors
The colors for this card were decided after I finished coloring Santa. I knew it would be a simple layout so did not worry about matching DSP or anything like that. I chose Real Red for Santa, so that is the card base. The layer is Boho Blue due to the sky, and the embossed layer is Wild Wheat because of Santa’s toy sack.
Embellishments
To add some detail to a simple layout I went with the Basics 3D set of Embossing Folders. These are also in the Online Exclusives. There are three folders with different designs. This one is by far my favorite! And it definitely adds the texture my card needed. To ground the Santa image, I added a strip of the Boho Blue across the panel. And finished with a trio of the Classic Matte Dots. This is a very minimalistic card from me! LOL!!
