The Yuletide Village stamp set is one that I really debated on purchasing. Then I saw the potential for quick and easy cards and was sold. This set is beautiful and can be used in a very detailed card as well.
STAMPS
The stamp I chose to use from the Yuletide Village set is this small cottage. I thought it would be a sweet little cabin in the woods. With the way the image is layered and the DSP I left off a sentiment for the front of the card. Plus the stamp set does not include any sentiments.
This image is stamped using Basic Gray Ink and then colored using Stampin’ Blends. The snow is Pool Party Ink and Stampin’ Blends. All of the Stampin’ Blends colors are listed in the supply list.
PAPERS
This gorgeous sheet of DSP is from the Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper. I believe it is now sold out from the Last Chance List. Sorry to have used something no longer available.. I made a lot of Christmas cards for this last week not realizing the list would come out as early as it did.
The pine limbs and needles of this paper inspired everything else. It completed my vision of a little scene to peer at. So the layer behind the cottage is Pecan Pie and was pulled from the limb. To add to the pop of White, both the focal layer and the little snow flakes in the DSP, I added a thin layer of Basic White between the DSP and the Pretty Peacock card stock.
EXTRAS
The “scene” layers are cut using the Stylish Shapes Dies. Sadly they are on the Last Chance List as well. These are fabulous Dies to have in your stash. To complete the snow and sparkle, I added a scattering of Pearls around the card for my bling.
