Project Details

One of my challenges in making Christmas cards is that I tend to make them too complicated to replicate quickly and too bulky to mail efficiently. . .so I've tried to strike a balance with these two examples. They both start with a main panel where the image is stamped multiple times with various techniques to give the impression of layers without the bulk. One is stamped on glossy photo paper using VersaMark and then rubbing on Ranger Distress ink, followed by stamping in various colors.

Press On. . .

Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. 
Philippians 3:12-14

Hey Chickie. . .

I always thank God for you. . .1 Corinthians 1:4

Just for fun and for a friend. . .

I needed to make a quick and fun thank you card for a friend. . .and this bright and cheery set from Layers of Color came to mind. Although Layers of Color is no longer offering stamps, Laura Kirste Campbell, is still designing and you can find her beautiful work at craft stores throughout the country. Look for the Penny Black line. You can see some of the lovely sets available by visiting Laura's website.  Another gifted (and former LOC) designer Nina Brackett (NinaB Designs), also designs products for Penny Black.
