I'm calling today's card a mash up because I used 3 different stamp sets to bring this idea to paper. It all started with the color combination: Blueberry Bushel, Shy Shamrock, Strawberry Slush and Timid Tiger. I was thinking about non-traditional Christmas colors and was trying different combos to find something fresh to play around with and ended up not with a Christmas card but a birthday one. There are presents though, so there's that at least!
Using Blueberry Bushel ink I inked up the notepaper line stamp from the Just A Note stamp set and stamped it off once for a lighter look. Then I used the notepaper die and cut the paper out. A few stars are stamped towards the top.
Next I used the A Little Cheer Stamp set and stamped the adorable little presents in the colors and then fussy cut them. They are popped on dimensionals in a nice line.
And for the the 3rd stamp set on the card I embossed the Simply Said sentiment in white onto a Blueberry Bushel Stylish Shape die cut circle. I popped it up on dimensionals and then embellished a bit. The clip die from Just A Note and some silver foil cardstock make for a nice shiny accent. I tied a bit of retired thick twine through the hole.
Finally a few retired Sunday Day Iridescent Dots add a bit of sparkle to this mash up card. I may have to go back and make this one over in true Christmas colors and try these colors on a Christmas card! What set do you think would work with these colors??
Thanks for looking! Did you stamp today?
