Christmas Home & Victorian Christmas House Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi popping in to share some holiday cards featuring our Christmas Home Stamps and Victorian Christmas Stamps.

My first card combines the house from the Victorian Christmas Stamps with the house, car, tree, snowman, lamp post, and sentiments from the Christmas Home Stamps. I started by adding a multi-colored strip of patterned paper to the bottom of my card using a print from the Joyful Holiday Paper pack. I then added a 4-1/4" wide x 4-7/8" high white cardstock panel to the top of my card that had stitching added to the bottom edge using a die from the Ribbon & Lace Border Dies. Before stamping my greeting, I inked below it with some Tumbled Glass Distress ink to maintain the feeling of a 2x2 grid.

I created an evening scene for my second card using the house, fence, and trees from the Christmas Home Stamps. To frame the scene and give myself a place for a night sky, I inked up our Stitched Semi-Circle Dies with Mermaid Lagoon, Salty Ocean, and Prize Ribbon Distress Inks. I then stamped Santa in his sleigh with his reindeer flying through the sky in a black silhouette using the Here Comes Santa Stamps. 

I used my white gel pen to add snowflake dots to the background and then curved my sentiment from the Christmas Home Stamps to match the curve along the top of my semi-circle. Curving your sentiments is easy to do when placing a piece of acetate over your card in MISTI tool. It gives you a slick surface to adhere the stamps to and the freedom to visually position the stamps exactly where you want them on your card. You can then close your lid to pick up the images and set the acetate aside for next time. I use clear acetate so much with my stamping that I always store a trimmed sheet with my stamp positioning tool. 

That wraps up my projects for today. Thanks so much for hanging out with me. I hope I've inspired you to spread a little happiness by sending out a card to someone you love. 💛
