Holiday Trees

I am not much of a stamper but I got some gorgeous stamps from the American Crafts Kringle and Co. collection and decided I would try and use them for some Christmas cards.  I really liked the tree stamp and as I don't have a lot of options for ink color just tried stamping it in several inks to see how it looked. 

I really loved the colors I ended up using which was totally random and ended up putting them together to make these cards.  I used some Distress Ink from Ranger and Studio G.

I embossed the background of the card with the Swiss Dots folder and cut out the trees using foam tape on the back of two of them to add dimenesion.

 

For the first card I used the Remarks Sticker for the sentiment but as there was only one black one I decided to try and recreate it using the stamp and making it a banner. 

 

I added a coordinating jewel to the top for some bling.  I had so much fun stepping outside my box and doing some stamping for these cards.  I might have to add stamping more often.

 

Thanks for stopping by.
