CFS: Baby's First Christmas Card

 
http://cas-ualfridaysstamps.blogspot.com/

Hi Folks! Today we're revealing Sleigh Bells and Bell Tag, a Christmas stamp AND die set for CAS-ual Fridays Stamps. Such a fun one! I adore the sleigh bell and die, and all the little sentiments you can fit onto it.



The sleigh bells are embossed in white, die cut, and then given a wash of watercolor. I started at the bottom of each bell and gave it more shading there. I'm so excited with the sentiments in this set ... out of all my stamps, this is the first and only "First Christmas" stamp I own.


The bells are strung on gold thread with tiny gold stars in between. I put foam tape behind the darker bells so they fall in front of the green bells.


The double sided paper is American Crafts, and the punches used on the white strips in front are Martha Stewart.

  2. What a sweet Christmas card, I love those soft aquas with the gold, and while I'm not usually a punch person, I just love the tone on tone white here.
