Nothing says Christmas like a hand-stamped card, especially if that card was designed by a friend. Today I am sharing three more cards from my Shoebox swap and yes, they were all designed to get you in the Christmas spirit. If you are like me, that won’t take much, but I do so enjoy decorating for fall, Halloween, and Thanksgiving too!

My first card was created by Marilyn Jones and she used the new Night Divine stamp set and the Stars at Night Dies pictured on page 16 and 17 in the Holiday mini catalog. Thanks Marilyn for sharing your talent.

Our second Christmas inspirations comes to you from Ornetta Williams. Ornetta used the new Merriest Tress Bundle featured on page 12 in the Holiday mini catalog. Thanks Ornetta!

Finally our last card was created by Cheryl Gerloff and she used the Joy of Noel Bundle found on page 29 in the Holiday mini. Thanks ladies for sharing your projects with us. I do hope these cards inspire you to create something beautiful for the holidays.

Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Happy Friday! Today’s card was created with the new Rustic Crate Bundle featured in the Holiday mini catalog. I decided on the poinsettias and used Cherry Cobbler and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends to color them. The crate was cut with Early Espresso cardstock and the accent pieces with Smoky Slate.

I noticed that the greeting did not stamp as crisp as I would like. Of course I noticed this after I put the card together, but if this ever happens to you there might be residual oils from manufacturing on the stamp, especially the photopolymer ones. Not to worry, because the super simple remedy is to use an eraser over the entire stamp and clean if off with a damp cloth or a baby wipe (no alcohol of course).

Here is a closer look of one stamped after I used the eraser technique. You be the judge! Happy Stamping!
