Christmas… A Tad Early
hehehe! I can’t help it! I know I’m super early with a Christmas card, but when all of these amazing stamp companies start releasing all of the new Christmas goodness I just have to play!!! It’s Lisa here, btw, and today I’m having fun with the new Avery Elle Stamp Set called Winter Woodland Wonders.
See the cuteness?! How could I resist? To create this card I started by stamping the birch trees on my panel as a background. I then added the sentiment and ornament. On a separate piece of cardstock I stamped the ornament a second time along with 5 holly and that adorable bear. I knew that I wanted my bear to be in the foreground of my card so I die cut the hill and added Nuvo Glimmer paste in Moonstone with my finger and set it off to dry. I went back to my stamped images and colored them in with my Spectrum Noir Illustrator Markers.
Once everything was colored I cut out the bear, the bottom part of the ornament and the holly to adhere to my card. The snowy hill was added to the bottom front with foam adhesive tape. I then went back and added some light blue snowflakes to the background. After the stamped panel was complete I layered it onto some striped patterned paper from Lawn Fawn.
Thanks so much for stopping by today, and I hope you’ve had a chance to check out our latest challenge for your chance to win a Nuvo Goody Pack!
Happy Crafting!

What a pretty card! I love the simplicity of it. But I also appreciate the fine details in it … like the shimmering snowy hill and the little blue snowflakes. And that bear is just adorable!

It’s never too early to do a Christmas card…that way you will have some made when it’s time to mail. 😉 I adore your card with the pretty new Avery Elle set. I have a weakness for polar bear stamps. (Who am I kidding…I have a weakness for stamps…period!) 😉 Good job!!!!
