Same background…2 different cards.

This just goes to show you…the possibilities are endless. No wonder I have crafting stress! haha.

I used Distress Oxide Inks to make the backgrounds for these Slimline Christmas Cards. Now, ink blending is NOT my speciality so I like to hide it with other elements – like shaker bits and snow.

The top card features a BLIZZARD!  I wanted to use the cute stamp set by Hero Arts – Happy Autumn Forest (I saw a cabin in the woods in snow!) and my Snow Tex.  And, yes, I did use a lot of Snow Tex!

The top slimline Christmas card is a shaker card. I used Simon Says Stamp – Holiday Sparkle stamps and dies.  I love how this card came out.

I also made custom envelopes for each card using the Trinity Stamps Slimline Envelope Builder die set.

There is a video, supplies list and photos…enjoy!
