Humble Home Merry Christmas card

Naughty & Nice Fun Fold pocket gift card holder

For my card today, I'm using Naughty and Nice from the Online Exclusives section of my Stampin' Up! online store.  When I started, I wanted a card that was more than a card, yet still quick and simple to put together.  This card came about from a tag I made.  I showed that tag to my oldest granddaughter, who exclaimed Santa tags!  Well, that meant I couldn't very well show how to make the exact card so......I thought about how to change the tag and make a card with it....this is the result of my thought process.  I hope you find it useful.  Of course, you can change this layout to fit any occasion just by changing the stamps and colors.

Shepherd's Care Peace on Earth sentiment card with a twist

 Hello everyone.  This week I am not featuring any specific product.  I've been in a bit of a creative slump, so I'm just going where my creativity takes me with whatever products I happen to be inspired by.  Today's card features Shepherd's Care from the SD 2024 mini catalog by Stampin' Up!

For my card, I wanted the Shepherd's stamp to be the star of the show.  I also wanted to make a card that I could quickly and easily duplicate.  Of course, the quick and simple never seems to be quite within my grasp....I just can't stop and so the sentiment label came about here.  I didn't want to alter to the label die cut to fit my sentiment and when I put it on the card, the idea came to me to stamp a partial image to the left of the sentiment so it would look as if it's part of the scene.  I hope you like this technique as I'll probably be using it more often.  

To see how I made this card and the special way I did the sentiment label to blend in with the scene, be sure to watch the video replay over on my YouTube channel.

Supplies and Measurements:

Shepherd's Care stamp set 164300

Changing Leaves dies 164138 (for sentiment label)
