Hi, I’m popping in on a Sunday with some Christmas card inspiration. For today’s tutorial, I reach for the Spa collection of inks – Sea Glass and Bay Breeze. The Wrapped and Ready stamp set contains my favourite Christmas tree stamp and I use it to hide a message on this Christmas card. I also make matching gift tag with the same stamp set and same tag die set. And because it’s Christmas, I add glitter heat embossed baubles to the tree.
Watch the video tutorial below, and read on for the written tutorial. Head to the shop for all these great card making supplies. (There is currently a flash sale on all Christmas items – December 2021).
