March Christmas Card Club

This month’s Christmas Card Club card was inspired by the girls over at Jingle Belles.  

While their “Hark the Hearald Angels Sing” challenge is over, I was inspired to use a beautiful musical notes background stamp from Impression Obsession.  The main image is from Stampendous – colored with copic markers.  The card is vintaged up with distress inks and glitzed up with some loose glitter, Nuvo drops and prills from US ArtQuest.

Thanks for stopping by!

Nature’s Noel: NEW Holiday Jumpstart Kit

Holiday Jumpstart: Nature’s Noel is Paper Anthology’s newest holiday card kit, which features Stampendous’ beautiful flowers, vases and chickadees pre-stamped for you to color.

Paper Anthology’s Holiday Jumpstart Card Kit is our pre-packaged kit that includes everything you need (except coloring media and adhesive) to complete FIVE copies of this new original holiday card design. This edition is called “Nature’s Noel” based on the card’s beautiful florals and the coordinating sentiment.

Don’t we all adore the IDEA of making holiday cards throughout the year, instead being overloaded in November and December? But sometimes it’s hard to be inspired during the “off-season”. This pre-packaged kit features everything you need (except coloring media and adhesive) to complete five beautiful, detailed and colorful cards, including complete written instructions (not pictured, but included!) and a nice big photo for reference.

(Please note that the images in the kit were stamped with Ranger’s Jet Black Archival ink, which is an alcohol-based ink formula. Thus, it’s recommended to color with water-based markers or colored pencils, or BOTH! Using alcohol-ink markers like Copics or Spectrum Noir may result in the black stamped images smearing.)

This kit contains:

Five pre-stamped vases for you to color
Five pre-stamped flower clusters for you to color
Five pre-stamped chickadees for you to color
Five pre-diecut scalloped lacy patterned paper mats
Five pre-diecut green “Noel” sentiments
Complete step-by-step instruction sheet with large color photo
Coloring key listing Tombow Dual Bush Pen shades used in samples
Five grocer’s kraft A2 cards
