Joyful Christmas Sampler

Morning all!

I'm back with another festive card project, this time using the lovely Christmas Sampler stencils from The Greetery.

The Christmas Sampler stencils have a total of 6 steps to create the full background which includes trees, birds, baubles, and a little house. However, you can skip some of the elements and mask them off to pick out the designs you want to feature.

I started out by grabbing a panel of light grey cardstock to use as the "fabric" for my sampler.

I kept the colour palette minimal with a sage green, darker green, light grey, and light brown – I just needed something to allow my sentiment to pop against a subtle background.

I also wanted to include some texture paste for the snowflake elements and fair isle border to add a little wintry detail, and I added additional snowy details with a white pen.

For my sentiments, I pulled out the Written in Ribbons Holiday stamps and coordinating dies. I love the hand-lettered look of these sentiments and how you can create different phrases with the stand-out words.

For festive pop, I used two tones of red to stamp the "Joy" sentiment.

The smaller greetings also fit on the PreText Banners dies, or you can simply stamp directly onto your card, or mix it up like I did!

Before assembling everything, I cut the sampler background down to size so that it would fit inside the largest of the Zig Zag Rectangle dies from Lawn Fawn (currently in the Bargain Basement - so once they're gone, they're gone!). The zigzag edge goes so well with the stitching theme.

The panel really stands out nicely against the jade card base.

Until next time, happy crafting!
