Most wonderful time

Hello crafty friends, it's Kerstin here!

it's release week and I have an elegant christmas card to share. I played with some of the new products that are available friday 19th. 

Let's have a look!






 

 

 

Usually I'm using green and red for my christmas cards. But this time I wanted to use non traditional neutral colors to create something more classy. 

  

 





  • stamp the sentiment in the middle of the panel
  • cut out the panel with one of the scalloped rectangles
  • die cut a lot of stars in different shapes, sizes and colors (you might not see it but the black stars are from black glitter cardstock)
  • adhere the stars lose around the sentiment
  • adhere the panel to your card

 



   


Available november 19th
Most wonderful time
Cool Cuts Stars



 



We love to see your creations. Please use the hashtag #createasmilestamps when you're sharing your projects on instagram.

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting,
Kerstin
