Love to color and looking for a fun design that will really make an impact? These adorable Christmas Inchies are just what you’ve been looking for!
Today we are sharing some Christmas joy with not one, but two fun cards! Shelly has busted out our beloved holiday stamp set, 3332 Christmas Inches stamp set. This is an oldie, but a goodie, as these little guys are SO FUN to color up. Set against a crisp white postage background, Shelly has created two holiday cards using adorable Christmas characters, and we just know this will inspire you to get into holiday mode in your craft room today.
- Start with using the 3332 Christmas Inches stamp set.
- Stamp all the images onto marker friendly white cardstock/paper. (2x)
- Color images in using alcohol markers.
- Use the 3332D Christmas Inches coordinating dies with the colored images.
- Using a white gel pen or paint pen, add highlights to the images.
- Set aside.
- Using the 5851D Postage Stamp Cover die, place dies (adhere the dies with tape) on a white piece of cardstock.
- Run the dies through a die cutting machine and then remove dies. (2x)
- Cut one of the ‘postage stamp’ die cut panels to fit an A2 size card. (set the other die cut panel aside.)
- Using the inside (rectangles and squares) die cut pieces of the postage die, adhere the images onto each piece, cut any overhang/access off.
- Add pieces into the postage frame.
- Use foam tape on the back to adhere things to an A2 white card base.
- Set aside.
- Using the 5826-03D JOY Vertical & Horizontal die, die cut JOY using red cardstock. (2x)
- Add highlights using a white gel or paint pen.
- Set aside.
- Using the 38038 Christmas Mini Sayings stamp set, stamp sentiment onto white cardstock using black ink.
- Take the 5937D Skinny Strips dies and use with the stamped sentiment.
- Trim ends to be smaller.
- Add the JOY and sentiment strip to the card using foam tape on the back.
**Bonus card!**
- Using the extra colored die cut pieces and the second postage die cut panel, follow the same steps as above. But simply cut the postage panel smaller than before and leave off adding a sentiment underneath the JOY.
