Create Your Own Designer Paper

Heather is hosting this week's Eyelets, Ribbon, Paper...Oh, My Challenge and has asked us to create our own designer paper. I have started this past week to get serious about having all my Christmas cards completed and ready to go by Thanksgiving so you will see quite a few turning up here! Today's card is #6 in my 2010 "designer" collection. I need about 70!

I reached for Ornament & Stars Multi Step Clear Stamps by Kitchen sink Stamps to create this background.

Here is now I stamped the ornaments:

Red - 4 SU Riding Hood Red, 3 SU Riding Hood Red stamped off once, 2 Memento Lady Bug, 1 Memento Lady Bug stamped off once, 5 SU Bravo Burgundy

Blue - 4 SU Bermuda Bay, 3 SU Bermuda Bay, 2 SU Bermuda Bay stamped off once, 1 SU Bashful Blue, 5 SU Handsome Hunter

Yellow - 4 SU Crushed Curry, 3 SU Crushed Curry, 2 SU Crushed Curry stamped off once, 1 SU Crushed Curry stamped off twice, 5 SU More Mustard

Purple - 4 Memento Grape Jelly, 3 Memento Grape Jelly, 2 Memento Grape Jelly stamped off once, 1 Memento Grape Jelly stamped off twice, 5 Versafine Imperial Purple

Stamps: Ornament & Stars Multi Step Clear StampsBells Multi Step Clear Stamps (sentiment), and Pine Trees Multi Step Clear Stamps by Kitchen Sink Stamps

  1. I like this one! It reminds me of the wreath I once made with a styrofoam ring and assorted plastic ornaments from Target. The wonders of hot glue!

  2. This is gorgeous, I just love how you colored these. At this pace you will be done in no time. I am one of those people who end up having to buy Christmas cards because I start so late :)
