STAMPlorations Classic Christmas

STAMPlorations has released another awesome stamp and ephemera combination – STAMPlorations Perfect Pairs – Classic Christmas.

If you follow me at all, you know I make Christmas all year long, so I can get them into the mail and delivered to my large work team in December, so I was thrilled.

I really love how they paired with the STAMPlorations Analog Grunge Collage Papers.

I have always loved designer papers that you can stamp on … and I love how this one looks with the definition stamp randomly all over.

Next I added three of the gorgeous STAMPlorations Christmas Classic Ephemera pieces. I hate the taste of anise, but I do love how an anise seed looks, especially for the holidays. The patina on the bells and the rust on the lap add such a marvelous rustic touch.

I used foam tape for the bells and lantern and finished by stamping the STAMPlorations Classic Christmas sentiment on a scrap of the same collage paper and attaching it with foam tape as well.

I’m linking-up at the Any Occasion Challenge at Addicted to Stamps & More.

For the next card, I used the STAMPlorations Christmas Slimline Card Front. Since there were a few ornaments in the design, I paired it with the gorgeously aged silvery glass ornaments ephemera from STAMPlorations Classic Christmas.

I added silver pearls to bring more silver into the overall design and finished with the STAMPlorations Classic Christmas sentiment stamped on ivory card stock. Both the ornaments and sentiments were attached with foam tape.

If you’d like to get a headstart on your Christmas cards, the STAMPlorations Perfect Pairs – Classic Christmas is a great way to do it.
