Merry Christmas & Happy Wishes

Welcome to the Ink Stamp Share Christmas themed blog hop. Today’s card is made with the North Pole Delivery Specialty paper, the Jolly Delivery Stamp set and the Ornamental Christmas stamp set for the trees.

The best part of this card is the ease of making it. The houses are die cuts in the specialty paper pack. I am so glad they did not need coloring.

The Pool Party polka dots background paper is from that pack of paper, too. A couple of trees stamped in Garden Green make the perfect setting for the houses.

Instructions for Merry Christmas & Happy Wishes Stamp Set

Cut a Poppy Parade card base 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ and score at 4 1/4″.
On a 3 3/4″ x 5″ piece of Poppy Parade dotted DSP, stamp three trees in Garden Green.
Adhere this to a 5 1/4″ x 4″ piece of Basic White and adhere the layers to the front of the card base.
Use dimensionals to pop up two houses in between the trees.
Stamp the sentiment in Garden Green on a scrap of Pool Party card stock and die cut with a Textured Notes rectangle. Use dimensionals to adhere it to the front.
Add three embellishments from the Dear Dots.
Add a 1/2″ x 4″ piece of polka dotted Pool Party DSP to a 5 1/4″ x 4″ piece of Basic White and adhere to the inside of the card.
