Welcome to week three of the Heart Of Christmas Blog Hop!
Tonight I’m using a beautiful stamp set that really does all the work for you when making Christmas cards – the “Peace to You” stamp set.
I love this style of stamp as all you have to do is ink up your stamp, add a sentiment and you’ve made a gorgeous card.
It’s the perfect stamp for mass production, however I would recommend using a Stamparatus to ensure that lovely inky dark sky is evenly stamped up.
I die cut the stamped image out using the 3rd largest stitched rectangle die which adds a slim white border to the stamped layer.
The card base and matching envelope is one of the new Kraft Note Cards and envelopes (page 137 of the Annual Catalogue). These are a great versatile and neutral background layer for any colour!
The “Silent Night, Holy Night” sentiment is die cut with another stitched rectangle die and layered onto a piece of Natural Finish ribbon which I frayed at the ends.
The FREE SALE-a-bration Tree Lot Dies have a die that cuts 3 tiny stars – I’ve used this die to die cut silver foil stars for the tops of the trees. Isn’t the detail in these tiny stars just gorgeous!
I’ve also added a few silver stars to the inside of the card too. The “Peace to you at Christmas” is another sentiment from the “Peace For you” stamp set and it’s a sentiment that is particularly pertinent for the world right now.
Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Christine Blain – I can’t wait to see what Christine has made this week!

Oh I love this so much. This is fast becoming my favourite stamp set this year! This is such an elegant card you have created! Love the stars and then sentiment over the ribbon. Perfect!
Loving what you have done here with this stamp set to create a stunning card!
Beautiful Cathy, that dark sky with the snow falling is so pretty, but I love the frayed edges on your Natural Finish Ribbon, looks amazing!
Such a beautifully elegant card Cathy. Love the fraying of the ribbon and yes those stars are just too cute.
This is such a gorgeous card! Elegant and classic in it’s simplicity and colour. Beautiful stamping technique to get such a great image too. Totally agree on your choice for sentiment too.
Cathy I love how the rectangle die cut results in a small white border around the stamped image. I hadn’t noticed (used) the stars from the Tree Lot die set but agree they look beautiful.
Beautiful card Cathy, I love Night of Navy with Crumb Cake and the tiny stars on the trees are perfect
Wow, Cathy – this is such a beautiful card. I am blown away by how beautifully that main image stamps … and it looks so good, cut with a Stitched Rectangle Die. All of the touches on your card are lovely (yes, those stars are gorgeous!), and you have composed them all to perfection.
I love everything about this card! The blue stamping looks amazing, and the layering is fabulous. The silver foil stars are awesome.
Those starts are a lovely finishing touch Cathy, and what a perfect fit the Stitched Rectangle die is – go you! Just lovely!
