Your Christmas countdown continues – it’s 15 weeks today until Christmas Day!
This week’s Christmas card couldn’t be simpler. I’ve used the new Fragrant Forest stamp – a background stamp that’s quite frankly just too gorgeous to cover up!
I’ve stamped this stamp in Mossy Meadow onto Basic White cardstock adding a Mossy Meadow Sentiment label as I love monochromatic cards.
The Fragrant Forest background stamp works with any Christmas sentiment. I’ve stamped and embossed two different sentiments from the Christmas Classics stamp set, however, I can’t decide which one I prefer.
Card one is a smaller sentiment I’ve fussy cut around – I like that this smaller sentiment shows more of the background imagery.
Card two has a larger sentiment, die cut using the rounded square die from the Christmas Classics Dies. I like that the larger sentiment allows room for a bit of bling.
The Adhesive-Backed Glitter Sequins are my favourite embellishment from this catalogue!!!
Which sentiment do you think works best?
Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Sharon Davern. I can’t wait to see what Sharon has made this week.

Cathy I love them both but I do like the larger ‘Peace on Earth’ greeting as it seems to suit the beautiful serene background. I love that you chose to make the background stamp the hero. It really is beautiful and so are your cards.
Beautiful stamping of this background stamp, Cathy. I had overlooked this one in the mini. I love how versatile you’ve shown it to be with the two different sentiments. Gorgeous cards.
Both great cards, Cathy, but anything glittery wins my heart, LOL. This is such a great stamp and looks great in so many of the SU colours.
Such beautiful monochromatic cards Cathy. I have to say I prefer the one with the larger sentiment. And those adhesive backed sequins add a nice touch of bling.
Two beautiful cards with this stunning background stamp Cathy. I prefer the card with the glittery dots and the square greeting, even though it covers more of the beautiful stamped images.
Loving this background stamp of detailed trees and how easy it is to create a card with only one stamp. I think I like the larger sentiment with the adhesive glitter sequins. Lovely cards Cathy!
Oh, lovely! Being a massive fan of the Adhesive Backed Glitter Sequins, I have to vote for the card with the square sentiment label. I love the monochromatic simplicity of your cards, Cath – you’ve showcased this beautiful background stamp perfectly.
