One Stamp Two Cards and Gift Ideas for the Card Maker

Happy Sunday! I'm sharing two easy to recreate Christmas cards today using the same stamp as the focal point. The stamp I used is new this season but I used it before recently on this card. I love this delicate line art! 

At the end of this post I'm also sharing gift ideas for card makers, these are either things I have and love or would love to get.

Both times I stamped with Versafine Onyx ink and colored with my Zig Clean Color brush pens and a Zig Detailer brush. The stamp is called Birdhouse Blessings from Penny Black's Season of Hope release. You can see more from this release HERE (just be sure to select "newest" in the dropdown menu on the right side).


On the card above I adhered the image panel to a simple patterned paper (old, from my stash) and stamped the sentiment from the Penny Black set Holiday Snippets. I finished off by brushing clear Wink of Stella over the bird house roof and the star. Then mounted onto a white card base.

Like on the card above, I stamped with Versafine Onyx and colored with Zig Clean Color markers. The Christmas words border was done with Penny Black's background stamp Christmas Story, also stamped with Versafine Onyx ink. I tied some Jute twine around the card, brushed Wink of Stella glitter over the birdhouse roof and star then adhered to a green cardstock base.



Gift Ideas for the Card Maker

Since I shared a Gift Idea post for teens (here), I thought it's just appropriate to share one for card makers as well, maybe you want to treat yourself to some new goodies or maybe you know a card maker who would love these. These are all items I either have and love or wish I had.
