Vintage Postal Christmas Cards

Hi everyone!  So happy to welcome you to a new post here on the Spellbinders blog.  I’m Pam Sparks, cardmaker, blogger and instagram creator.  Today I’m sharing three cards I made with the new Simon Hurley Christmas Collection. Vintage Postal Christmas Cards, HUR86697, BD-0887 My first card uses images from the Sketched Santas and Sketched Christmas stamp and die sets. I had fun stamping and coloring on kraft color cardstock with color pencils.  I kept it pretty simple…inking, some die cutting and layering for A2 size cards. Vintage Postal Christmas Cards, HUR86697, BD-0887 My second card I had the idea to go ‘postal’ and make a faux postcard design using the Sketched Snowmen stamp and die sets. Vintage Postal Christmas Cards, HUR86703, BD-0888 I stamped and heat-embossed two of the sentiments from the set and one of the smaller snowflakes for the faux postage stamp. I die-cut the kraft panel with the largest Nested Postage Labels and Tag die and the faux postage with the smallest dies in the set. I randomly stamped some of the snowflakes from the stamp set directly on the postage die-cut panel in white pigment ink.  A little white color pencil scribbled on to ground the snowman. Vintage Postal Christmas Cards, HUR86703, BD-0888 My third and last card I used images from the Sketched Christmas set.  It was hard to decide what images to use because there are so many fantastic images in these sets! Vintage Postal Christmas Cards, HUR86680, BD-0889 I stamped, colored and die cut a panel using the Labels 8 die set.  The pine branches, ornament, and candy cane are from the Sketched Santas stamp and die set. I LOVE how all three of these sets work together perfectly!  So many combinations and ideas for a variety of darling cards! Vintage Postal Christmas Cards, HUR86680, BD-0889 I hope you enjoyed my old-fashioned looking Christmas cards.  They were fun to make.  Be sure to check out what the other Spellbinders card designers have made with these sets also!
