It’s almost the Night Before Christmas! That’s perfect timing for the What Will You Stamp? Challenge Blog to feature the Merry Christmas To All stamp set! This is one of my favorite and most well-used bundles of the season. I absolutely love the font and all the word combinations.
To see all the designers’ projects using this stamp set, click on the graphic above.
I actually created three versions of my project. These cards are money holders for my nephews. I made custom-sized cards measuring 6-1/2″ x 3-1/4″ (perfect for a check), and then I used the Envelope Punch Board to make custom envelopes to match.
I embossed the “Merry” and “Christmas” stamps in white on Cherry Cobbler cardstock, and then cut the words out by hand. Then, I stamped the pretty swirl stamp with Gray Granite ink on Wood Textures designer series paper (DSP). Finally, I stamped the holly leaves with Mossy Meadow ink on Whisper White cardstock and cut those out as well.
Note: This stamp set has a coordinating die set called Merry Christmas Thinlits. While I didn’t use it for these projects, I listed it below under supplies because it’s really a fantastic die set.
To decorate each card, I cut different Alpine Sports dies from Wood Textures DSP. My family will all be gathering together in the mountains over the holidays for some alpine fun, so these decorations are a perfect choice!
For the sled die, I cut it out twice — once out of Wood Textures DSP and again out of Galvanized Metal cardstock — so I could create realistic-looking runners. (I can’t take credit for this great idea, but I love it all the same.)
Instead of a bow, I tied Mossy Meadow Cotton Twine around the Galvanized Button and then frayed the ends for a more masculine look.
On the inside of the cards, I used one of my favorite new tools from the Occasions Catalog — the Rectangle Stitched Framelits!!! Are these just to die for?
