I’ve spent so much time using new Christmas products that I almost forgot about the Toile Christmas Stamp Set and Christmas Cardinal Dies in the Annual Catalog. This cardinal is so beautiful!
Watch the video to see all the products I used, how I colored and cut out the pieces to create this card.
The Toile Christmas Stamp Set has everything you need for stamping this card. Great images and beautiful sentiments. I used a piece of Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper for the background layer.
These are the Stampin’ Blend's that I used to color the cardinal and the branch with the berries. I love coloring with these blends.
