Vintage Christmas Kindness

Stamps: Penny Black 'Kindness'. Cardstock: Brocade Blue, Real Red, Basic Grey 'Sugared', Daisy D 'Snowflakes and Holly'. Ink: Bordering Blue, Real Red. Accessories: Rectangle Nestabilities, red satin ribbon, eyelets.

The Midnight Madness Team did it again -- another fun, versatile sketch! I combined the sketch #15 with some of my favorite DPs and one of my copious sentiment stamps to create this Christmas thank you.

Although the paper is officially Christmas themed, I think this card could be used any time of year. My Christmas card stash is full, but my holiday thank you cards are almost non-existent, so I decided to use the next couple months of the Christmas Card Challenge to stock up on those cards.

Thanks for stopping by!

  5. Very nicely done, Jess!! And although I have been commenting on every post, I have definitely been looking. I love those clean and simple Christmas cards below. I still haven't started mine yet, so clean and simple just might be the way for me to go this year to get them all done in time. Besides less layers helps on the postage too. :) Hope you are having a GREAT weekend. Kel
