Blue Christmas

#stampinup   #faithfulinkspirations   Sometimes clean and simple is just the ticket. Take this card, for example.  It uses plenty of white space and just one color--Blueberry Bushel. I think it's stunning. We made this card at the Christmas card sampler gathering of the Proverbial Stampers & Friends.

We started by stamping the larger ornament from the "Christmas Gleaming" stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink onto Whisper White Card Stock and punched it out with the matching Gleaming Ornaments Punch. We cut a Stitched Nested Label from Whisper White Card Stock and stamped the "Merry Christmas" greeting in Blueberry Bushel Ink onto the end. We adhered that to a just-larger Stitched Nested Label cut from Blueberry Bushel Card Stock.

To build the card, we started with a Thick Whisper White Card Stock card base, added a 4" by 5-1/4" Blueberry Bushel mat (PROTIP: Cut your Blueberry Bushel Stitched Nested Label from the center of this piece), and then a 3-3/4" by 4" Whisper White Card Stock Panel. We adhered a 2" by 3-3/4" strip of the ever so pretty Noble Peacock Specialty Designer Series Paper to the Whisper White Panel and then adhered the Stitched Nested Labels on top.

We adhered the ornament with Stampin' Dimensionals and a sweet Whisper White Baker's Twine Bow was added using a Mini Glue Dot. So cute!
