The Christmas Cheese Mini Christmas Card

 

The Christmas Cheese Mini Christmas Card

Happy almost winter everyone! Winter is starting to set in, here in southeastern Idaho. The air is staying cool and rain and clouds are becoming more and more common. In fact a couple of areas have already gotten some snow! Our Family absolutely loves Winter and Christmas Time and we have been inspired to create a few cards representing Christmas! 

Inspired by my new Lawn Fawn Cheesy Christmas stamp, stencil and die set, this week I decided to make a fun mini Christmas card featuring Lawn Fawn, Trinity Stamps, and Tim Holtz products. 

I absolutely adored this stamp set! How could you not? Adorable Mice and a cheese Christmas tree... to perfect!

I also created a video - you can view the full video on YouTube - or a snippet on my Instagram page or I posted the video at the end of this post ---> keep on scrolling to view!

Here is the Card:


I used:

  • Simon Says Stamp Black and Kale ink stamp pad
  • Brown and white Cardstock
  • Tim Holtz watercolor pencils
  • Tim Holtz Fossilized Amber Spritz
  • Tim Holtz Distress sprays - various colors
  • Lawn Fawn Candy Cane Lane Designer paper
  • Lawn Fawn Cheesy Christmas Stamp set with coordinating dies and stencils.
  • Trinity Stamps Cheesy background stencil

















Here is the full video:


 ......and that's it!
