Christmas Card for July 2025

I've had a busy month!  Earlier this month I presented a masking technique at a demonstrator event in Appleton, Wisconsin.  I used that technique on this card, around my sentiment.

I created masks from 2 of the Unbounded Love dies.  I used a small blending brush to add varying depths of Night of Navy and Misty Moonlight inks around the sentiment with the 2 masks, using both positive and negative masks.

My other technique was to stamp on Designer Series Paper (DSP) instead of cardstock.  I really need to do that more often.  Do you stamp on DSP often?

The stamp set I used is Shepherd's Care that carried over and is an Online Exclusive now, and the DSP is from the Peaceful Garden suite, that will be in the September - December 2025 Mini Catalog.  The gold glimmer paper I used for the star is retired. but you could use gold foil instead.

Have you started making your Christmas cards yet?  I have a few from these monthly posts and a few other times I've used Christmas paper in my samples.

Happy Stampin'!
