dec-card-kit-600-high-res1

Nothing says Christmas more than the Merry and Bright Kit card kit. We’ve included the Simon Says Stamp clear stamp set “Merry and Bright”, 12 double sided 6×6 papers from Doodlebug “Here Comes Santa”, 1 pack of Candy Cane stickers from Doodlebug, 1 pack of pop out stickers from Doodlebug “Dear Santa”, Simon Says Stamp Schoolhouse V Flap envelope and 1 Simon Says Stamp Mini Gift card envelope in white, Simon Says Stamp cardstock in Surf Blue, Schoolhouse Red, Green Apple, 120# White, and Vellum.

And, if that’s not enough, we’re also including something really special…a Chibitronics beginner light kit!! Have you tried them yet?

I used the tree from the stamp set as my main focal point, colored it with topics and created a mask so I could ink a shadow around it.

I used the Chibitronics beginner kit to add a light behind the star. I followed the directions and found it really easy to do!

Wanda created a delightful card using the Doodlebug stickers, pattern paper and the curved banner from the stamp set.

Yana utilized the pattern papers by cutting out portions and adding them together with the Mini Gift card envelope.

I created a card that is easy to produce several at a time. I’ve mixed a variety of patterns that all come together without being too overwhelming.
