Christmas Card - Stampin' Up! "Festive Flurry" & "Snowflake Soiree" on acrlyic block background

Festive Flurry (WM 131778 / CM131781) and Snowflake Soiree (WM 127922 / CM127925) are gorgeous Stampin' Up! snow flake stamp sets that are purrrfect on an acrylic block background. So purrrfect, I made 25 sets of 4 in less than 2 hrs.

This is one set in Marina Mist and Midnight Muse...

The sets of 4 were all of the same colour - in this case Marina Mist acrylic block background and the images are stamped in Midnight Muse.
This is another set in Pool Party and Costal Cabana - am LOVING that new Stampin' Up! colour!...
This set was stamped in Costal Cabana, the block in Pool Party
To create the background is so easy, simply get your acrylic block or similar, use it as a stamp and ink it on your ink pad, then stamp it on your paper but leave the block on for a second or two so the ink can be absorbed by the paper.  Since this was such a production line, yes some of the block stamping did get a little crooked, adds to the hand stamped theme...

If you had the time you could emboss the images, for that touchy feely effect but since I made 100 of these, stamping was the way to go...

Snowflake Soiree is a finer snowflake by Stampin' Up!  
Greeting is from the set Greetings of the Season (WM128030/CM128033)


Then I added a little bling with Stampin' Up! Rhinestones on the snowflakes from the set Snowflake Soiree...

The rhinestones looked great on the snowflakes from the set "festive flurry" as well...

A very simply created card, yet I enjoyed making them, was very pleased with the outcome and loved giving them away...  I hope you enjoyed your Christmas however you celebrate.
