Snowy Christmas Bells

Hello! Christina here to share an elegant holiday card with you featuring the beautiful new stamp set, Christmas Bells. The images in this set are perfect for any holiday card or even for making a set of tags. I added some festive embellishments to my card design for a little extra sparkle and added a new Christmas Banner Greetings to complete this joyful card design. Let’s get started!

I started by stamping the images for my design with an alcohol ink-friendly black ink on white cardstock. I chose the bigger bell image with lots of greenery and some of the smaller holly leaves and pine sprigs. To color the images, I used Copic markers. Here is the coloring guide:

Bells: E41, E43, Y21, Y26, Y28, Y13, B000
Greenery: G24, G46

After coloring, I die-cut the images with the coordinating dies and set them aside while I worked on the remaining elements.

First I created the background panel by stenciling the Candy Cane Stripes with a sage green ink on white cardstock. Then I layered on a Scallop Frame and a Scallop Flag Tags in a coordinating cardstock color. The Scallop Flag provided the perfect place for the focal point of this design, the stamped and colored bell image. I centered the image and attached it with foam squares.

Next I stamped and heat embossed both the word “Merry,” included in the Christmas Bells stamp set, and the banner sentiment. I used a glittery red embossing powder for the “Merry” and die-cut it with the coordinating die. For the Christmas Banner Greetings, I used white embossing powder on more of the sage green cardstock and die-cut it with one of the coordinating dies. I attached both with foam squares and then tucked in some greenery around the banner.

For a frosty winter look, I used a white paint pen to add snowfall across the design, including on the stamped and colored images. For a little dimension and sparkle, I die-cut a bow from glitter cardstock and placed it over the stamped bow and added Cherry Red Pearls over the holly berries. 

Thanks so much for reading about my elegant holiday card featuring the beautiful Christmas Bells stamp set! See you again soon!
