O Christmas Tree

 

Hello friends!

Ericka here from Strangely Creative, and I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with family, food, and gratitude. Now that it’s Friday, I hope you’re indulging in some Black Friday shopping (hello, crafty deals!) or maybe just relaxing with some creative time.

Today, I’m sharing a festive card featuring the O Christmas Tree stamp by Kate Crane for Carabelle Studio. While it’s bittersweet that Carabelle Studio closed its doors this year, there are still plenty of their incredible stamp sets available in the store. This one in particular is a gem that offers endless creative possibilities.

I started by stamping the O Christmas Tree image on watercolor paper and heat embossing it in white. This technique not only adds texture but also creates a resist effect that’s perfect for vibrant backgrounds.

 

For the background, I reached for my trusty Lavinia Acrylic Sprays and Mystical Mists. The colors blend effortlessly, creating a dreamy, ethereal effect that perfectly complements the whimsical style of the stamp. I layered shades to build depth, letting the sprays do most of the work—simple and stunning!

 

To finish the card, I added a touch of white hand lettering to balance the composition and tie everything together. It’s always satisfying to add a personal touch like this, especially during the holiday season.

And just like that, one more Christmas card is complete and ready to spread some holiday cheer. This project reminded me of how versatile a single stamp can be when paired with the right techniques and materials. Thank you for stopping by today! Whether you’re shopping, crafting, or simply enjoying a quiet moment, I hope your weekend is filled with joy and creativity. And don’t forget to grab those Carabelle Studio stamps before they’re gone!

Happy crafting!
