Hello everyone! Today I´m stopping by to share another new product release at STAMPlorations called STAMPcuts. There are two sets of retro-styled words currently in this collection. One is Retro Christmas and the other one is Retro Gratitude.

For these three cards I´ve used the Retro Christmas STAMPcuts set. On the above card I first adhered a patterned paper as a background to the white card base and then adhered the pine cone image (ephemera piece from the Perfect Pairs Serene Winter set) as a focal point. Next I adhered the word Joy from the Retro Christmas set next to the previous image and then took some Christmas themed tiny text stickers out and added one to the card.

For the next two cards I again used a patterned paper as a background, but I also inked the edged with Distress Oxide Ink in Ground Espresso to add some depth to the backgrounds. Next I used some Victorian Scraps with the Retro Christmas words as a focal point and again added some tiny text Christmas themed word stickers to the cards. I also added some outlining to each card with a brown pen for additional detail.

I really like how these cards turned out and they were so very easy to make, too. Just some patterned paper as a background and the STAMPcuts as focal point with just a few additional embellishments. I also love the retro look of the words!

Hope I could inspire you to make some Christmas cards today!
