Sweetest Star & A Christmas Theme!
Welcome to Create With Stamping Friends Creatively Simple! Connie and I create simple cards with a theme each week. Since this is a new month, here is our new theme for November:
I have used the Sweetest Star Bundle quite a bit recently. I love how quickly you can stamp the Santa star, color with Stampin’ Blends and cut with the coordinating punch:
Did you notice those tiny peppermints? They come in 3 sizes are so adorable. I also used the Take A Bow Designer Paper in 1″ strips for the background:
