Every day this week I will be featuring Clean & Simple (CAS) Christmas cards for you. At this time of year and with so many Crimbo cards to make this is an ideal style for making mass numbers of cards. Some I have to show are very simple some are simplish IYKWIM. Today's card is with the ever popular
PAPERMANIA CHRISTMAS BAUBLE STAMP.
Boy did this stamp cause a stir. Normally Do~Crafts retire stamps after they sell out but due to popular demand they brought it back this year too. I have only used this stamp a few times shocking i must admit but i didn't find it stamped the image well at all. So I unmounted the stamp from the wooden block and it stamps a dream now. I use a stamp board for unmounted stamps which helps cushion.
I stamped the image using black versafine and let it dry. I used my Quickie glue pen and added it to areas of the baubles then covered it with glamour dust for some sparkle. The top section of the card was scored using my Crafters Companion ultimate and the ribbon is by Anita. A quick and easy card with clean lines for Chritmas.
Well thats it for me just now off to do some housework and have a cuppa. Catch up with you tomorrow for another CAS creation.
Thanks for stopping by!

great card ali love the simplicity of it. its nasty and windy here too yuck but perfect for crafting yippee x
This is a beautiful Christmas card. I love the crosshatch dry embossing and the sparkle you added to the ornaments.
This is so elegant Ali. I love all the cards you have made with this stamp. This card must be huge! I bought this stamp this year and was surprised to see how big it was. I think I might follow your idea of taking it off the wooden block.

You know how to make an elegant card Alison and this is top notch. I'm with you on the poor stamping bit so I'll try taking it off the wooden block and give it another go.
Thanks for the tip!

Love this card Ali, it is a lovely stamp but I wish it was a big smaller - it's so huge you have to make bigger cards! I might copy you and take mine off the block too, at least then it won't take up so much room to store.
Hugs, Nicki, x
