I have enjoyed using the Delivering Cheer stamp set for creating both Christmas and birthday cards over the last few months.  For this fun-fold Christmas card, I have used this year's favourite festive colours of Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen, and Real Red...

Stamps: Delivering Cheer (photopolymer: 156368).  Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento (132708), VersaMark (102283).  Stampin' Blends: Evening Evergreen (155517), Soft Succulent (155521), Real Red (154899), Ivory (154922).  Card/Paper: Soft Succulent (155777), Evening Evergreen (155575), Real Red (106578), Basic White (159228), Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper (153492).  Accessories: White 1/4" Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon (151326), Rhinestone Basic Jewels (144220), White Stampin' Emboss Powder (Basics: 155554).  Tools: Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine (149653), Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder (156392), Heat Tool (129056), Stampin' Dimensionals (104430).

This Christmas card has a number of simple techniques incorporated that gives it a bit of wow-factor.  Firstly, I used a paper-piecing technique to give her dress a fun printed pattern.  I began by stamping the presents and dress images onto Basic White cardstock.  I then stamped the dress image onto designer paper, tightly cut around it, and adhered the dress onto the original stamped image.  Fun!

Another technique I like to utilise is to not only use Stampin' Blends to colour the stamped images, but to also colour the rhinestones match!  I added these to the Christmas tree, like pretty ornaments or lights.

And lastly, I used a fun-fold card design called a Bay Window Card to construct my Christmas card.  This has a bay-window-shaped panel in the front that is propped up by tucking the end under the words on the right.  It folds flat for posting...

... and has a lovely space inside for writing your festive message.

I am loving the Delivering Cheer stamp set but am sad that it is leaving us!
