These are stamps that I have. I painted them with black craft paint then I stamped a piece of copy paper with all of them. Cut a few out and taped them to the blue construction paper. then I can take a picture of that and print it. Then cut around those to make cards with card stock. I really like blue and silver for Christmas. It’s an also be a 50’s retro theme.
Sometimes they do not come out exactly right but what I have done is paint in the lines. You can also use different colors and that’s why I used black, as an outline for the rest.
For this card I took a tag off of some jeans that I had bought and copied it, as I was copying it I moved it so that it would smear. Then I took this stamp and used green craft paint. Then I painted the truck red. This used to be a card that I had on EBay. I cannot find this stamp now. I used to have them organized but now they are a complete mess. I had used the zippered bags that sheets come in to organize them.
I have a post called ‘Watering Can With Bees’. I did the same technique with that where I filled in the flowers with different colors of paint, I cannot find that picture. But it’s a post on this blog, where nothing is alphabetized.
I decided to do the Christmas craft differently. I cut them each out and taped them to the printer paper. Now I can take a picture of this and print it. Use the screen of your phone as a guide of how big or small you want them to be.
Either way, you will have the original to print out as many times as you want! You can make cards out of these or gift tags!
This is cardboard that I cut out with a paper cutter and then I took a hole punch to it. then I painted one side white and then turquoise over that. On these, take some of the smaller images from the ones that you stamped using stamps and craft paint and cut them out and tape or glue them on the gift tags for presents. Just add twine or ribbon. Use cardboard from saved boxes you receive through the mail.

Here is another idea for a Christmas card! If you don’t like your family this holiday just take a random pic of something and just use an app to label it, and bam! It’s done! lol
