Scenic Christmas cards – Christmas Stampathon

Posted on May 29, 2025May 25, 2025 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing the cards made for the May 2025 Christmas Stampathon challenge where our theme is ‘different sized card’.

Colours used to make my cards are:

Basic White

Cloud Cover

Shaded Spruce

To recreate the scenic Christmas cards, you will need:

Thick Basic White card bases – 6” by 3” scored at 3”
Basic White card – 3¼” by 3¼”

I punched a 2” Circle from the centre of the square of Basic White card and placed this over the 3” card front to act as a mask.

Using a small Blending Brush I swirl some Cloud Cover ink into the space left by the punched circle. The mask was then removed.
