This comes down to personal preference and how picky you are about spacing. If you are new to stamping, using a tool that will help you stamp straight may be helpful while learning. You can either estimate the spacing and stamp freehand or if you have a stamping platform, use this for stamping your image. To make the design more interesting, I stagger the image so that part of the greeting is off the page. Once you have stamped your main image, use the Christmas Greeting Stamp to create a pattern across the rest of the card with Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Crackling Campfire Ink. Adding the Christmas Greeting as a Pattern Ensure that you use an Archival Ink for this step so that it will stamp and dry on the embossed image.Īs a rule, heat embossed images will resist anything that is put onto them, but in the case of an Archival Ink you will be able to stamp on top of the embossed image and have the image fully dry.
By doing this, you will have a stronger design. Make sure to stamp the image about 2/3 down the card. I used Jet Black Archival Ink and the “Christmas Greetings” stamp from Tim Holtz Christmastime stamp set. Once the embossed image has cooled stamp the text image onto your project. I have shared this tutorial in two ways, the text and photos below and also in this video tutorial. I often find that by simplifying the design and using repetition, it usually creates a stronger card design. When making simple Christmas cards you do not need a lot of materials. I purposely chose only 3 colors of ink, one embossing powder and 2 stamps to create this card. The Christmas Card project that I am sharing with you today is a simple stamped card. It give us an opportunity to carve out a bit of time for restorative creativity and to bless others. My solution to this is to choose simple and easily repeatable designs for cards to give away. This means keeping card making as an activity for self-care and not another stressor. By being able to share your cards with others and bless them during this isolating time can bring so much joy to someone’s life.Īn important part of self-care is not overcommitting. Due to the pandemic, where we are encouraged to stay home and not to gather in groups, card making is more important than ever. With the pandemic and delays in mail service, I have started creating cards earlier than I usually do. I enjoy making cards over the holiday season. I know that I have been struggling with that very problem lately and I have found card making an excellent opportunity to give myself that self-care time. We often get so busy that we do not take time to pause, to rest and regroup. It presents an opportunity to sit down for a few minutes and make something simple and creative. Card Making for Self CareĬard making is an essential part of my seasonal self care. Today I want to share a simple Christmas Card that can be completed under 10 minutes. It is easy to get wrapped up in completing elaborate projects around Christmastime, but sometimes our intentions and our available time do not align.

It’s an effective way to keep a log of interactions and other information that doesn’t fit in other contact fields.As Christmas is drawing near, I wanted to share with you how to make a simple Christmas Card using stamps. You can easily add a timestamp to the Notes field by tapping the 'Add Timestamp' button. Add notes with timestampsĪt the bottom of the contact card is a notes section, allowing you to add any further detail about this contact that you feel is important. You can check the data that belongs to each account by tapping the account name under the Linked Contacts section at the bottom of the contact card. If you have the same contact name on different accounts Cardhop will merge the data from both accounts and display it as a single card. From here, tap 'Edit' in the upper-right to manually edit the contact details, or move the contact to another account or list. Cardhop will parse the new information and you can tap 'Update Contact' to add the new information to the contact.Īlternatively, tap a contact name to see the contact's details. To add additional information to an existing contact just type the contact's name into the search bar, followed by the new information you want to add. If you want to add a contact without using Cardhop's natural language parsing, tap the '+' icon in the top-right of the main contacts view. You can tap the contact name to manually edit additional details before hitting the 'Save' button in the upper-right. Type as much information into Cardhop as you wish, such as email-address, phone number etc, and Cardhop will parse the text and add it to the new contact automatically.
