Some Christmas Postage Stamp Cards

Supplies: Paper - Neenah Classic Crest Solar White; 

Paper Studio green card stock; Recollections A2 card

Stencils - Waffle Flower Postage Collage Vertical Tree

& Postage Collage;

AJVD Stitched Dot Rectangle Backdrop Set

Other - Various inks; foam tape; SSS star embellishments

We have the wonderful Waffle Flower as our December sponsor, furnishing a $15 gift card to their online store. We'll award it by random drawn on 1/3/2026 from eligible December entries.

I started with a piece of Neenah and stenciled each of the tree's 5 layers using various inks. Next I die cut it with the Postage Collage. Die cut a stitched rectangle with the plaid texture & adhered to an A2 card.

Next, I started stamping the postal details. Paper shifted and the stamping went wonky so I trimmed the postage collage into its 6 separate postage stamps. With artful layering, I knew I could still use all 6 of the cut stamps. Used 3 here and saved the other 3. Added a sentiment from the stash & some Simon Says Stamps stars.

I'll add this card to Darnell's December NBUS Challenge #81 since my tree stencil set got first play here. 

For my bonus, I used the remaining postage stamps created above. Added them to a snowflake coverplate that was adhered to an A2 card, along with another sentiment from the same sentiment set as above.
