In our cardmaking group the challenge this month for Christmas cards was to use silhouette's. I actually found more than I thought I had both in stamps and dies.
My first card uses both.
- Inkadinkado - Silhouette's stamp set
- PPD - Scalloped Snowflake Frame
With this stamp, I colored the red rubber with Aqua markers and stamped each section at a time, using my Misti stamping platform. When I was all done stamping them all, I very lightly misted the stamp with water and stamped one more time, it really gave it a nice look I think.
- Inkadinkado - Folk Wreath stamp set w/Aqua Markers
- Inkadinkado - Christmas Season stamp set for sentiment
- Stampendous - Stickers (in the corner)
I made two of these, the actual nativity was cut again using sparkle paper and the top part of the ornament was done with gold glitter cardstock. I realized just now posting that I didn't add a sentiment, will have to decide if I think it needs one.
- Die Versions - Starry Nativity Ornament die, gold glitter and sparkle cardstocks
- Impression Obsession - Pine Branch die
- Anna Griffin - Christmas Scrapbook paper
The next one I will share the side view too, so you can see the embossing better. I am thinking I need some new gold embossing powder, or maybe it is the way I am stamping, it just seems to come out bumpy instead of smooth.
- Inkadinkado - Holiday Silhouettes w/gold embossing powder
- Spellbinders - Matting Basics A dies
- Elizabeth Craft designs - Merry Christmas sticker, colored w/gold pen
This last one is from a set of border stamps.
- Recollections - Christmas Borders stamp set
- Spellbinders - A2 matting basics A dies
- Hot off the press - 63 Thin line Border stickers
Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,

These are amazing and beautiful, Connie.
Your six silhouette-themed Christmas cards are stunning! The Inkadinkado Silhouettes and Folk Wreath stamps, PPD Scalloped Snowflake Frame, and Aqua markers create striking designs. I love the sparkle paper nativity and gold glitter ornament, as well as the embossed details with gold embossing powder. The Die Versions Starry Nativity Ornament die, Impression Obsession Pine Branch die, and Anna Griffin Christmas Scrapbook paper add beautiful layers. Elizabeth Craft Designs Merry Christmas sticker and Hot Off The Press Thin Line Border stickers complete the elegant look. A wonderfully festive collection!
Connie Dear, don't ask me which one I do prefer, it's not possible for me to choose, they're all so beautiful!
Thank you for sharing always wonderful works of art.
May your weekend be a blessed one

Wow Connie, these are all amazing! Just look at the jump start you have on making your Christmas cards already. I couldn't possibly pick a favorite. They're all wonderful.
Oh wow! All so beautifully festive! I like each one for different reasons. The cardinal....that pretty little wreath....the ornaments! Love the sprig of greenery too! Fantastic!
This is a fun and pretty set of Christmas cards! You're always right on top of it. Reading about your wreath -- I like the idea of getting all the inking down first and then misting the stamp. I'll have to try that!
Gorgeous cards Connie and I love the silhouette stamps and cannot pick a favourite...
luv CHRISSYxx
these are all so beautiful. i always favor the ones with birds, the one with the cardinal is so pretty.
Awwww... Stunning cards!
They are all beautiful xoxo
You have a good head start on Christmas cards! I never can get inspired to make them out of season, and only do so when one of the companies I work for requires it. (smile)
Oh how pretty!! I love the splatter background and those tiny pearls!
