TEXAS Christmas Cards

It's time for more Texana Designs Cards.  Christmas is right around the corner so I am using some of my favorite stamps to make a few cards.  I love the Christmas Texas stamps.  They come in two sizes.  Below is a card made with the large TX002 Christmas Texas stamp and TX04 Have a Texas-size Christmas Stamp were heat embossed using gold embossing powder.  Details in the Texas stamp were colored with Stickles.

Another card using TX002m Christmas Texas stamp fits perfectly in the FR006 Square Trio Stamp.  Sentiment Stamp.  Obviously with this card I didn't have room for the sentiment stamp I wanted to use so I improvised.  Keep reading below to see how I used TD029V There’s no place like Texas... (vertical) to create a sentiment that matched the square trio stamp.

I stamped the sentiment on white card stock  2 times

I then cut the sentiment and doodled the edges with a black marker to match the  Square Trio  stamp.  I used two separate stampings so that I could get adequate room around each of the smaller elements.

I used small scissors and cut out around the stars.  You can see a slit in the Texas where I cut up into it to reach the area I wanted to cut out.  I chose a place that I knew would be covered by the sentiment.

I slide the portion up under the stars and glued it in place and then finished  assembling the card.
