I'm going through my older stamps and trying to use them again before preparing for another purge. I pulled out this Sweet 'n Sassy Itty Bitty stamp set and made a simple card. I stamped the images and colored them with glaze pens, and then fussy cut each one They all have little stitches on each side, so when I glued them down on the snippet of Lawn Fawn dsp, I took a black marker and added the stitches that I snipped off from the edges. The sentiment is a very old wooden stamp I had in my stash and it just seems to be a perfect fit for this simple design.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you've gotten a head start on your Christmas stash with all the Christmas in July challenges! Have a great weekend!

A cute Christmas card and I have made none. I love going through my older stamps and dies and loving them again. The red plaid paper is a great background for these cute little stamps and I love the stitching.
Super card which just goes to prove that it's worth pulling out some of our older stamps. It will soon be Christmas in August 😀
Super Christmas card Carol, I love the layout of your design. xx
What a wonderful card, I love the little images and the paper background. Great design with a lovely sentiment too.

Well done of using some of your older stash Carol, I often feel so guilty much gets neglected. It's a lovely design with a great seasonal feel.

This reminds me a cute Christmas quilt! I love your use of those smaller stamps and your idea to add the stitched lines along the edges was very brilliant as it brought them out with your sentiment! Enjoy your weekend friend!
I sketched out something similar to this design a couple of days ago for one of my Christmas cards this year. I LOVE the stamping of those tiny images. Precious and so pretty AND a perfect card for the holidays too!

I love the country feel of this card with those fun images! You've inspired me to pull out a couple of old SU stamps and get them inky!
What a cute Christmas card Carol! I love those little boxes of Christmas images and the stitching makes them really stand out! Glad someone is getting on their Christmas cards. LOL Hugs, Brenda
Your old stamps are so cute and love the doodled stitching you added to the edges, it makes the squares pop so well on the sweet gingham paper. Love the font of the sentiment and I agree, it's just perfect to match your design!
Sending big hugs and hope you are cool and well today and in the days ahead!
I love a wonderful country Christmas card and this fits the bill, Carol! I love everything about it, the paper, the cute stamps and that fabulous sentiment! Christmas in July is perfect for us crafters...definitely helps us build up our holiday stash! TFS and I hope your are loving this nicer weather we got today! I am giving the AC a rest and opened my windows! I love it! Hugs~

Great card. I never start on Christmas cards till it's so late that I get nothing done! Hugs, Valerie
