Merry and Bright with the Concord & 9th Merry Shapes stamp set

 My favorite Christmas colors are red, white and silver, so of course I'm going to make some cards featuring that color combination this season. These cards feature the Concord & 9th Candy Stripe background, which I love for a quick hand stamped classic candy cane vibe. 






The first card uses the Concord & 9th Sophisticated Script stamp set for a great hand lettered look sentiment, and the Merry Shapes stamp set for the cute vintage look Christmas bulbs. Don't you love the poppy red ink? Such a perfect Christmas red.






The second card mixes it up a little with the ‘bright’ sentiment from an older Concord & 9th stamp set, Shine On.


Happy December 1st. I hope your entire month is Merry and Bright!

The third card features a monochromatic poppy red palette with a split background featuring the Sketched Stripe background from Concord and 9th and the Tiny Text Christmas set from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous. I love the festive tree shaped sentiment from the Trim the Tree sentiment, stamped in the tree  cutout.
