Hello everyone! I’m here today with CS Take It Make It Design Team for our CS Take It Make It: Take a Stamp Challenge for the month of September.
This month’s theme is Take a Stamp!! That means take any stamp and create something, anything goes!! Now if that isn’t easy, I’m not sure what is!!
Take a look at my card:
Man oh man, I love how this Christmas card turned out. I didn’t want to use traditional colors, the black and white is so pretty!
- I knew I wanted to use Versamak Ink so I prepped my Hero Arts Black Note Cards before stamping.
- I used the new Hero Arts Hand Drawn Snowflakes Bold Prints Stamp Set and stamped it on my black cardstock using Versamark ink.
- I added Hero Arts Ultra Fine White Embossing Powder and heat set it.
- I cut my panel down to 3/4 and adhered it to the bottom of my card panel using Tombow Multipurpose Glue.
- I stamped the sentiment from Hero Arts Joy to the World Stamp Set on the top portion of my card using Hero Arts Unicorn Pigment Ink.
- I added white ribbon to the card base and tied a bow.
Super easy but very elegant. I love how crispy this card turned out.
I love how this turned out!! Now its your turn to play along with us!!!

I don’t think I have ever done a black Christmas card with white embossed snowflakes, but that will be changing this year! I think this is so striking, Kymona, and so, so stunning! I can just imagine the wow-factor pulling that beauty out of the envelope!! Thank you for playing in my NBUS Challenge #5 ~ so long ago! I’m sorry that my nursing duties have delayed me in coming by to thank you. Enjoy your day! Hugs, Darnell
Beautiful card! I have a hard time with white embossing on black but I’m going to try this one. Really lovely!
