Stampin' Up: "Memories of Home" Stamp-a-Stack Christmas Cards

During my Britbox binging weekend, I designed another card with a simple layout that can be used for a stamp-a-stack Christmas card. (You can see my first stamp-a-stack sample on the previous post.)

The plan was to watch all the new seasons of my favorite British mysteries on my Britbox free 7-day trial week, but after getting caught up in some new favorites, I am paying for another month in order to binge some more! Next on the watchlist is the 3-episode first season of "In Plain Sight", a true-crime story in early 60s Scotland.

For this card, I used a Crumb Cake card base instead of traditional vanilla or white:

Products used for this card:

• "Memories of Home" cling stamp set #150474 (for sentiment and ornament)
