Hello, crafty cardmaking friends!
Grab your favorite crafting apron—the one you don’t mind getting a little messy—because today we are traveling back in time. We are using Ground Espresso Distress Oxide Ink to give a gorgeous, weathered edge to a classic holiday look.
We are featuring the Spellbinders and Simple Stories Old-Fashioned Christmas Stocking Die set.

5 Easy Step Card Process
I’ve broken this entire process down into my signature 5 Easy Step format, so you can recreate this classic look without any holiday crafting stress. Let’s get started!
To build our background, I’m using patterned papers from the Simple Vintage Evergreen Memories 6×8 Paper Pad. If you don’t have that exact pad in your stash, no worries! The Simple Stories Old Fashioned Christmas 6×8 Paper Pad works perfectly as it is part of the same collection.
