Rustic Plaid Stamped Star Christmas Card

"I love to make handmade Christmas cards, and even better when you can swap with other crafty friends. Here is a set of cards that uses a plaid stamp set that I used to make the green star. I start with making a background paper and then die cutting out the star shape for each card. Keeping the card simple and focusing on the star really helps that "star pop. A few little extra additions like the mist splatters, the twine loops or bows, and little clothespin all make this a super sweet card that have a rustic feel to it. Plus it is simple and can be mass produced for swaps!!
