Have you seen this beautiful Dove of Peace stamp in the Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog? It's at the bottom of pg 20. Don't miss it… this catalog will end before you know it!
I had fun creating 3 totally different hand stamped cards with this Dove of Peace stamp! They each have a very different feel to them!
Dove of Peace card #1:
Do you Zentangle? That's what this stamp reminds me of!!! It makes me think of my friends Lydia and Melanie. I had so much fun coloring it with my Stampin' Write markers.. it takes me back to about Jr. High School when I used to love to color in outline art images! That trend is totally back!
I stamped the dove on Very Vanilla cardstock with my Archival black ink pad and colored it with Tangerine Tango, Calypso Coral, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight and Pear Pizzazz Stampin' Write markers. (yes, the very same colors as my room when I was a teenager) 🙂
I cut out the dove and used Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere it to a die cut banner. The banner is on top of a piece of Very Vanilla that I embossed with the Softly Falling Embossing Folder. It's layered onto Calypso Coral and Daffodil Delight cardstock, then onto a Pear Pizzazz folded card.
Dove of Peace card #2:
I kept this one pretty simple.. just stamping the dove with the Archival Basic Black pad onto Thick Whisper White cardstock, and punching the corners with the Curvy Corner Trio Punch.
It's popped up on Stampin' Dimensionals onto the script design from the Neutrals Collection paper stack, then onto Basic Gray cardstock and a folded Basic Black card.
I die cut the word Peace using my Big Shot and the Christmas Greetings thinlit dies (pg 34 Holiday catalog) using Basic Black Cardstock, and I also die cut a layer using Fun Foam, glued them together with the Fine Tip Glue Pen, then adhered it to the card with the fine tip glue pen. I love the way it pops up on the card!! (click here to watch my Fine Tip Glue Pen Tips video)
Dove of Peace card #3:
Simple. Black and Gold.
I stamped the dove using my StazOn black ink pad onto the Gold Foil paper, layered that onto some of the gold and black foil striped paper in the Winter Wonderland Specialty paper package (pg 23 Holiday Catalog), added some gold satin ribbon and a simple tag. The tag is stamped with the Peace be with you greeting from the Reason for the Season set and die cut with a tag from the Tags & Labels framelit collection.
You may have guessed that I cut my dove and greeting apart.. I found it easier to use that way.

Love all three cards, depending on recipient each has a message to share.
Each one could be used for various occasions, not just Christmas.
Have a joy filled day.
All three cards are beautiful, but my favorite is the black and gold foil card.
Good Morning Patty
All your cards are gorgeous but I think #3 is so elegant. Love the gold and black!! Thanks for sharing.

Good morning Patty,, I love them all but the Black And Gold is STUNNING,,Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend
How can I choose just one? Each one has a beauty all in its own. Beautiful, Patty.
I really love the colored one. The colors you chose really pop.
GORGEOUS! I love the different looks and couldn’t pick a favorite if I tried!
I’m pretty much a plain & simple resonate! I like #2.
So beautiful Patty!! Since I have to choose only one, it would be #1
Have a good one!!
These are all so fantastic! I love the simple white dove the best! 🙂
Hi Patty,
All three cards are beautiful. I don’t have that stamp, but would love to copy all three of your cards. It is so hard to choose just one. I really do love the gold card. It is so beautiful. Thanks again for sharing, and do have a wonderful weekend.
Best wishes, Karren
They are all beautiful, but my favorite is #3. I love the black and gold together!
#3 is my favorite.
I love them all.
Card one is my favorite !
Hi Patty,
All of your cards are lovely….and so different! I think the last one in black and gold is my favorite. It is so elegant! Thanks so much for sharing….not only the cards, but your tips on making them. (It makes it so much easier for us to CASE them that way…LOL!)
My favorite is #3 – the dove looks absolutely stunning on the gold foil. I bought that stamp but haven’t used it yet – I might case your card #3 as my holiday card this year. All the “wow” without a lot of fuss, which is just what I need 🙂 All three cards are gorgeous though – love the colors you chose for coloring in the dove in #1.
I love the Gold Foil!!!!
Hard to decide. They all have such different character. But my favorite is the colored one. I love to color. All are very nice.
