Ham it up Pig Christmas card


I'm always on the lookout for quirky Christmas stamps. This QKR Stampede Christmas Pig digital stamp is a perfect example. And if the image suits a punny sentiment, so much the better. I created this one with Castellar font. I had to explain what 'Ham it up' meant to my French husband, so I guess that rules out sending it to any French speakers. And now that I think about it, it might not be the best card for a vegetarian either.


The paper is Carta Bella's Christmas Delivery paper pad. I purchased it a couple of years back so it's probably retired now, although I suspect it's still available on eBay or Amazon. It's my favorite Christmas paper pad and I've made serious inroads into it. There are three cards up on the blog made with it: Snow Time Bear, Cardinal Christmas, and Snowmen Joy.


I kept embellishments simple with a wooden snowflake and button.

  1. Tee hee - what a fun card! And you're right...I don't think a vegetarian would see the humour. (: I love the papers and that snowflake/button embelli too.

  2. LOL! Cracks me up! That pig is sooo ugly he is cute! Love that your DP looks like a barn wall and that the wall in the background of the image mimics that DP!
    Well done!
