I'm back today! I've been organizing and sorting some more Christmas card samples that I've made and trying to catch up on some I neglected to feature in a blog. The stamp set I'm featuring today is one of those sets that probably didn't hit your wish list the first time around. It maybe even hasn't been noticed by you. I noticed it, primarily because I loved the art work and particularly loved the style of font and the sentiment itself. I waited until I had a larger order and could order this with hostess dollars. I like to use my hostess dollars for "free" stuff that I sorta like but would rather not spend a lot of money on, haha!
Did you notice the set "Cambridge Carols" in the Holiday catalog, page 40? It's pretty charming and will evoke the winter whimsy in you, if only for the ice skates! Here are some ideas I tried:
The sharp observer will note that I didn't tackle coloring the whole image. I would like to do that and probably will, just haven't yet. It would be some ambitious coloring but very pretty. There is a good sample of a colored image in the catalog. For the most part, I just stamped the entire images in ink and then worked with them from there. I did add a lacy edgelit to the second card and the last card I popped up my frame to create a shadow box effect. Any of these would be pretty quick to do if you needed a bunch, especially the last card.
At this point, I'm almost done with Christmas crafting and moving on to the next season of Stampin'Up!, the Occasions catalog. I'll will be featuring sneak peeks all of December and eagerly look forward to the launch of this new catalog and Sale-A-Bration on January 3, 2019. There are some incredible stamps and more coming that you will be really excited about. You will especially like some of the products that work for masculine themed projects - REALLY!
Today and tomorrow are the last days of the Online Extravaganza. Tools and Ink are on sale today so grab what you need in the online store before it's gone!
Until next time!
