Traditions of St. Nick DSP

 I used the Traditions of St. Nick DSP to create this Christmas card. The stamp set is the retired Merriest Moments, but any set with greenery would work. I also splattered the card with white acrylic paint diluted with a little water. I used the shimmery crystal effects on the holly berries and metallic pearls for the center of the poinsettia.

October 2023 Home for the Holidays Paper Pumpkin Alternatives

Here are a few alternatives for this month's Paper Pumpkin kit.  I’m enjoying making “cookies” with the house and tree stamps!

I made the cookie sheet by rounding the corners of a rectangular piece of Basic Gray card stock, rounded the corners, scored below the curves and used blending brushes to add some shading to the edges.

Other items I used include Traditions of St. Nick patterned paper, Christmas Tidings embossing folder, and various colors of the Stampin' Blend alcohol markers  









Water Coloring Over White Embossing...Will it Work?

I love the look of white embossing! Whether it is on Crumb Cake card stock or ink blending over it on white card stock to make an image pop....
