Merriest CHristmas Wishes

This stamp is a lovely 3.5" square Hero Arts Cling stamp - named as per the title of today's blog entry.

I've stamped it in versamark and heat embossed it using some very lovely Christmas red sparkle Cosmic Shimmer embossing powder - the picture doesn't really do it justice.

I've then just left a small border round the design, cut out and mounted on a black card.

Sentiment is from a Kirsty Wiseman 'many greetings' set of stamps, also embossed and punched out with an SU label punch & slightly edged with red ink to blend in.

It's been quite popular as a 'simple but effective' card so I am making a few more.

Christmas Scene

Finally, a Christmas card!

Unfortunately scanning this in doesn't really do it justice, even though it is another 'simple but effective' number.

The stamp is a Hero Arts one called 'Winter Scene'. I have just stamped it with Staz-On on to white card, layered that on to a piece of black and mounted on a card - with a side fold which is quite nice for a change.

The sentiment is also Hero Arts.

The trees are then made twinkly with a glue pen and some fine glitter - this is what doesn't really show well on the picture but is subtle enough to make it a quick but smart card.

I am now off to find a home for my owl which may feature tomorrow!
