My card for today is made with “White Christmas” from the Holiday Catalog. It is a set of 13 photopolymer stamps that you can use to make wintry outdoor scenes. The images are great for coloring, but it is also striking on a dark background – I used Night of … Continue reading
I have an entry to get in by tomorrow’s deadline for the weekly challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. The sketch made me think of a snow globe, which in turn made me think of my current favorite stamp set – “Holiday Home”. I made a little gingerbread house by heat … Continue reading
