Stretching Holiday Stamps

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is a good example on how to stretch your holiday stamps to create all occasion cards…

I stamped the wagon from THIS adorable Holiday set and colored it with Copic Markers. I can see myself using that wagon for many things, not just the holidays. It would be fun to fill it with hearts for a Valentine’s Day theme.

Next, I heat embossed a birthday sentment from THIS set on the wagon. I die-cut a white panel using THIS die and stamped numbers from THIS Holiday Advent set using THIS black ink. I chose the Versafine ink because it’s a pigment ink and will stay wet long enough to clear heat emboss. I love the shine it gives. Makes a simple card pop…

I colored a shadow beneath the wagon and adhered the panel to a red note card stamped with THIS background using the same black ink.

I love stretching the use of my holiday stamps. I hope this inspires you to look at your Holiday stamps in a new way.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great day!
