I want to share with you my Christmas cards using the SSS Magical Christmas stamp & die set I designed.
To start, I repeatedly stamped the deer from the Magical Christmas set on an A2 sized white paper panel in Barely Beige dye ink – I used the Mini MISTI Stamping tool. I then stamped the deer on a separate white card stock in Merlot dye ink, die cut it with the matching die. I added some stitches on the stamped panel using the Stitched Slopes and Hills dies and for the sentiment, I used the Believe word die. Lastly I mounted all elements as shown to A2 white card base using foam tape.
For my second card, I used the polar bear image from the Magical Christmas set. I stamped it with Audrey Blue dye ink.

Yoonsun, your background stamping with the focal image in a bold color looks simply divine on both cards. I need to win so I can buy your stamp set from SSS. Glad you had a nice visit home. Happy New Year!
