Joining in the fun with Taheerah are ONE HUNDRED special guests – each serving up some fantastic Christmas inspiration! Just like an Advent Calendar, you’ll never know where you’re going to be visiting next until you ‘open the door’!

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.

Wow. So very nice, both are striking. I really like the polar bear with the words on it – I would never think to do that!
Beautiful cards. I really like your stamp set design as it is great for making both feminine and masculine cards.
I am always amazed at the many different ways different designers look at and use the same stamps and dies. I am so very grateful for the inspiration!
I love how you used your focal point to be your subdued background also. I was intrigued how you put the merry Christmas in the bear so went back and studied the stamp set. Ha ha on me, it’s already in there! Beautiful cards!
Beautiful cards. I specially love the second, as turquoise is my favorite color and I LOVE bears 😉 !
I love both cards, but especially the second one which is so unusual, and so striking.

love the design of both of your cards, Yoonsun – the repeated stamping and the pop of color is so effective!
Beautiful cards, Yoonsun! I especially love the first one with the pop of red against that background.
What awesome cards, Yoosun! I love the soft backgrounds that coordinate with the die cut!
Such pretty cards! I love how you used the same image for the background! It just makes the card!
Your stamped images are just gorgeous, Yoonsun! Love the pretty color too!
