Hello crafty friends, long time no see! I had a wonderful trip to South Korea (my hometown) during November and am back (so excited) with super amazing Taheerah’s Advent Calendar Extravaganza today! Yay!!

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’!
And that’s not all! With 25 *amazing* sponsors taking part as guests as well, your crafty wish list is bound to get a boost with a chance to win a prize EVERY SINGLE DAY!! Join in the fun every day at taheerah-atchia.com to see what special surprises await behind 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.

Lovely cards, lovely stamps and die cuts – they’re very stylish. I just love that believe popped up on the first card too!!!
LOVE these. The pops of color are perfect.
Love how you used the image repeatedly and popped the one image off the card!
I really loved your two cards! The pop of color on top of the tone on tone card bases look wonderful! Thanks so much for sharing!
Oh wow, I love the bear card! Wonderful/
Very beautiful card!!!
I love the subtle tone-on-tone background!
Yoonsun youe cards are so amazing!! I love how you used the stamp to do the background and also as your focal die cut!!! And the colors are so beautiful 😊
So glad to have you back and just in time for Christmas! Lovely designs.
Lovely layers … and repeat stamping. Gives a wonderful effect.
Beautiful tone on tone, and pop of color; lovely layers!
Love the simple card design and the colors used are great.
Love the monochromatic backgrounds with the pop of color!
Love how you used the deer image in the background and in the die cut….lovely.
I’m not a big fan of deer because I always picture them on a wall in some guys den. Yuck! However, your card doesn’t remind me of that because it’s so elegant. It’s beautiful with all the white snowflakes. I love the word Believe. Die cutters are so amazing, aren’t they? Not that I would know because I don’t have one but I saw what you did and it’s amazing.
I also love that blue polar bear. If only they were really that color.
Love the backgrounds.
Wow! Gorgeous cards!! Love how your main image was also your background but that the background was muted and the main image was colour, so nicely done!
Beautiful cards…love the soft ink colors that you used for the stamped background!
Wow! I really love your cards!!
I love the simplicity and classic look of these cards!
love the polar bear!
Cool technique I need to CASE – – to stamp the focal image also as background. Great cards.
Wow! I really love these! The way you used the stamps to make the background and then popped a colored image is just gorgeous!
Gorgeous cards! Love the colours you used! 🙂
stunning. gorgeous. amazing cards! LOOOOVE the subtle background and the gorgeous pop of color! wow!
Love the subtle stamped background and the fact you also used the same stamp as the focal point. Very pretty cards. The focal point really stands out!

Yoonsun, your cards are gorgeous! I love these designs especially the way everything is layered on the first card!
I really love the use of the one pop of color here with both cards! Great job!
The contrast of b/w with the color is super! Love both cards.
Leaving a pop of color over the background stamping was genius. Both cards are beautiful. Thanks

Really beautiful cards! I saw these stamps and although I liked them, I didn’t feel compelled to put them in my cart. . . Well you changed all that! Lol! TFS your talent :)
Wow! These are just fabulous!
Wow.. so cool. I’ve not been a great fan of stag heads but love, love, love what you’ve done here.
I love that you chose to use bright winter colors for the images! Love your work!
