By | November 27, 2023

Hello my Stampin’ Friends

Hope you had an enjoyable Thanksgiving weekend🦃

First of all, I want to thank all that have taken advantage of my Black Friday/Cyber Monday Special these last couple of days. Hurry, the clock is ticking! My special offer ends tonight at midnight. Don’t miss out on the chance to snag your favorites from the annual catalog and receive not one, but two sets of Stampin’ Blends Markers!

Invite Father Christmas into your holiday season with the Saint Nicholas Stamp Set. Choose from two styles of Santa and complete the scene with a pedestal letterbox, a candy cane, a bag of gifts, a gingerbread cookie, or a glass of wassail. The open line-art images are designed for coloring so you can choose your own color scheme. Use Stampin’ Write Markers, Stampin’ Blends, or Classic Stampin’ Ink with coloring tools to get the look you want. Finish your cards with a sentiment of love and joy. If you love vintage Christmas cards, you can now make your own.

I used the following Stampin’ Blends to color in the Saint Nicholas image and sack full of toys.

  • Cherry Cobber
  • Old Olive
  • Pebble Path
  • Wild Wheat
  • Petal Pink
  • Balmy Blue
  • Daffodil Delight
  • Pebble Path

After coloring the images, I cut them using the coordinating dies from the Saint Nicholas Dies.

The base card is Wild Wheat Cardstock, layered with Cherry Cobbler Cardstock. I then embossed another Wild Wheat Cardstock with the Christmas Tidings 3D Embossing Folder and attached it to the front of the card.

The Basic White Cardstock (front panel) was embossed with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder. Before attaching to the front, I adhered two pieces of twine (non-SU) and then I added 3 sprigs cut from the Magic Meadows Dies using Old Olive, Vellum Cardstock and pattern paper from the Traditions of St Nick Designer Series Paper. Finished off the card with a twine bow and embellishments from the Faceted Gems Trio Pack. Lastly I stamped the sentiment on Vellum Cardstock which was inked with Versmark and set with the Black Embossing Powder and a Heat Tool.

Inside of the card and front of envelope. The sprig was cut from the Magical Meadows Dies with Old Olive cardstock. I added small berries (Cherry Cobbler Cardstock) to the sprigs.
