Greeting Card Kids

Welcome Home

Good Morning Stampers I think that Cherry Cobbler is going to be my "go to" color for Christmas.  I love it when paired with Chocolate Chip and Very Vanilla.  For today's card I used the Welcome Christmas Stamp Set.  Favorite scenes of Christmas in silhouette—decorating the tree, discovering stocking stuffers, and sledding through a winter wonderland—are just a few of the highlights of this set.   The main image was stamped… Read More »
