The design team has been having fun playing with the new stamps. Take a look at what they have been coming up with.
Alice used adorable Walter along with the JOY stamp by Carolyn Draws. It's a fun little combination.
Alice's next card uses the Snow Cabin stamp which is great solo or in the background with some cute critters playing in front. This card also uses the new Dusting of Snow stamp.
stamps used: Snow Cabin and Dusting of Snow
Henry is a darling skating bear that Helen matched up with the 2 different snowflake stamps. I love the texture of the snow that Helen created on this card.
stamps used: Henry, Snowflakes, Vintage Snowflakes & Merriness
Karin created a friend for snowman Joe to go skating with. It was a cute idea to double stamp him. Joe is one of the two new snowman stamps for this collection.
stamps used: Joe and Winter Wishes Sentiment Set
Karin then created a shaker card with Cora & Thomas. How sweet is this stamp! The card has some confetti inside that when shook will look like falling snow.
stamps used: Cora & Thomas and 'tis the season
Kelly created one of her fun pop up cards using quite a few of the new stamps. Here is the front of her card.
stamps used: Walter & Warm Wishes
Here is the inside of the card:
stamps used: Lights, Louis and Cocoa Stand
Lesley used the second new snowman stamp to the A Charming Winter collection. This stamp is called Warm Hearted. Lesley created a great and easy snow background with some patterned paper.
stamps used: Warm Hearted & 'tis the season
Nancy created this really fun card using Grace. Grace is skating along and pulling a sleigh full of presents.
stamps used: Grace, Sled, The Pond, Stacked Gifts & The Sweetest Season Sentiment Set
Nancy's next card uses the Lighted Trees stamp and Walter. Walter is an adorable penguin either waiting to skate or perhaps one who has fallen on his bum while skating.
stamps used: Lighted Trees, Walter & The Sweetest Season Sentiment Set
Piali also used the Warm Hearted stamp but created a softer look by stamping it with a lighter ink and watercoloring the image.
stamps used: Warm Hearted & 'tis the season
Here is another card featuring Henry by Simone. She has also used The Pond background stamp. This stamp was designed to use year round with all the collections. In the winter it is a skating pond with snow covered ground. In the warmer months it is a pond with green grass and trees to fish or go canoeing.
stamps used: Henry, The Pond & wishing you a wonderful holiday season
Next are two cards from Vera. The first uses Louis along with the Cocoa Stand stamp. Vera kept the color palette simple for this card and only used a few colors. It is a different twist seeing all the weathered wood in the natural grey state it realistically ages to rather than the brown we picture.
stamps used: Cocoa Stand, Louis & The Sweestest Season Sentiment Set
Vera's other card shows off Grace who is taking a spin on the ice by herself. She makes a great skating partner for several of the other stamps. The Snow Cabin stamp was colored with different colored markers to create the different colors.
stamps used: Grace, Snow Cabin & wishing you a wonderful holiday season
The final card for today also has a video to accompany it. That means the card is from Therese! Stacey's birds have always been a favorite in each of the collections. This winter Mary joins the other feathered friends. Here is a card Therese created with her.
stamps used: Mary, Merriness, Envies & Merry Christmas to You
I hope you enjoy all Stacey's wonderful new stamps. I'll have some more samples to show in the upcoming days.
