It’s a wrap! I finally finished up and mailed my Christmas and holiday cards. My stamping capacity was maxed at 48 cards. However, I’m so excited that everyone I love will get a little something handmade by me this year. All Santas were stamped with versamark and embossed to make the coloring process much easier. Liquid Applique (white) adds a wonderful texture and sheen on the beard, mustache and trim. Here are a some stamping highlights to share for inspiration. Check out the Build A Brads (last photo). Very swank!
