October's Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

Welcome to October's Stamp of the Month blog hop! This month we are showcasing "Scandinavian Wishes" a set of  12 stamps. If you are coming from Gina's blog, you are on the right track. It's okay if you are starting here; just be sure to complete the circle so you don't miss any of the wonderful projects my fellow consultants have created.

This stamp set will be great for the upcoming holiday season and beyond!  The card I made is for Christmas, but could easily be used for another occasion simply be changing the sentiment.  I used one of the new circle spin cards for my base.  The B&T paper is from the "Babycakes" paper pack.  Colors are: White Daisy, Whisper, Ruby and Ponderosa Pine.

Counting the Days 'til Christmas

My grandchildren love to count down the days until Christmas, so here is another Advent Calendar for them. It was made using a cookie sheet from the Dollar Store. The main stamp set used is "All Decked Out". The images were stamped twice with one set cut out and magnets added. Each day we add another piece to the picture. When the picture is complete it's time for Santa to come!

Mojo Monday 98

Today I decided to make a Christmas card using the Mojo Monday 98 sketch for inspiration.

The background paper is glossy cardstock with alcohol ink. I am just beginning to use the alcohol inks and have a very limited supply, but I thought these colors would be pretty on a Christmas card.
All the rest of the materials, except the ribbon are Close to my Heart. The poinsettia and corner stamps are from "Gift of Love" (C1291) and the scroll is from "Life's Creation" (D1304). They were all stamped with Versamark and embossed in gold.
