What a great stamp set this is for the upcoming holiday season. Use them whole or stamp and cut the image apart; either way, I am sure you will use this set over and over.
I chose to use the whole image, but then created my sentiment by highlighting some of the text with embossing powder. The B&T paper is from the "Huntington" paper pack.
I thought this would make a great card to send to someone who has been a blessing in your life, or as a thank you for sharing a Thanksgiving meal.

My granddaughter found a box of brownie mix and decided she would make them for Grandpa. What a perfect chance to use these stamps!
I did a layout using the stamps to make my own B&T paper by random stamping. I also used a little liquid applique to create the "frosting" on the brownies. The title was done using the Color Ready Canvas Alphabet.
