I have a few Christmas cards for you today; I was just sort of playing around with my stamps…no challenges, nothing specific, just stamping for the fun of it! I didn’t purchase too many Christmas stamps from the catalog this year, so I was trying to use what I had in different ways. I saw a blackboard-style card using O Holy Night, so I tried my hand at it as well, mounting it on some silver paper and using an embossed Apothecary Accent diecut on a Cherry Cobbler card base:
Same stamp set, stamped in Gold Encore ink (why haven’t I used this ink in such a long time?—it’s beautiful!); again on a Cherry Cobbler base (I had cut a bunch for a project and then ending up not using them!!!), and I diecut & embossed the edge, then added some Brushed Gold cardstock as accents. Really easy and classy!
Finally, I was playing with some scraps laying on my desk and the Endless Wishes stamp set, which sadly has sold out already!!! I stamped it in Chocolate Chip, then added glitter. I embossed the Crumb Cake base with a non-SU embossing folder.
Cassidy was playing with a little printout from the computer, gluing shapes on to the designated areas, when she spied my glitter container and wanted to play with the glitter inside. I had some glitter glue I never use, so I showed her how to squeeze the bottle and dab some on….oh boy:
The finished project…..BLOBS of glitter glue! She loved it!

We're on the same wave length as we used the same Endless wishes stamps today on our projects! Too funny :) Love them all, especially the embossing on kraft, but Cassidy's glue globs are the most fun :)
