Extending The Use Of Christmas Themed Stamps (New Craft Stash #11)

 

Hello! Welcome back to my blog. For today's post, I am featuring a stamp set that I bought last October with the intent to use it in my Christmas cards but did not get to using it. I don't want to wait until the next Christmas to use it. So I challenged myself to use a Christmas stamp set for a non-Christmas theme. That's what I did for this card. I am featuring the Avery Elle Holiday Circle Tags clear stamp set, using the penguin to create a winter themed card. 

I stamped the penguin on watercolor paper Versafine Onyx Black Ink. I colored the penguins with Karin markers. I die cut the penguins using a die from the My Favorite Things Circle Stax die set.

I trimmed a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" Doodlebug Frosty Friends 6x6 patterned paper. I die cut 3 circle windows using a smaller circle die from the same circle stax die. I heat embossed the snowflakes from the same stamp set on the patterned paper using Wow! Silver Pearl embossing powder. For the sentiment, I heat embossed this using white embossing powder. The sentiment is from Mama Elephant Season Greetings stamp set. 

I blended Tim Holtz Dusty Concord Distress Ink on the edges of the circle windows. I applied Lawn Fawn Liquid Stardust to the outline of the circle windows using a sponge brush. I adhered the cut up penguins to the back of the patterned paper, making sure the penguin is centered on the window.

I scattered and adhered some Trinity Stamps snowflakes on the panel. 

Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
