Apparently some couldn’t view the latest image in the 12 weeks of Christmas email, so I’m posting the project here for your viewing pleasure…. I think if you click on the image you can see it even more closely, if you wish…
I picked up this frame when I was in the US last summer (Walmart, $3 or something ridiculous like that). I used Stampin’ Up!’s Wintergreen Designer Series Paper as the background, stamped the Headline Alphabet letters and the word "friend" from Everyday Flexible Phrases in close to cocoa craft ink (for longevity & for ease of coverage – I find it works well with larger solid images if I’m having trouble getting a good imprint). Accessories are flowers from the Pretties Kit, white taffeta ribbon, and antique brass hodgepodge hardware.
I chose to stamp each letter on an individual piece of cardstock, and then mounted them in a "jumbly" fashion to avoid anxiety over whether things were perfectly centered or perfectly aligned. This is a useful technique for scrapbook pages as well!
If I get the time, I’m hoping to do a more seasonal one that says "NOEL"….I still have almost a month….
Still 3 weeks to go in my 12 weeks of Christmas emails! (Sign up for my newsletter if you’d like to be included).

Nov 19, 2007 | rubber stamping
Less than two weeks left to order from the Stampin’ Up! holiday mini catalogue! Where does the time go? Here’s a sample from a recent stampers club night, featuring It’s Snow Time and some of Stampin’ Up!’s great Blizzard wrapping paper (from the holiday mini). With 2 rolls (2 different designs) of approximately 37 square feet paper, you could wrap your gift, add an accent to your hand stamped card, and even line the envelope! Talk about coordination!!
The snowman image was stamped in stazon ink (I used jet black here, but we used timber brown on club night, goes better with the brown theme, I think!) Coloured in with stampin’ write markers, then the entire piece of cardstock was coated in versamark ink & heat embossed with iridescent ice to give an all over sparkly effect. (not sure how well it shows up in the picture, but you get the idea, I think). This technique is a great one to add a little easy pizazz to any card.
(PS Seems like some older entries were "burped up" recently – not sure what that’s about (not my fault this time!!)…..hopefully it won’t continue!! Sorry for the inconvenience.
