Whoo hoo! I Stamped!

Stamps: Peaceful Season
Paper: Whisper White, Crumb Cake
Ink: Perfect Plum, Elegant Eggplant, Crumb Cake
Accessories: Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder, non-SU embossing folder, organdy ribbon, Dimensionals®

I finally stamped! In between getting some appetizers made ahead of time that is ... I've gotten a couple things done for a fondue on Christmas Eve so now I've got to get onto the baking ... anyway, you didn't come here to read about that, did you?

I played with a couple of challenges - one of the is the Tuesday Trigger challenge and the other is the layout from Clean & Simple Stamping. I'd played around with my embossing folders and ink and used a non-SU embossing folder to create a soft background. I don't know if you can tell, but I reversed the ink from one side of the folder to the other just to see what the difference would be and I really liked both!

I love this stamp set for quick and simple Christmas cards. I ended up making 6 of these and they whipped up really quick, honestly! Here's a pic of the inside that I'd stamped too. The sentiment is from a Verve Stamps set from last Christmas, I think:


Hope you like these! Thanks for visiting :) and thanks for all the happy wishes/congrats from yesterday's post!!

P.S. Have YOU signed up for the Inkspirations Blog Tour yet?! You should! I would LOVE to see what you create as I'm in total need of inspiration for Christmas gifts!
