Merry Monday Card Challenge #8 posted on Always Playing With Paper Blog.
I made two cards... this one above uses a Santa Claus stamp from a stamp set I got a while back from a fellow SCS'er.. the stamp set is from Flourishes called Santa, I Believe. I had the hardest time getting a clean image with the Santa Claus image.. I stamped it 7 times before I finally did.. a lotta work for one image.. but it was worth it.
used on this card:
card stock: Stampin' UP! Early Espresso, Marina Mist, white
ink: Memento Brown
access: bigkick, nestabilities dies, Stampin' UP! houndstooth embossing folder, Stampin' UP! white ribbo, brown brads, hole punch, and Dimensionals!!
stamps: Flourishes Santa, I Believe
This next card using some Hero Arts stamps.. Winter Scene and the sentiment is from Greatest Gift. used on this card:
card stock: Stampin' UP! Ruby Red, Always Artichoke, White
ink: Memento Black, Ranger distress ink.. one of the winter colors
acces: bigkick, Stampin' UP! embossing folder, punch, nestabilities oval and scallop oval, and Dimensionals!!!
stamps: Hero Arts, Winter Scene and sentiment from The Greatest Gift

Wow Pam, both of your cards are delightful. I enjoy that Santa stamp, and yes, I always find I need to stamp it a few times to get a clean image! I love the winter scene on the other card too, the embossing is very pretty. Thanks for joining me at Merry Monday, I hope you come back and play again.
Smiles,

Lovely cards! I especially love the 2nd card with your winter scene stamp.
both cards are very pretty. I really like the second one the best!
I've always loved that Santa image and your cards turned out great! You're way ahead of the game with your Christmas cards already! WTG!
Great winter scene and that Santa stamp is superb ... Well worth the effort!
Fantastic cards - your blog is wonderful :) x

Gorgeous cards Pam! The santa card was defiantly worth all that work to get the crisp clean image!
