Stretch your Christmas stamps!!

Hi there!!

it´s Yolanda here, from Scraping Time. I hope you had a great start of the year.
Have you seen the new Clear Stamps on the shop??? I am looking forward to starting playing with them but meanwhile, I am going to try to stretch my Christmas stamps! Yes... don´t be afraid... I am not going to show you more Christmas cards this year !!! :)

I know that there are many people that after Christmas, take the Christmas stuff and put them away till next year. But I am sure that you can use it more if you look at them with "cardmaker" eyes! ;)

For my cards, I have used some stamps from "Peeking friends" and "Snowman friends".



In my first card I used this critter that can be used for many kind of cards... Birthday cards, friendship... 
I used three diferent colours of Distress Inks for the background and then I did my panel. I die cut a false stitched square on white cardstock and I die cut a smaller one but I decided not to put it straight! I coloured the stamp with Spectrum Noir markers and I finished the card with the sentiment from Mama Elephant and some silver sequins. 



For my second card, I decided to use these cute snowmen for a Valentine's card. I love this set and it is lovely for a winter scene too! 


I show you how I made this card:





I really enjoyed playing with these two lovers!! :) 

I hope you look at your stamps twice from now on and see you soon!!

  4. La verdad es que yo soy precisamente de ésas que aparcan los sellos navideños hasta el año siguiente (menos mal que no tengo muchos). Una idea genial.
