Have you checked out the Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember event yet? Amazing, limited, exclusive stamps from different companies, and today I am proudly representing La-La Land Crafts. La-La Land Crafts is one of the stamp companies that I love bunches. The owner Irina is a doll, and the products are ingenious, as well as quality. You will love this set, and the other La-La Land products I used.
Let me start by mentioning the ink pads I used for this project. I recently purchased the stamps pads by Catherine Pooler Designs. I loved them so much I invested in the whole range of them, as well as the refills. Catherine Pooler Designs stamp pads are absolutely delicious. The foam pad is very “smooshie”, enabling a perfect impression as seen on this card above. I am in love!! I shared the link for them below, so your life can be changed too.
Creating this Card:
Using my new Rockin’ Red ink, I stamped the background with the Seas the Day rubber background stamp. This was layered onto black cardstock, and wrapped with black twine before placing it onto the card base.
I die cut the the pocket using the Three Pockets die, and then stamped the pattern on to another pocket using the Twilight ink and Sweater Weather rubber background stamp. A panel was stamped with the same stamp, and then layered on the card using the Scalloped Rectangles die set. After adhering the pocket to the card, I added a tag from the Large Stitched Tags dies to the inside of the pocket.
This sweet hippo from Hippo Holidays clear stamps was colored, and then hand cut out. I thought the Stump and Twig die was perfect, so I die-cut, and colored it up. As you can see the hippo was placed on the stump, and the leaves and berries were added to mimic look of mistletoe.
Don’t you think this is the perfect sweet Christmas card? I personally think this set is adorable! Remember it is only available while supplies last, so, hurry, hurry! You will have links to the stamp/die combo or just the stamp set below.
