Stamping Bella - Caroling Chicks Digital Stamp - Christmas In July!

Hello friends!  

I hope you are all well and Monday isn't too Mondayish!

 

I'm back again to show you another super digital stamp set from fabulous Stamping Bella!

Stamping Bella Caroling Chicks Digital Stamp Set

Don't you just love that little chick on the right with his wings over his ears! (:

I combined this beautiful digital stamp with a Stamping Bella rubber Stamp - one of my festive favourites.

I used the Fa La La La La sentiment twice and cropped the second one to remove the Fa to create a longer sentiment.

...just incase this is useful...

I use PowerPoint to create my digital card designs,

I have a fairly basic HP printer and I set my ink settings on draft to print, the image comes out beautifully and there isn't so much ink that it smudges or is affected by pencils/alcohol markers.

Concord and 9th - Sleigh Full Of Cheer

 Hello everyone ...

Well - I said I'd be back and I meant it!  (:

This card was made with a fabulous Concord & 9th Stamp & Die Set from our lovely 

Dies To Die For

Sleigh Full Of Cheer

Ingredients From Dies To Die For

Concord & 9th Sleigh Full Of Cheer Stamp & Die Set

Whimsy Stamps Polka Dot Stencil

(You can also use Whimsy Stamps It's Snowing Stencil)

Picket Fence Paper Glaze Velvet - Winter Snowfall

Lawn Fawn Favourite Flannel Petite Paper Pack

Pink Fresh Studio Black Hybrid Ink Pad

I used a selection of paper scraps I'd had for ages to make the gifts - any paper would be effective for this!

The sleigh was die cut three times and the pieces layered together.  I then coloured it with Copic Markers.

Thank you so much friends for your ongoing support, it really does mean a lot to me - particularly during a rather odd year!

wishing you all wonderful Christmas time and if you don't celebrate - wishing you just a wonderful time!

Happy crafting!
