I can't wait to show you what I created!

I'm so in love with the stamp set I used, the paper pack, AND the new Texture Paste we are carrying. All were incorporated into this card I made. I hope you love it too! 

I used the "Oh What Fun" stamp set, and coordinating Thin Cuts - no fussy-cutting for me! I love these fun images and have already made a few other cards I will be sharing at a later time. (You can also choose to buy the stamp set without the Thin Cuts, if you would like.)

The paper pack used is called 'Tis the Season. As you can tell, it has the traditional Christmas colors. 

And the new Texture Paste...❤❤❤ To create Santa, as I did, I actually stamped him three times:

• Once in Archival Black Ink on White Daisy cardstock (the base Santa). Using this ink removes the "bleeding" process. 
• Once in Candy Apple Ink on White Daisy cardstock where I cut out just the red parts you see - his hat and coat. Those were glued on top of the base Santa. 
• Then, once in Black Staz-on Ink on our NEW Stencil Sheets. This allowed me to create a stencil where I cut out the parts you see covered in paste. Fun, right?! 

I used Opaque Texture Paste on this Santa (and am looking forward to playing with the other types).

The stars and bursts were stamped in 2nd-generation Candy Apple, providing for a lighter hue. And a few Bitty Sparkles provided just the right amount of bling.
