Welcome to the October Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! We will be featuring October’s Stamp of the Month, Very Merry Christmas, a set of 11 stamps. If you have came here from Nancy’s Blog, you are on the right path. The blog hop is a great big circle, you can start here and work your way around. If you get lost along the way, you can find a complete list of participating consultants here.
All of the shapes from Very Merry Christmas coordinate with the Cricut Artistecartridge. So simple to mass produce images for the upcoming holiday season. I cut my main image with the coordinating Artiste ornament shape. I then stamped three different images. I stamped one image on New England Ivy, one on Cranberry and one on Colonial White. I stamped the New England Ivy and Cranberry with Versamark Ink and embossed in clear ink. I stamped the Colonial White with Cashmere Pigment Ink and embossed in clear. I then cut out the individual pieces and paper pieced the ornament together. The ornament has great dimension in person!
