All Christmas, all the time....

It's that time of year when I (and most likely many of you) are in Christmas card making mode. So, with that being said, here's another Christmas card:


 And the inside:


After months of stalking, I mean, visiting their blog, I finally purchased some STAMPlorations stamps and stencils. They came in the mail the other day, and instead of putting them away and hoarding them (like I normally do), I actually used them right away!

I stenciled onto the newsprint paper, something I've never tried before and I must say, I like how it came out. I also traced around the design with a black Pitt Artist pen. I stamped the sentiment and heat embossed it in black. Both sentiments and the holly berries and leaf are from the same set. As a finishing touch, I added gold sequins.

I'd like to enter this at STAMPlorations November challenge - stamps & newsprint & the sketch

  5. LOVE the stenciling. And the papers. And the embossing. Okay, I like it all. :)

    And I have a rule that I can't put something away before I use it. It gives me focus to use stuff so I can buy more. There's just so much room in that basket.
