Glittering Cozy Ornaments


 Something about glitter markers and pens work so well with the new Technique Junkies Ornament Branch stamp. The sentiment is from the Cozy Christmas Sentiment Set of 7 - the length of this stamp is just perfect for the Ornament Branch! The gold paper in the background is actually a piece of wrapping paper I have - isn't it exquisite? Better for cards than gifts, in my opinion!

Cat in a Christmas Light Nest


 Cats are notorious for nesting in comfortably (?!) everywhere! Our Merry Catmas stamp (set of 2) celebrates the charm of cat antics. The background uses an ACLD layered Christmas Lights stencil with the ink blended colors matching the colors on the cat panel.

You may find the Merry Catmas stamp here:

Glittery ornaments


 It might be a little hard to make out, but out die cut Merry Christmas card is layered over the Doodle Ornaments stamp. I used a few glitter pens to highlight several areas of the ornament stamp, so in person they are glittery and fun. The stamp is from Technique Junkies.

Glassy Ornaments


 The Ornament Branch stamp is a perfect simple stamp for holiday cards, and works perfectly with the Glitter and Glow stamp. I used my trusty ol' Nuvo Glitter markers to color my ornaments, then covered them with Diamond Glaze to make them look glassy. Both of the stamps used on this Christmas card may be found here:

Newborn King with shining star


 Such a classic set of stamps for Christmas, right? Our Newborn King stamp (set of 2) is perfect with just a little gold embossing. The background uses the Technique Junkies Shining Star Stencil, which was "lightly embossed" with gold also. I was trying to get a softer, faded look with the stars so that the focal image on vellum would show up better. The stencil and stamp are available here:

Shimmering Doodle Ornaments


 The Technique Junkies Doodle Ornaments Stamp is a great backdrop for so many things. While it looks intimidating to color individually, it is also great with a simple colored background. I used Aladine Shiny Sprays to get my background effect. I also used some Diamond Glaze over several of the ornaments to highlight the them, then added the Merry Christmas sentiment from the Cozy Christmas Sentiment Set of 7. Both stamps are part of the October Technique Junkies New stamp release and are 15% off through October 8th (today). You can find both stamps here:
