Hello St. Nick!

Turn up the Christmas tunes, put out the twinkling lights in the craft room, and get ready to tackle your holiday crafting to-do list with loads of inspiration from our designers and artsy friends as they feature the new stamps and dies from our Christmas 2018 collection!

Well, hello there, St. Nick! (30-502)

Birgit Edblom’s card certainly captures the vintage charm of this Santa stamp.

Design Details: Stamp 30-502 St. Nick onto Waterford High White watercolor paper with Jet Black Archival ink and paint with Daniel Smith watercolors. Fussy cut and then apply a light layer of Distress Ink around outer edge using an ink blending tool and a foam pad. Paint a piece of watercolor paper with neutral colors and stamp sentiment using Rusty Hinge Distress Ink. Dry emboss a piece of paper with a basic polka dot or snow embossing folder. From this panel, die cut an oval shape from the center and layer on top of neutral background. Adhere Santa inside of the oval.
