Every year we notice most stamp brands issue Christmas stamps in June (if not before!!) and we think nahhh, let's wait until September, well this year we have gone and done it, what a shock to the system creating Christmas samples in 35+ degrees of SW France heat! Hence the warm colour palette! Regardless, they are really nice classic images to use, and I am sure you will have some fun with these too!
Price: RRP €23.00 +VAT
Size:5" x 6" (13 x16.5cm)
All stamps are individually trimmed onto cling foam, with a laminated storage/index sheet.
This set has one focal stamp, but lots of embellishment stamps, making it a handy one to have. From tags and banners to name plates and greetings, this one will be useful for tags, wrapping paper as well as cards.
Hot Picks Xmas Set 10 (HPXM10)
Bugsy Tree
We have a neighbour here in France, who owns what we affectionately call a 'Bugsy' car. It is an Alvis 1920's or 30's car, black and the focal of this stamp set reminds me of it a lot! It's a nightmare for him to drive as the accelerator and brake are in opposite positions, if he had the courage to drive it to the garden centre to get a tree at Christmas, this is eactly what is could look like!
As is often the case, i started out by making a bunch of gel printed backgrounds. I think Rusty (a Seth Apter colour) is fast becoming my most favourite colour because it seems to go with any other colour so easily! You can see the numbers (a deconstructed 25) are in rusty paint.
The car in this sample was 'Mattinted' in Pink ..which kind of made the car look deep purple on top of the black ink. Which led to the reindeer postal stamp also getting pinked!
Framed
this all led to another variation, with a few button embellishments, and a frame layer using those handy little square postage stamps
Xmas set 11 is certainly a card makers delight. Classic emblems of Christmas

Wreath
This wreath was struggling to pop off the background, but once I added some Mattints and red paint to the berries, it all came to life beautifully.
You can see the halo from the Mojito Mattint
Oh Christmas Tree
I somehow figured out a way to do splotchy gel prints, and after making a whole sheet of splotchy splatty prints, I started on overstamping with images. Unfortunately my favourite part of the sheet was wasted because the ink pad needed re-inking, but I'm still happy with hoe this turned out!
I think we left the best for last, allthought we are not supposed to have favourites.... but there is a lot to pick from on this set!

Nutcracker
Who deosn't love a nutcracker .... well I do! A little bit of whimsy, they could make great place names at the Christmas table
Antler Alert
Tagged
The smaller elements (candy cane, snowflake, ice skate) are going to be useful for tags. I had a lot of fun adding other stamping from the numerous embellishment stamps too
Useful for all manner of backgrounds, we think this is going to be a staple, not too much noise and lots of gorgeous vintage fonts!
