So, would you like to see the stamp set? 
It's a beautiful one...take a look!

When I saw this stamp set, I knew I had to bring out the heat embossing tool...and out it came. :) 

A very simple card, taken from the pattern design of one of our current card workshops..."WYW Happy Holidays Cardmaking Kit".  I was also inspired by my fabulous friend Gina Brandstetter & her amazing card she created with our new overlays.    

Let's talk about those overlays!  I took this picture with a glare - on purpose! :)  That way, you can see how this reflects light & adds a bit of shine to this Christmas card.  

Did you know that CTMH has a WONDERFUL pack of 12x12 overlays that can be cut to the size that you need?  

In our Annual Inspirations Idea Book, you can find the "All About the Gold" Fundamentals paper....here are the pattern designs included in this kit, and keep in mind these are ALL overlays (just like transparencies)   

The red arrow paper in this card design, comes from our Swan Lake paper collection.  This paper is perfect for so many occasions!

   

I backed the gold embossed star with SEA GLASS cardstock (eeek...I adore this "COLOR of the YEAR" shade), and mounted it with some 3D foam tape. 

I used clear sparkles & then colored them red with my ShinHan alcohol markers! Yes - alcohol markers can be used to change the color of anything...shimmer trim, sequins, sparkles & more! 

I hope you are enjoying this blog hop & are getting LOTS of ideas for when you get your own set of this months’ SOTM stamp set.  Happy Crafting to each of you! 

Now – it’s time to head over to Jen's blog to see what FABULOUS items she has created using this stamp set!
