#Simplestamping with Farm House Christmas

More #Simplestamping today and coloring!!  Coloring with a Wink of Stella Brush opens up an entire new world of Coloring and Coordination.  Farm House Christmas is an awesome Holiday Stamp set with matching Framelits, but here is what you can do with just the stamps.

I started with a Cherry Cobbler card base and 2 paper patterns from Festive Farmhouse designer paper.  I stamped directly to the Wood Grain pattern with Momento ink.  The Sentiment was stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink.

I used my ink pads for the color, Squeeze your ink pad until ink pools on the lid.  Use a Wink of Stella Brush as a paint brush and color away, and also add shimmer from the Wink of Stella!  Gray Granite and Mossy Meadow inks were also used.  Another Strip of Festive Farmhouse paper and Black Shimmer ribbon finish this Simple card.

#Simplestamping with Illuminated Christmas

This stamp set is Beautiful and Coloring is something we can all enjoy!  I started with a Crumb Cake card base and a Very Vanilla and Early Expresso mat.  I stamped in Early Expresso and used Water Color Pencils to color the Wise Men and the Star. 

I then used Saran wrap and Frost White Shimmer paint,  I added a bit of Copper Shimmer paint for the Ground.  Then tried to do a little shading around the edge of the card.....OOPS!!  It's a Cloud, It's a  Bird.....It's a SMUDGE!

And a bit of stamping on the inside......

Harvester's Stamping out Hunger!

Big thanks to Deb for her donation of 200 cards and Melissa for helping me stamp another 150 cards today!!  This is my third year stamping cards for Harvesters.  Such a rewarding cause to include a hand stamped card in the food boxes delivered by this Organization!

The Stamparatus is amazing when creating multiple cards!!  See this in action!  I stamped the Deer first, two stamps, same plate...boom!  Hand stamped the ground.  Added the Tree and inked up in Mossy Meadow.

Close the plate......

the stack goes so fast!  The dimension on this TREE is amazing.....a little heavy on the ink, remember to Tap, Tap those new ink pads!

And finally the sentiment in Real Red.

50 ready to fold and go.....

Here are the cute Snowmen we made today.....

Snowman and Greeting stamped with the Stamparatus.  Snowflakes random stamped and then fun coloring with markers!
