2015 Holiday Catalog Countdown Day 1: New Product

Today over at SSINKspiration we are on our last day of the Holiday Catalog Countdown!  Today we don't have a specific topic.  We are just showing you anything from the Holiday Catalog!

Today I used the NEW stamp set, Your Presents...

A kiss makes a great present. Try the kissing technique with this stamp set. Ink the patterned stamp, then stamp it on the solid stamp to transfer the pattern. Then stamp your project using the solid stamp. It's an easy way to get even more options from an already-packed set.

Here is my card...

I hope that you enjoyed our Catalog Countdown!  Please be sure to head on over the SSINKspiration main blog today to see what the other Design Team Members created for you!  You won't want to miss these great cards!!

Kid Themed Birthday Cards

Today over at SSINKspiration we are showing you a few Kid Themed Birthday ideas!

Today I am showing you the Thank You cards from my son's Star Wars birthday party!

I love using the Thick Whisper White Cardstock for card bases.  From there I just used a stencil to create silhouettes of Yoda and Darth Vader.  Yoda is made out of Old Olive cardstock and Darth Vader is Basic Black cardstock.

This design was VERY easy to duplicate as well!
