When the temperatures get in the high 80’s and above everyone looks for ways to escape the heat. I have a great suggestion: find a good fan if you don’t have air-conditioning and spend the day STAMPING! The best spot in my stamp room is right under the ceiling fan. To further take your mind off the heat’ stamp Christmas cards! If you start now, you will have all your cards made and ready to mail in early December.
The 2018 – 2019 Annual Catalog has a nice selection of Christmas stamps, designer series paper, and accessories on pgs. 92 – 103. Check them out. Some of my favorite stamps and dies from last year’s Holiday catalog are there and there is a beautiful dis-INK-tive stamp Stylish Christmas (wood – 146770, clear – 146773). Click on the numbers to go to my online store to order your stamp set.
Dis-INK-tive stamps are a new type of rubber stamp that gives dimensional shading in just one stamp. Areas of the rubber are cut deeply to hold more ink and other areas are shallowly cut to hold less ink. Sponging the ink on the stamp or using the sponge brayer yields excellent results.
My final words for you are…Be Cool…Stamp! 🙂
