Before we get into 2025 and all of the new stamping fun we have in store for you, we need to clear some room! So we are saying a fond farewell to some of our older stamps.
Between now and the end of 3rd January you can order the stamps in our RETIRING STAMPS category with no limits on availability and a 30% discount. From 4th January onwards the discount will increase, but availability will be limited to the inventory we have on hand. So you can either order now and ensure you get the stamps you need, or you can take the risk and wait and see if you can snag them with a higher discount. Up to you!
MWAH!

Hello friends!
Amy here on the ol’ Blogabella with my final Scenic Saturday of 2024. I thought it would be fitting to end this year with a card featuring one of the most popular card making trends of 2024… postal themed. So I grabbed the cute little Oddball Carolers and made them the stars of this faux post card scene.
Now, the Oddball Carolers come as one single stamp but it was easy to cut them apart into three individual stamps so that I could mask and crowd them closer together into this smaller space. The most important thing to remember when doing this kind of layered stamping is to lift whoever is going to be in the back a little higher up. This gives the character the illusion of space, making them appear to be standing behind those in the front. Over on the fake postage stamp I added an ornament from the retired Little Bits Elves set and colored it to match the caroler’s clothing. Once the coloring was complete I masked off the kids again, as well as the stamp and space that says ‘post card’ so that I could use my Copic airbrush system to spray on the kraft looking background color. I made sure to stop short of spraying all the way to the bottom of the card so it would look like the carolers had some snow to be standing on. From there all I had to do was add the various postage themed accents, a bit of falling snow and this fantastic sentiment from the Christmas Sentiment set to complete this fun holiday themed ‘post card’. 🙂
Wishing all the sistahs a Merry Christmas and a crafty New Year!
