It has been a while since I did a spotlight post, and I thought we would change things up a little. So here we are with a Sunday Showcase! I will also be back on Tuesday with a Spotlight Tuesday post. There’s always so much new, and so many new cards to look at, but I think older stamps and past creations from the design team deserve more time in the spotlight. So it’s fun to bring them out again, and take another look.
It’s full steam ahead with Christmas craft preparations, and I know so many of you are, like me, working on those Christmas cards. So let’s take a look at some festive inspiration to help get us in the mood!
We’ll be taking a look at inspiration for all of these stamps from the store! You can find more in our Christmas/Winter section on the website.
Our Teeny Tiny Townies are just adorable, and this one is so festive with that huge bauble!
I love this stamp, it’s so fun, and full of the warm humour the gnomes convey. Our Gnome stamp collection is filled with fun.
Watch me – Elaineabella – colour this rubber stamp using Copic markers.
This festive couple are perfect along with the Oddball Christmas Kids rubber stamp set and the Oddball Christmas Pets rubber stamp set, to create custom family Christmas cards!

This stamp always gives me warm cozy feelings. You can’t beat a cute penguin at this time of year. This one is definitely on my list to use this season!

What could be cuter than a trio of owls letting rip with some Christmas carols?

One of my favourite backdrops is this gorgeous Christmas themed backdrop stamp. It’s going to be getting an outing on some of my cards again this year for sure!

Hey friends!
We are in that Halloween home stretch so of course I’ve got one last spooktacular scene for this week’s Scenic Saturday card. I’ve been having so much fun mixing and matching old and new stamps that I decided to do it once again. This time around I inked up Tiny Townie Piper at the Pumpkin Patch and paired her with a twist on the new Tales from the Haunted Mansion stamp for a Halloween card that is too sweet to be scary.
Piper and her pumpkins were stamped first and because I wanted them to have a more Halloween vibe rather than Fall, I grabbed a 0.1 black multiliner pen and drew in some simple faces, transforming the pumpkins into glowing jack o’lanterns. The Haunted Mansion also got its own transformation when I chose not to ink up the books that the house rests on before stamping it into the background. This left me with just the mansion that I could then color into a spooky moonlit landscape. Omitting part of the original image on one and adding extra details to the other are both easy and effective ways to expand the uses for the stamps you already have in your crafty stash and have them help you tell a different story with them. Once Piper, the Haunted Mansion and the landscape were all colored in using Copic markers, I masked them both off before airbrushing the sky and full moon into the background. The sentiment from the Frightful and Delightful Sentiment set was stamped onto a word bubble die cut and glued just above Piper so that it would look like she is peeking out from behind those jacks with a friendly greeting. Hopefully this card has shown you how small changes here and there can have a big impact on the cards that you create. 🙂
Stay crafty my friends!
