I love using My Digital Studio to make hybrid cards.  The digital downloads save $ and space!  I wanted to play around with the sillouette stamps in Welcome Christmas.  I printed one in Very Vanilla and one in Basic Black.  I added some shadows and background paper before I printed the images.  Then mounted on cardstock bases.

The Pantone color for 2011 was just announced – Honeysuckle.  It looks a lot like our Melon Mambo which was introduced as an IN COLOR recently and then moved into the regular color palette this summer.  Funny,  I was tired of the snowy weather so had just finished up 100 swap cards for Leadership featuring this cheerful color!   I […]

The idea for this gift is from Angie at chicnscratch.  I covered the outside of the tin cover with sticky strip and then silver glass glitter.  For the inside cards and Hershey nuggets I used the Holly Jolly DSP and Tags Till Christmas Stamp set.  You still have time for Christmas delivery at www.kwstamps.stampinup.net
