Endless possibilities with Stampin' Up! Christmas Stamps

Well I managed to get some of the Christmas cards completed following my self set challenge on Wednesday. I love Stampin' Up! 's photopolymer Endless Wishes stamp set. I have so many ideas in my head using these Christmas stamps at the moment!

I started these cards at the same time as the Four Feather's birthday cards I shared on Monday. I used the same ink splatter technique i.e. squeeze some white ink on a flat surface (I used one of my acrylic blocks) and then mix a little surgical spirits/rubbing alcohol from an Aquapainter and then gently flick the brush over the card stock. It's great fun but be warned it's a little messy. Note to self: splatter the ink in a cardboard box next time. I got white ink everywhere - all over my camera, computer, drawer units. Everything on my desk basically ended up being splattered lol!

The Bedlam Brothers were fascinated by the process. They wanted to "help"! Ha ha - I will do this with them once we have the build work done and we have the room to make sure the walls don't get covered! We're a little cramped in at the moment. Downstairs we have one room that is functioning as a living/dining room and food prep room. I still have use of the oven and the sink in the kitchen but there are no work tops left.

I've made some of the Kraft ones for the school to sell at their Christmas fair in a couple of weeks. What do you think? Would you buy this sort of thing at a school fair? I'm doing a few other styles of cards as well, so hopefully they will sell.

Well that's it from me this week. I hope you have a fantastic weekend, whatever you may be doing - hopefully that will include some crafting!

Thanks for stopping by!
