Can you believe it? Here comes

Christmas. This is one of my favourite times of the year, as I am able to share my passion of creating beautiful gifts using my favourite rubber stamps, dies, ink, and paint. This year, as a gift for my daughter Nikki, I decided to create a photo montage—a gorgeous wall display that she can leave up year-round.

I used an amazing Christmas-ish die— Noel Decorative Die from Heartfelt Creations—to do the backgrounds on all three of the handmade frames. I referred to the die as “Christmas-ish” because it was designed as part of their Christmas angel series, however, it was perfect for this “Every Summer Tells a Story” custom-made gift.

I then created a matching Christmas card that uses the beautiful Heartfelt Creations angel stamp included in this collection. To make the background for the Christmas card a little more Christmas-y I simply added a shading of blue and a gorgeous silver ribbon.

To you and yours I wish you the very merriest of Christmases and happiest of New Year’s. Have fun sharing your passion with your loved ones through handmade gifts, cards, tags, and more that are “handcrafted from the heart.”
