I have the last sketch of the year for Freshly Made Sketches and our friend Jen Brum has given us one that will be fun to use throughout the holiday season. As soon as I saw it, I saw exactly what I wanted to use!
This beautiful NOEL is from the Floral Noel suite of products by Honey Bee Stamps. It comes with stencils, dies and a stamp set. I played with inking the stencils using Distress Inks and I love the fun result. Those little flowers around the letters can actually be inked without the letters too and there are separate dies to cut them. Makes this set versatile even after the holidays! After all the inking, I simply cut out the letters using those die cuts from the set.
I also inked up the banner from the same set and added a sentiment from the coordinating stamp set. For the background, I found this paper from an older paper pack and loved how the letters stood out on it. I added foam tape behind the letters for some extra dimension and that is it. Flat for easy mailing and I created an envelope for the mini-slimline card using an older envelope set.
The team was super clever in their interpretations and I think you will find it easy to use too. I hope you are able to get some crafting time in over the next few weeks and join us. I’ll be back tomorrow (I hope) with a new project. See you then!
