October Stamp of the Month: Holiday Magic

This is the card I created using the October Stamp of the Month - Holiday Magic.  I used the Wonderland paper packet and Dark Chocolate Striped Grosgrain ribbon.  I used Liquid Applique on the white dots at the top of the stocking to give some dimension.  If you have not used Liquid Applique, YOU NEED TO TRY IT!  You simply apply it to your artwork, heat it with a craft heater and it "puffs" up - very cool!

These are the cards made by the swap group.  We each use a different paper packet with the Stamp of the Month to show the versatility of the Close To My Heart products.  Featured Artists are:
Julie Nilsson, Jodi Frank, Randa Wacaster, Cathlene Burk, Bertha MacMillan, Krista Staton, Vicki Price, LeAnne Dudley, and myself.

The Stamp of the Month is available at full price for $17.95 or spend $50.00 and get the Stamp of the Month for: $5.00!
