Christmas with non-Christmas stamps



You don't always have to buy special Christmas stamps to make your Christmas cards. Sometimes you just have to look at the stamps you have in a different way. This general tree from Stampotique, can easily be made to look wintry with simple colouring, and the addition of white flower soft or glitter. The tiny bird from Jo Capper-Sandon's range can easily be made to look like a robin redbreast with the appropriate colouring



all stamps are from , I made this for the Happy Daze challenge (where you can purchase your stampotique stamps)

  7. I totally agree about using other stamps to make Christmas cards and the other way round too! I love your robin card and the snowy effect you've got here.

  8. Hi Jo I love this idea and used your technique to inspire me for some Christmassy cards for charity cards. Very quick and easy. I will put some on my blog. In the meantime I loved your article in the new Craft Stamper too!! So much inspiration from you and the other designers. Love it. x
