Inspiring Angels Friday

We have a few more inspirational stamps with a focus on heavenly attendants, though not traditional images of angels they remind us of the Christmas story.

This House-Mouse Designs stamp, Angel Mice, is a cute reminder of the visiting angels in the fields. Kristine Reynolds created a card using this stamp that is so sweet with perfectly matched holly paper. Click the card image to take you instructions on how to create one of your own cards with this Angel Mice stamp.

Celebrating Christmas

The focus on our inspiration week directs us to the sacred Christmas stamps from our Inspiration collection. The beautiful nativity and manger scene stamps are great for creating ornaments, greeting cards and decor for the holidays. They are also perfect to add on Christmas Program scrapbook pages, too.

Inspirational Words

Our Christmas sentiments can be the inspiration for creating some treasured projects and cards. It’s easy to create by pairing them with one of our Christmas image stamps to complete your design. Here are a few ways our designs work together for a great finished card design.

The Unto Us verse with a drop letter can hold it’s own attention and still complements our Christmas images well.
