Hope you're all enjoying this good weather we're having this weekend - it feels like summer came back for one last blast.
I've been playing with the new release from Concord and 9th this weekend - it is such a strong release I love it ALL but I a sucker for a fun font so the first thing I wanted to play with was the Trim the Tree stamp but with a bit of a santa twist.
I started with some kraft cardstock and heat embossed the two large sentiments in copper embossing powder and then topped them with a santa face from Hero Arts coloured with pencils.
To create the cards themselves I took some kraft base cards and stamped a plaid pattern on using the new plaid background stamp from Concord and 9th using red for the main image and embossing the lines over the top in copper to tie the looks together.
I couldn't decide if I liked it better with or without a red matt layer so I did one of each - which do you prefer?

Great cards - I think I prefer the one with the red layer. Thanks for the store update too.
