Oct sotm - scandanavian wishes

Welcome to this months stamp of the month blog hop.  You should be coming from { Lalia Harris }. Next in this hop is { Sarita Schraeder }.

This stamp set is made for Christmas.  I made this simple card using Frosted papers.  The snowflake stamps are stamped with versamark.  You may be asking, "I didn't see these stamps in the book"  They aren't.  But they are still available.  They are a cricut coordinating stamp set, which are always available.  The large snowflake is from the new Artbooking cart.  This cart can be used for cards as well as scrapbooking and mini books.  I made sure to use the real dial size when cutting the snowflake.  I decided to make the simple card a little more with sparkles.  I believe the brad in the center of the snowflake is retired.  But sometimes you need to use up your stash.
 
This next card went to another holiday.  I saw the bird and thought valentine bird.  I masked the leaf the bird was holding with washi tape.  you can use washi tape for some many things and masking is a great one because of the low tack the tape.  I used a small heart from babycakes wotg.  Love is stamped with our new E sized stamps.  This was going to be a one layer card, but kept smudging the card.  The banner covers up the smudges.  Note : when stamping, have some sort of wet wipes around to clean your hands to avoid smudges.   
I hope you enjoyed this showcase of scandanavian wishes.  To purchase your own, check out my website at nikkageers.ctmh.com.  This stamp is $5 when you purchase $50.
