Candy Cane Lamp Post

I pulled out a stamp set I hadn’t used yet.
Christmas Magic stamp set is an amazing set.
I flew past it in the catalog many times
and finally I had to order it.

It gives you a very vintage look.
I paired it with the diagonal stripe Seasonal Masks
for a candy cane look.

Merry Medley meets Paisleys

For today’s card I used the Merry Medley stamp set.
I bought two of the Merry Medley stamp set — one I use
as is but the other one — look out.
I cut it all apart so I had individual words and
phrases.  This gives you LOTS of stamps for your money.
