MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!
Hellooooo! It’s Christmas! The Newborn King stamp set is so apt for today! I stamped with gold Encore ink and gold embossed with a heat tool on Vellum cardstock.

Whenever I buy gift wrap, even at christmas time, it is always with a view to being able to use it all year round. My prayers have been answered, upmarket brown paper, double sided, printed on one side and plain on […]
