Rubberstamps.com - Deck the Mail Holiday Contest

 

Welcome to the Rubberstamps.com Deck the Mail Holiday Contest!  This contest is limited to Instagram so if you don't follow me there (what???!!!) you should.  My IG handle is Julie Peddicord ... very original, don't you agree?  

As designers for Rubberstamps.com we were each given a holiday/winter stamp set of our choosing.  Our only rule was that we needed to create a coordinating envelope along with our card.  I chose the All is Calm, All is Bright stamp set and created three different cards to illustrate just how versatile a silhoutte stamp set can be.  (I believe I utilized all but the star outline stamp in my designs.)

 

In this version I stamped the images and sentiment in black pigment ink onto

 Neenah Desert Storm cardstock, adding in some glitter glue to serve

as snow.  The white trees were heat embossed onto a kraft envelope.  

In this version I used the bench and Santa stamps.  I white heat embossed 

them onto black cardstock and added splatters of white ink to serve as snow.  

The envelope was adorned with a single house and tree.  This was stamped

in black and heat embossed in clear to prevent smudging in the mail.  

The sentiment is from a Simon Says Stamp set in my stash.

On my final card I opted for a bit of color.  I chose a mini slimline design to  which I added

some ink blending of Distress Oxides to achieve a night sky. The neighborhood feel was 

achieved by overlapping stamp sets (black pigment ink)  to create a street view.  I added 

another Simon Says Stamp sentiment from my stash as well as some white pigment ink 

splatters for snow.  The Santa sleigh and sentiment were stamped in black onto a grey 

envelope and then heat embossed in clear to prevent water smudging in the mail.

So you're probably thinking "What's the Contest?"  Good question!  And here's your answer....
