Happy TGIF Helmar fans!! Carole here today to bring you a holiday card idea using the fabulous PSA Essentials stamps! I've never used PSA stamps before now, but I'm so glad to have discovered them. I get a little nervous when it comes to stamping so this stamping system is perfect for me because it is a sure fire, no fail way to get a perfect stamped image. Not to mention they have some of the cutest designs around town!! Now I know some of you may cringe thinking of Chrismtas in July, but honestly it's a great time to get those cards made and not have the pressure of time on your shoulders as it gets closer to the holidays. I've never succeded at this myself, but I'm gonna try to see if I can get a bunch of cards done ahead of time especially since one of the PSA Essentials stamp sets I was sent is perfect for the job. There are nine different images in this set and they are these super cute and wintry stick figures.
The papers I chose to use on this card are glittered cardstock from Core'dinations and patterned paper by The Robin's Nest called "Winter Retreat Snowflake". The fun little crystlas are called dew drops and are also made by The Robin's Nest. I used Helmar Premium craft glue to assemble the layers of my card, Helmar Zapdots under the stamped image and Helmar Gemstone Glue to adhere the dew drops to my snowflake which was cut using the Cricut cartridge "Winter Woodland".
Whichever stamp set you use from PSA Essentials, it's sure to be fun and spark some great ideas! I just love how the center images interchange with the outer band stamp and you can also use them on their own! Also, if you didn't know, you can get personalized PSA stamps! I'm thinking that would be a great monogram gift, especially for newlyweds! Happy crafting everyone and have a Very Mery Summer!!
