Unfortunately, my stamps didn’t arrive in time for me to show you something with the brand new Vogue Abode set but here’s a little teaser.
Oooohh, I know, eh? And, of course, I couldn’t let you go without showing you a Paper Smooches card, even if it doesn’t use the new stamps. This one uses Santa Paws and features a fun post-holiday word from Santa. If you didn’t get Paper Smooches stamps in your stocking, you should definitely treat yourself on January 1st. 😉
This Santa is completely paper-pieced and the white parts were shaded with Copic markers. The skin colour is patterned paper. The brim of his hat, eyes/glasses and beard were all fussy cut/X-acto’d in one piece and adhered as the top layer.
Remember to check back here on Saturday to see if you are the lucky winner of Vogue Abode!
