Control Freaks December Blog Hop

Hi everyone and welcome to another great blog hop from the Control Freak Stampers! The theme this month is Technique Junkies. You may have arrived here from Bree Renwick at Craft-Somnia Momma.  I’ll have your next link at the bottom of this post.

At least one of my customers will be getting a Stamparatus for Christmas. She asked if I would show a technique for using her new tool with the Cup of Christmas stamp set. This is such an adorable stamp set and could easily be used after the holiday. This technique shows how to stamp multiple die cuts perfectly every time!

To embellish the card, I used several accessories from the Holiday catalog including the Toile Tidings Glitter Enamel Dots and Real Red Curly Ribbon. For the poinsettia, I stamped first in Garden Green ink onto Whisper White card stock. After die cutting, I used the Clear Wink of Stella to blur the lines and add some color.
