Hello and welcome to my happy place, where I love to show you my creative side and new projects. Today I'm once again focusing on current stamp sets from Stampin' Ups! Holiday Mini Catalogue.
 |
| The Christmas Scottie Bundle includes the stamp set and the Christmas Scottie Dog Punch. |
Here's My Card:
 |
| This is the front of the card when it is closed. The center panel is the easel portion. |
 |
| Here you can see the Scottie on the bottom acts as the anchor for the easel mechanism. |
 |
| This is the inside of the card. I love the ribbon stamp in this set. |
 |
| I used the blends to create the night sky, starting with Balmy Blue and then Starry Sky inks. When I was satisfied with the saturation I spray a fine mist of water and then blotted it off with paper towel to make it look like it was snowing. |

Hi Penny,
When I first saw the Christmas Scottie stamp set, I thought the Scottie dogs were soooo cute. There is another sitting dog in the set, but your choice gave more action to the card. You made this one to look like he is really excited about Christmas and the snow.
My eyes just slid past the Caroling Mice set when I first saw it, but you sent me to take another look when you brought this set to life with possibilities. I think I like the mice a bit better than the Scottie dog.(But just a teensy bit.)
OMG..these are so stinking CUTE!! Love them. TFS.
