Hello Lovelies! The Festive Print Stamp Set from Tim Holtz's Stampers Anonymous 2023 Christmas Release was calling my name from the minute that I saw it. The bold lines make big impressions with minimal effort.
Join me as I paid them with two of the new Mini stencils to create a frosty duo of Christmas cards!
The full Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous 2023 Halloween Release includes 5 stamp sets and 3 stenscils in two different sizes and an additional set of mini stenciles. You can get it as a bundle, but each stamp and stencil set is also available to purchase individually from Simon Says Stamp.
Let's take a closer look at the stamp set that we'll use for this make:
In addition, we'll use one of the mini stencil sets and some of the newest Distress mediums to add some more texture to the cards:

I went in a bit of a distressed direction with these cards and it was scary that I would mess it up but I did a happy dance when it worked out!!!
Doesn't that ink look yummy over that Grit Paste???
Of course I could not resist adding a few baubles to this card too!
