I'm very accustomed to stamping with a MISTI and these Advent calendar stamps don't do well with it. I tried stamping later using a stamping block and the impression was much better. On this one, after I colored the image with Copics, I did a lot of outlining with a fineliner. The bitty stamped flowers didn't fare so well with that so I covered them up with various bitty die cut flowers. I ink blended the ground and sky then die cut the panel with a stitched rectangle. Added it to an A2 card - done! You can see Crafty Al's short video on this set HERE.
I'll send this card to Darnell's January NBUS Challenge #82 since the stamps were newly used.
Next, I made a hello card with the strip embossing folder from Day 6 (Crafty Al's video HERE).
Supplies: Paper - Paper Studio ombre card;
Spellbinders Terracotta card stock; scraps
Embossing strip - Spellbinders 2025 Advent Calendar (Day 6)
Dies - Spellbinders Faux Stitched Sentiments & Floss (DOM-Apr24 retired)
Other - SSS printed sentiment strip & Starshine dots
I embossed a scrap of orange cardstock. Added to an A2 ombre card along with some scrap patterned strips. I had a HELLO die cut sitting on the table so die cut a white shadow and layered them for dimension. Added to the card along with a printed subsentiment strip and some Starshine dots.
That's it for today, my friends. Thanks for continuing to stop by & for commenting when you can! Have a crafty day!!

These are lovely! You're really making great use of the set!
I wonder if the stamps are just a wee bit thinner than “regular” stamps so they’re not making proper contact when they’re in the MISTI? Maybe worth trying a cardstock shim or two underneath if you haven’t already? Cute result though and you used the embellishment opportunity to good effect! Love the embossing folder pattern for the second card.
Delightful cards!!
That advent calendar keeps on giving and I am glad that you are using all the supplies. I especially love the thank you card. Just beautiful xx
Two darling cards, Linda! I love the little collage of elements on the first one!
Delightful cards Linda. That first one is just so adorable.
More fun and creative cards, Linda! Love that first one with the cute little mushrooms.
By using the small die-cut flowers, you have greatly enhanced the stamped design.
Perfect coloring and the 2nd card could be used for a guy or a girl with those colors and designs!
