Monday with Lindsay's Stamp Stuff

This card was quick and easy to make using a snowflake from Lindsay's Stamp Stuff Warm Winter digital stamp set. Embossing using digital images is one of the hot topics on the crafting blogs lately so I just had to try it out for myself. I am happy to report that it was super easy. I printed the snowflake at 27% of size on glossy white paper. As soon as it comes out of the printer, sprinkle on your embossing powder (white in this case) and then heat using your heat tool. Easy peasy! The glossy paper gives you time to emboss before the ink dries. On regular card stock the ink dries too quickly to emboss using this method. Once the embossing was cool, I sponged ink on the white glossy paper to color it. You could print a whole sheet of the snowflake images then emboss and color them all at one time. What a great way to make several cards at once!



If you haven't tried using digital stamps yet, Lindsay has several freebies, including Christmas digital stamps, in the Lindsay's Stamp Stuff store on MyGraficO.


While you are there, check out her new Winter Printable Papers, Tags & Cupcake Wrappers . I have shown a preview, but you really need to see the larger pictures at MyGraficO to appreciate how easy it will be to make Christmas cards using this set.






If you are looking for inspiration on ways to use your LSS digital stamps, check out the Lindsay's Stamp Stuff group on MyGrafico. You can see projects posted by other people using LSS stamps and Lindsay has posted some great tutorials.

Now please take a moment to see the quick cards created by the rest of the DT.
