The newest release from the Urban Design collection is called Holiday Spirit Sentiments. It is a collection of warm and cozy sentiments you can use for all of your holiday creations. I can hardly wait to show you some of mine. It will be available through Papertrey Ink on Sept 15th, 2010.
I am happy to share a quick and easy combination you can give your neighbour, postal worker, co-worker or friend! I love giving candles to people and even better I love decoration candles and creating a matching card to coordinate with it.
I used a technique called one sheet wonder where I did some repeat stamping on a single sheet of paper using two different colours of ink. Next I cut various strips and pieces and crafted them into two separate projects. I am really pleased with how they turned out.
