Did you know that you can use ‘non-holiday’ stamps to create Christmas cards? This is a great way to make a personalised design for that someone special and today Therese shares 2 ways to do just that!
Hi it’s Therese, and today I have the Little Lady featured on Christmas cards. I know, I know, she is not a ‘Christmas’ stamp but by adding a little few bits and pieces I wanted to share how easy it is to change it up.
The Bear Ware 5 set is a great ‘add-on’ set for this idea and for my first design I grabbed the tangle of lights.
Next it needed a Christmas sentiment and the Sparkly Christmas stamp was perfect, though I did stamp the remainder of the sentiment which says ‘said no one ever’ on the inside (this cracks me up every time).
This next card also uses another great ‘add-on’ stamp set for a Christmas design and it’s called Santa’s List. By simply adding a tree, list, hat and a present this Little Lady is certainly ready for Christmas!
And now to add the perfect sentiment ‘naughty or nice?’ I reached for the Retro Holiday Greetings Stamp Set.
Can you see the possiblities for your stamps? What a great way to make that special card for someone you love and mix and match products that you may already have with a few of your new faves!

As beautifully as you color, my friend, I think I like the black and white version the best! I know! CRAZY, right? I wonder if the little string-of-lights gal has asparagus in her bib pocket? That’s where I hid mine!
Fannnn-tabulous, Therese!

I’m sure that’s where her asparagus is lol.
Love that little lady and all the creative ways you used her! The next time I get a money gift, I might be able to buy her!
She is a real sweetie I agree and perfect for any occasion! Thanks so much Barbara!
Super great ideas for getting more use from your stamps.Your cards are so cute and creative. I love the ‘sparkly’ sentiment too.
