I love the new Delivering Cheer stamp set in the August-December Mini Catalog from Stampin' Up! It is one of the stamp sets that jumped out at me the first time I flipped through the catalog. It has some fun images that you can mix and match to make holiday cards or tags for Christmas gifts. And it is perfect for using the paper piecing cardmaking technique. I love this rubber stamping technique for coloring in images because it is easy and super cute! So, on y go! Let's get stamping.

Use the paper piecing technique to color in your line art images like those in the Delivering Cheer stamp set from Stampin' Up! Sample card designs also use the Peaceful Prints scrapbooking paper that you can get for FREE during Sale-A-Bration 2021.

Do you use a stamping platform when you're making cards? One of the fun feature's of Stampin' Up!'s stamping platform, the Stamparatus, are the removable and repositionable plates. This feature can be used with some stamps to do what is called hinge-step stamping. This is a fun technique that works great with the Biggest Wish stamp set. Stamping platforms are also fabulous for re-stamping the same image in the same location. See how I stamp multiple times to get colored images on black cardstock to create some fabulous birthday cards. On y go! Let's get stamping.

Stamp in colors on black using a stamping platform, like the Stamparatus from Stampin' Up! and white ink. These fun birthday cards were easy to make with the Biggest Wish stamp set.
