STAMPS: All About Christmas
DIES: All About Christmas, Build-A-Bell
TIPS:
- A Stardust Gelly Role can add a subtle, controlled shimmer for a frost kissed look.
- Stamping your sentiment in Kraft ink creates a softer look while still being easily ledglible. This works great when looking for a more rustic feel where black feels too harsh.
- You can use in to custom dye white ribbon to perfectly match your project.
