PPA232 Sketch Challenge with my Pals
Thursday has come and gone but we can still play with Pals Paper Arts. Take a break from your hectic holiday preparation with the PPA232 sketch challenge.
My favorite photopolymer stamp set this year has got to be Christmas Bliss (#138897. The bold sentiments with the touch of modern whimsy make it perfect for a bold sketch like this one.
The bold layers shown on this sketch shout texture to me. Texture equals embossing folders, don’t you think? To follow the whimsical theme of the stamp set, choose a couple different patterns. Since it’s the winter holiday season, I chose textures reminiscent of candy canes (Stylish Stripes #132174) and snowfall (Decorative Dots #133520).
 Stylish Stripes TIEF #132174 |
 Decorative Dots TIEF #133520 |
This set really didn’t get the “air time” that other holiday stamps enjoyed this year. So sad. Why? Well, since it was an Online Only set, it wasn’t in the holiday catalog.
Christmas Bliss Stamp Set #138897
If you think it’s a little late to feature a Christmas stamp set for 2014, you would be correct. This is for all of you “next-year preppers”. You know who you are (me too!) We hunt for left-over Christmas boxes, wrapping paper and decorations to store away for next year. Get this one before it retires!
A few more Christmas Bliss ideas. . . .

Rae this was one of my favorite sets as well. I love the many textures you created on your card. The striped embossing and the stripe in the DSP. Very cute!

Happy holidays Rae! I have this set out ready to decorate the polka dot bags tonight. Thanks for an idea of a card too! It is fresh, bright and cheery! Perfect for a dreary winter day! That almost looks like a delicious candy cane with it’s cute stripes. Love the trees on the envelope. I always seem to forget about that. Not this time~!
