Christmas Double Gate Fun Fold

If you love making handmade Christmas cards with a little something extra, you’re going to love today’s Christmas Double Gate Fun Fold.  This Christmas Double Gate Fun Fold uses Christmas Crew Bundle paired with A Stitched Season DSP.  I loved the traditional patterns that A Stitched Season offers.  If you love this paper, keep in mind that it is on the LAST CHANCE LIST, so grab it while you can.  Also, one of my favorite Christmas sentiment stamp sets is still available from last year.  I used the Traditional Labels stamp set for additional sentiments.

Stamping Tips: 

I noticed when I stamped my gingerbread directly on a surface I did not get a solid Image.  See Image below.

 

 

But when I added the Stampin’ Pierce Mat with the Impressions Place I got a great solid image.

 

 

 

 

I would highly recommend combing the 2 together to get the best impression.

In my video, I share some tips on using colored pencils on top of the Stampin’ Blends.  Thanks to my dear friend Patty for this new addiction inspiration.  I love how it truly adds that pop of color to the image.
