Just over a year ago, I bought an adorable Nativity stamp set from Kraftin Kimmie Stamps. It was a bit of an impulse buy because I wasn’t sure how often I was really going to be able to use a Nativity stamp set – I try really hard not to buy product I won’t use for a bunch of projects, but I threw caution to the wind with this one!!!
The good news is that I have used it on a bunch of Christmas cards over the last couple of years. The even better news is that I figured out another project to use it on as well!
Recently, my mom received a special award called the Shepard Leadership award. Mom works as a teacher assistance in the Catholic school district in which I also work, and she was chosen out of thousands of employees to be one of 20 people to receive this award – recognition for those who demonstrate leadership and dedication in a way that Jesus did during his ministry. It was a well deserved award, and the other night, I finally figured out a way to say congratulations (besides in person at the ceremony that I was able to attend). Hopefully this little card will become a part of her mementos from the event!
I am going to add this little creation to the Kraftin’ Kimmie weekly challenge, themed “anything goes” – those are always fun ones! And if you are a Kraftin’ Kimmie fan, you need to check out the fun challenge for a guest designer for March too!
Stay tuned for a fun New Year’s project featuring some beautiful paper from Close To my Heart early next week! Thanks for stopping by!
Congrats to your Mom! What an honor!
Love that card, and stamp!
Thanks Laura, from both my mom and myself! 😉
Such a cute card!I love how the colours pop..I really need to buy some good markers..
Christina! I does make a difference to the intensity! I used to colour my stamps with watercolours, and the effect was beautiful, but I could never get the intense contrasts that I like! If that’s the look you like too, the markers really are worth the investment!
You can use that stamp as a Baptism card too! That would be cute. Congrats to your Mom on such a Great honor.
Wow! What a great event to use the image for!! Your card is just wonderful. So glad you entered the KKS Challenge, good luck 🙂
