Rare Earth Sweet Traditions

Christmas comes early in the crafting word and these are the Rare Earth Christmas stamps. They feature all the sweet sugary thing we love to eat at Christmas. There are so many stamps that it gives you endless possibilities when designing your cards. I really love these set of stamps and have enjoyed trying them out.

The wreath stamp is lovely and you can personalise it how you wish. I fussy cut the gingerbread men and candy cane to give the card dimension.

I love making z cards as they are so easy to make and very effective. I went to town and added lots of the stamped elements to decorate this card. The gingerbread house is really fun and matches with the other stamps.

I love making pop-up box cards and used the gingerbread standing on top of each other to give some height. Doesn`t it make you feel hungry looking at all these mouthwatering delicious goodies.

I used the Kit n Caboodle Essential Cards and Envelopes Vol. 2 to cut out this penny slider card. The gingerbread man spins around the card as you move it.

Another use of the wreath with the Christmas shaped biscuits this time. Again the biscuits were fussy cut.

The Christmas tree stamp is very detailed and looks beautiful when stamped and give a bit of colour.

I used the background stamps for the pattern behind the tree.

I stamped the mug in red and added clear embossing colour. It makes a strong statement on a card.

I fussy cut the centre of this card and suspended the biscuit bell using thread. The bow is really lovely.

I love Christmas pudding and this one looks really appetising. Oxide inks were used for the background. I drew lines on the card to look as though the decorations are suspended.

There are some wonderful sentiments that come with the set and I love the design and lettering of this one.
