Tis the Season . . .

I made my first Christmas card of the season . . . and it was 100 degrees outside.  I am shocked it's almost Halloween . . . and completely unprepared for the Christmas trees and Santas that will soon take over the aisles of Target and Safeway.  Tis the season . . . yes, indeed.  I call this the season to start thinking about the season.  It's the time of the year when you start to thinking it would be nice to sip some eggnog and actually feel like toasting your toes by the fire.

Right now it's just hot outside and the thought of a pumpkin spice latte or even a hot chocolate is a little too much to comprehend.  And yet, the season will be here!

So, to get in the mood, I pulled out my embossing gun (it was very dusty) and of course, I thought Santa and his reindeer would look mighty festive in some gold embossing.  I even added some fun flock to Santa's hat and coat!  What is fun flock, you say?  It's this amazing stuff that makes your artwork have fuzz.  It looks great on a sheep or a snowman too!  Using a light weight glue, like the CTMH Bonding Memories Pen Z553, color the area you want flocked.  Then add some of the flock (it's like shredded up felt) Z263 . . . let it dry for a few minutes and then tap the excess off.  It really adds bedazzle to any artwork or project.

Stamps not shown at actual size.

For the Santa card I used the stamp of the Month for October, Share the Magic.  The set is only available through October 31st.  For more information, please visit my website: http://stampedbyme.myctmh.com

If you are interested in fun flocking or embossing, you can purchase it, as well as the cute stamp set above, on my website at http://stampedbyme.myctmh.com . . . just a few dollars can get you on the track to some flocking good fun!  The season though, well, can't it just take a while longer to arrive?  :-)
