November technique challenge

The Christmas tradition of kissing under the mistletoe, inspired me to set this week's challenge of 

stamp kissing.

This is when you ink up a stamp and then kiss it onto another stamp before stamping down onto your project.  

This technique gives wonderful textures and patterns, and can

really stretch your stamp supplies, giving new and different images from your stamp collection. 

If this technique is new to you, there is plenty of help on YouTube,

such as Jennifer McGuire's tutorial

or on Splitcoaststampers

or by our very own Andreja

So I challenge you to give this technique a go - can't wait to see what you come up with!

Joining us as Guest Designer this week is the very talented

November theme challenge

The term ‘fairy lights’ was first coined in 1882 at the Savoy Theatre, London, UK. Originally used on the dresses of the lead fairies in a stage production, they were used a year later in a publicity stunt to adorn a Christmas tree by a colleague of Thomas Edison, Edward Johnson, who became the first person to put fairy lights on a Christmas tree. This idea was copied around the world and a new Christmas tradition was born.

Fairy lights - also called twinkle lights, holiday lights, mini lights, Christmas lights, and more - are now very much a well-loved part of Christmas we use to decorate our homes and Christmas trees.

So for this week's challenge, we would like to see you use fairy lights on your cards, to bring a little magic and light to the festive season.
