Today’s first featured stamp set is Primitive Blessings by Gina K Designs:

I love the style of this set! Here’s my primitive holiday card:

Once again, I used the Primitive Blessings Studio Cut File to make this card quicker to assemble (can you tell I’m hooked on my Cameo?)! The darling house was stamped on Gina’s Ivory cardstock and colored with the Copic markers listed below. It and the cute sheep are popped up on foam tape.

{Primitive Blessings Additional Supplies}
Paper: Gina K Designs Heavy Base Weight Cardstock-Sandy Beach & Ivory; Authentique 6x6-Festive
Ink: Memento Bamboo Leaves, Love Letter & Toffee Crunch
Copic Markers: R24, E41, E42, E43 & Red Atyou Spica Glitter Pen
Spellbinders Dies: Classic Circles Large
Accessories: Primitive Blessings Studio Cut File; Silhouette Cameo; foam tape, ribbon, button

And finally, the new One Free with 3 set this month is Seasonal Labels:

It’s that time of year again, when the weather is cooling down and a good mug of hot tea hits the spot! So I dressed up a jar of my Spiced Tea mix, to get an early start on holiday gifts:

You can find my tea recipe here. I loved the combination of this sweet angel from the Primitive Blessings set, with this pretty “Wishing you peace” sentiment.

The Seasonal Labels Studio Cut File was cut and then stamped with the pretty swirly label onto Sandy Beach cardstock. The angel was also stamped on this cardstock and colored with the Copic markers listed below and her wings accented with Clear Spica Glitte Pen (I love how well it shows up on this cardstock)!
