Inspiration for Christmas with Michael Strong Stamps and GIVEAWAY!



As you all know, I am a big fan of 
Michael Strong rubber stamps.
From all the Christmas baubles, the snowman
is my favourite.

I was wondering which one is your favorite?
Please leave a comment and 
I have some stamps to GIVE AWAY!

Winner will be announced on Wednesday December 19.

More inspiration for Christmas:
The large reindeer bauble.
Each of the bauble sets comes
with 2 stamps: a large and a small one
of the same design.

Here I used the small size dove stamp
in combination with a city scape thinlit
by Stampin'Up!

The last one of the Christmas ornaments is the 
Stockings ornament. Here I used the large one.
It is embossed with white embossing powder 
and next I used a tiny bit of bistre walnut powder
to color the paper in the background.

SO......WHICH of the ornaments
is YOUR favourite?
Don't forget to leave a comment.

Thank you for looking
and have a creative day!

They are all so pretty! But I think my favorite is the Dove Ornament Stamp

I like the ornament with the dove on it because it leaves room on the card to add other things like your scenery.

The snowman is my favorite, too! I adore snowmen and have a small collection of handmade snowmen. Your cards are all lovely, Hetty.

I love the dove ornament as it speaks to my dream of peace. The stamp has a beautiful, graceful shape as well.

Best wishes to you Hetty!

Hi Hetty, Merry Christmas!!! I Love the Dove Card with the city scape. It is so clean and crisp. It keeps our eyes on the meaning of the holiday which is the birth of Christ in the City of David. The perfect Christmas Card!

Organic said...

Hi Hetty! Merry Christmas! I always like viewing your cards. Love them all and my favorite one is the Dove Card. May the Lord bless you and yours now and throughout the new year!!!

Hetty, I think my favorite is the dove, but each card has its own beauty. You've done a wonderful job Hetty!!

Beth Norman-Roberts said...

Lovely work, Hetty. It's hard to pick just one, but since I should, I chose the first card. I love the elegance to it.

Merry Christmas, Hetty! I have to say I love them all... Michael Stong is a genius, and you showcase his art so well. My favorite? Hmmmm..... the reindeer I think with all the swirlies!

Juliet A said...

The ornaments are some of the best stamps Michael has designed. I have to admit that I am partial to the reindeer mostly because I just love deer in general.

KT Fit Kitty said...

Your cards are gorgeous, Hetty! Snowman is definitely my favourite - I make a lot of snowman cards, although I don't think I made that many this year. Must remedy that! I don't have any of his stamps but I took a peek at his store and he's got some cute ones! Thanks for the lovely giveaway!

Lynn said...

The reindeer bauble is by far my favourite.
All your cards are lovely though, Hetty!

Annie said...

My favorite is the reindeer ornament.

Laura said...

All of these cards of yours are so beautiful!! I don't know if I can choose!!! I love the texture of the Snowman card-that embossed background sets off all the other elements so well! Love the bister background beneath the stockings ornament. And the peace ornament looks so pretty with the greenery above the sweet city scape. Sweet reindeer ornament too! THanks for sharing your art with us!

Raevon said...

Thank you for sharing your beautiful cards. My favourite is the reindeer. Happy Christmas.

Dee'zines said...

Well, I'm partial to snowmen, reindeer and doves (oh yes, and stockings hanging from the mantle.... Since I have the Bethlehem edgelits from Stampin Up, I'd select the dove. We all need more peace.

The reindeer is my favorite. I have always loved Rudolph the red nosed reindeer and this stamp reminds me of that. Thank you.
