A Holiday Gift For You!

Here's a holiday card using Stampendous' new House-Mouse Designs™ Birdie Gifts and Holiday Wishes Perfectly Clear Stamp Set.

This stamp is very versatile because it can be used for other occasions than just Christmas. Just change the color of the gifts and you're set. Not only that, but the Cardinal can easily become a Blue Jay or a Tufted Titmouse. Heck! You can even add leaves and flowers to the tree branches to give you a change of seasons!  I'll be revisiting this set to show you just that, so stay tuned.
