This nutcracker stamp may be my find of the 2020 Christmas season. He's one of many nutcrackers in the Stamplistic collection. There are dies to help cut out all of the pieces if you want to layer them. Three of these are layered together and two are painted with Twinkling H20 watercolors. Love him!
As we near the end of this unusual year I find that I'm as happy to see 2020 in the rearview mirror as everyone else. This year of the pandemic has been tough on a lot of people and I'm no different than most...my job is now done from home, my shopping is done online and I drive up for my groceries and they load it in to my car. We eat at home or get carry-out. I miss my co-workers, I miss the occasional dinner out at our favorite restaurants and I don't miss grocery shopping. I won't lie...I may never go back to conventional grocery shopping again!
Thank God for art. Pandemic stress, work stress, election stress - I can shrug it all off in my studio and ignore the madness.
Here's what I'm working on for Christmas. I choose a single design to make multiples for friends and family, but I still somehow end up making one-of-a-kind cards, too. This pine cone by Heartfelt Creations on paper by Graphic 45 is the main design this year.
