This card is a Design Team challenge for Hobbyboden.dk about stretching you stamps.
My take on this challenge was to create my own border by repeat stamping. By combining two text stamps I could create a Christmas CAS card.
The sentiment is Danish and means Merry Christmas - From all of us to all of you.
I often find that heat embossing on Kraft cardstock can be a bit tricky. Reason is that the Kraft cardstock I use is rather thirsty. Therefore it soaks up the VersaMark ink rather quickly. But by using my MISTI stamping tool I can stamp twice with the ink and this works so much better. MISTI for the win!
To emphasize the border I have used a dotted line die from Paper Smooches. This has such a good effect on the card and really makes it look like a text border.
Have a wonderful crafty day,
Pia
