October Rubber Stamp Release and Blog Hop Day #1

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas  Ev'rywhere you go;
Take a look in the five and ten glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes aglow.

Welcome to the Fresh Brewed Designs October Rubber Stamp Release

And Blog Hop! If you are just getting to the hop, you need to go back to

I absolutely LOVE everything about Christmastime!
The smells, colors, lights, joyful smiles, and sweet moments shared.

All of the pretty decorations, candles burning, listening to stories  and

reminiscing of past memories while making more special memories.

We are excited to be able to bring Christmastime to you a little bit sooner this year.

These little stamps are guaranteed to spread smiles and winter cheer,

and I hope I am able to do that very same thing with you today!

For my card I used the new FBD Rubber Stamp: Decorate It Girl

*for a popcorn string  making tutorial go here*

This card is very simple. She is paired up with the My Christmas Tree digital stamp, 

the ground is covered in felt and the whole background (even the tree) 

was covered with shimmer spritz in silver. 

As you can see I removed the ornament from her hand

 as well as  the box of ornaments on the floor in front of her. 

Next up is: Hot Cocoa Girl

 This one was alot of fun to make! I even used the Christmas House digi you can get free by going here

I can't tell you how steady of a hand I had to have to color and cut that little thing out :) hehehe!

The simple table was hand drawn on the card. 

I have a few more cards using these images that will be showcased over the

 next few days of the hop. I hope you will stop in to check them out!

Stop by the shop to check out the new stamp set deal available

for the duration of the hop ONLY! You can get both stamps for just $10.50!!!
