Easy Texan Christmas Card:

I’ve had this stamp forever with this exact purpose in mind! ๐Ÿ™‚ This will be the Christmas card I send to our Texan family and friends. Austin is highlighted because that’s where we are. I’ll highlight the city of the recipient if they’re listed.

Inside says “a very Merry Christmas to you”.

“Hi” Apple Cards

I made these “hi” cards for Andrea’s teachers this year, as a way to introduce ourselves as well as give them our contact information.

I used scraps for all the pieces (a white 4.25 x 5.5″ white card is hidden behind the “chalkboard”). The “hi” was stamped with Versamark and heat embossed in white. Finished “chalkboard” measures 4.5 x 6.5″.

Supplies used:

Brown, White, and Black Cardstock

Scraps

Versamark ink

Doddlebug letter stamps

White embossing powder

Corner-rounding punch

Feel free to use this template for personal or instructional use only. Enjoy! ๐Ÿ™‚

Howdy!

I'm Tammy Moore, a scrapbooking fanatic in Austin, TX. Thanks for stopping by my little space on the web. Feel free to contact me any time!

Why “Mama Bear Stamps”?

A few years ago my daughter and husband gave me the nickname "Mama Bear" and I've used it ever since! This year I even conqured my fear of needles and had the Chinese symbols of mother and bear tattooed above my right ankle. When I started this blog, I knew I wanted to go by my nickname: Mama Bear. But you can call me Tammy if you'd like. :)
