Welcome back for another round of inspiration from the Stamp Review Crew! This week we are featuring one of my favorite sets…Wetlands.
I am #10 on the hop. You may have just left stop #9: Holly Krautkremer. If so, you are in the right spot. If you get off track, the full blog lineup at the end of this post will help you move along from blog to blog so you don’t miss a single exciting creation.
I decided to create a Christmas card using the Circle Card Thinlet. I hope you enjoy this Christmas Goose!
The Stampin’ Schach Design TipsThis finished card measures 5-1/2″ wide by 4-1/4″ long.
- Use your imagination! While I would have loved to stamp a few snowflakes in the background, I played by the Stamp Review Crew guidelines of using a single stamp set, with the exception of sentiments. I put on my thinking cap and decided that the Decorative Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder could be used to represent big, puffy snowflakes…if you used your imagination. Of course, to add a little “wow”, I added pearls.
- Christmas Goose! I watercolored the Goose image using Crumb Cake, Basic Gray, and Cajun Craze inks and a Blender Pen. I snipped him out, and placed him behind some snow drifts. Dazzling Diamonds Stampin’ Glitter adds a shimmer, as if it is newly fallen snow.
- Merry Christmas! The Merry Christmas sentiment, from Teeny Tiny Wishes, seemed like the perfect way to finish this clean card.
I had fun keeping this card clean. This design may be the one for this year’s Christmas cards. What do you think of it? Won’t you let me know in your comment today? Of course, if you have any questions about the cards I create or the techniques I use, I am only an email away.

Pretty card Ann. I never would have thought of a Christmas goose. He is so pretty set of in a snowy scene.
Beautiful Christmas Goose! 🙂 I just love how you added the glitter to it too!
Spectacular! I love your imagination. Just over the top fabulous! Great great job, Ann.
Those pearls are a wonderful compliment to the embossed dots. What a great winter card.
Ann, it is amazing how you can take an image and transform it with your touch of elegance and details. Thinking of a Christmas card is genius! So beautiful!
Wonderful job bringing a little Christmas to the hop! The Christmas Goose is colored so beautifully, and the brush dotted with snowy pearls is a fantastic touch! Love the Decorative Dots embossing too. It really shows how well you can coordinate with SU product 🙂
What a great way to use this stamp set! I was wondering how you were going to use your signature pearls with this set!
You are so clever! This is so fun and cool! Ha- I had to added the cool part! I had thought that folder sort of looked liked mini snowballs to me but to add the pearls around the goose – that is over the top! So unexpected too. It would make a gorgeous holiday card! Your details just totally made it perfect! What a different aspect for this stamp set!

WOW! This is awesome! Love the way you created a wintry scene with the pearls and polka dots and glitter! So so clever! I love it!
Wetlands is one of my favorites as well. Leave it to you to make it so gorgeous. Would not have thought of it for a holiday card, but it works beautifully.
Ha, Christmas goose with all sorts of dots and pearls for snow – how fun!
Amazing Ann! Love this goose for christmas…simply wonderful!
Amazing!! Love how you made this into a Christmas card! The embossed dots look fab with the pearls – just like snow. Very original!
WOW! WOW! WOW! Get the message? Very innovative – what an imagination you have.

Oh, I love this made up as a Christmas card! I marked this stamp set as a favorite in my new catalog…and it’s all because of you! Love how the dry embossing mimics the look of a snow storm!
Pardon my language but HOLY FREAKING COW!!! That is gorgeous! Amazing! Fantastic! And I didn’t realize you could put something on the little circle that was bigger than the circle. But you sure did. Wow, just wonderful. And again, I love this Stamp Review Crew – it’s so nice to see the differences.
Super card! Love the embossing and pearls. This would be a perfect Christmas card this year.
Ann, I love, love, LOVE this card!! First of all, I am in love with the set and the way you incorporated it into your card, w. the EF, sticking the goose behind the snow drifts, and all the pearls, just wowed me. It is a very classy looking card!!
Ooooo! Ann!! LOVE the pearls and the Distressed Dots together … and your goose is BEAUTIFUL!! 🙂
Such a pretty card. The coloring on your goose is so well done.
Quite wonderful — and unexpected! Excellent Christmas card!
The combo of pearls and embossed dots is lovely. Your little details are just perfect!
Pearlalicious. My new word for your style. 🙂 This is a fabulous card (as always) and so perfect for Christmas.
This would make a gorgeous Christmas card, Ann! I love how you used the thinlit and the goose together.
Love this stamp set – and your creation is awesome!!!!!
