Christmas Songs for Stampers

Merry Christmas to all!  Thought I would leave you with five Christmas Songs for Stampers today.
The first Christmas song is sung to the tune of Winter Wonderland.

Brayers roll, are ya listening?

On the card, ink is glistening

A beautiful sight we're happy tonight,

Stamping in a winter wonderland.

In the kitchen we can build a snowman

Then add color to his carrot nose

You'll say: Are you finished?

I'll say: No ma'am,

I need to add some glitter to the snow.

When we stamp, ain't it thrillin'?

Even when the powders spilling

We'll create and we'll play, the art stamper way

Stamping in a winter wonderland.



This Christmas song is sung to the tune of Jingle Bells.

Dashing through the snow

To the stamp store here we go

O'er the streets we pass

Anxious to spend cash.

Stamps on store shelves call

Making spirits bright

Oh what fun it is to sing,

The stamping song tonight.

Stamping art, stamping art,

Stamping all the way

Oh, what fun it is to stamp

In the good old fashion way.

Stamping art, stamping art,

Stamping's here to stay

Oh, what fun it is to stamp

All the gifts you give today.



This song is sung to the tune of Let it Snow.

Oh the weather outside is frightful

But the inks look so delightful

So while the winters cold and damp

Let us stamp! Let us stamp! Let us stamp.

It doesn't take much convincing

And I've brought a tool for crimping

Choose some paper, turn up the lamp

Let us stamp! Let us stamp! Let us stamp.

When we carefully press just right

How we smile as the image unfolds

Add some color, so bold, so bright

The result is a sight to behold.

Our projects are quickly drying

And there's new techniques for trying

So until we get finger cramps

Let us stamp! Let us stamp! Let us stamp.



This Christmas song is sung to the tune of Deck the Halls.

Deck the halls with foils and glitters, Fa la la la la, la la la la

Tis the season for us stampers, Fa la la la la, la la la la

Don we now our inks and powders, Fa la la la la, la la la la

Troll the heatguns and embossers, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

See the card stock blank before us, Fa la la la la, la la la la

Strike the ink and join the chorus, Fa la la la la, la la la la

Follow me in merry masking, Fa la la la la, la la la la

Join us in some Yuletide stamping, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Faint away with chalks and markers, Fa la la la la, la la la la

Hail the new, ye rubber stampers, Fa la la la la, la la la la

Stamp with joyous all together, Fa la la la la, la la la la

Heedless of the times that's passed us, Fa la la la la, la la la la.



Sing to the tune of 12 Days of Christmas.

8 paper edger's

M193 Candy Cane Christmas

Been neglecting my Magenta Blog so thought I would add my ‘Metallic Theme’ Christmas Card that I did for Sylvia’s 2011 Christmas Card Challenge for December to it.  After I had scanned these, I realized I had forgot to add my phrase to the front.  I re-scanned the original card but I didn’t bother doing the group ones.
Magenta stamps: Phrase 07011D page 13 and Candy cane 23148D page 122 for those of you that have the original catalogue.

Ink: Red, Versamark.

Cardstock: Red card and 2.75x3.75”, White (3.5x2.5”), Silver metallic (3.5x5.5) then rip top & bottom.

Accessories: bugle beads, 6” wire, 10” silver cord, needle, black zig marker.

I sponged the edges of the white cardstock with red ink then free handed the edges with a black marker.  With a pencil, lightly mark a hole placement .75” from the left side and 1.25” from the top.  Mark a second placement .75” from the bottom and 1.25” from the left side.  Distress with scissors then tear it here and there.  Adhere to the red piece then the silver piece.  Poke a hole at each pencil mark through all layers.  String the beads onto wire.  Thread the wire through each hole and tape to the back.  Poke another couple of holes and add cord to help hold the candy cane in shape.

Cards from the Crafts magazine.
Inspired by a card in the Crafts Holiday Cards & Wrap magazine (page 51) that I picked up in October 2003. (If I can’t find a date on the magazines that I pick up, I write the month/year that I picked them up).

Total Christmas Cards for 2011:

January = 1, February = 6, March = 5, April = 5, May= 6. June = 4, July = 5, August = 4 , September = 4, October = 4, November = 7, December = 7. 

A total of 58 cards for the year!  A great Challenge to play in, thanks Sylvia for doing this!
