Christmas Cookies, Digital Embossed Mats and Freebies!

Yep it’s Thursday as you could probably guess from the title! I had an idea rattling around in my head for a while of making printable paper mats that had embossed edges. You can use the png version of any digital stamp to add them to the mat before you print it too! I made them in white but you can recolor them digitally or print them on colored paper. They are good for digital scrappers to as the png versions can be plopped on a page and used for journaling! Here is a card I made with the new Embossed Mats set and the Babies and Bows and All Around Phrases digital stamp sets:

Stamps: Lindsay's Stamp Stuff (all Around Phrases, Babies and Bows and Embossed Mats sets)

To print the Congratulations stamp on the card base I first printed it on plain paper then taped my card down to the paper where I wanted it printed and sent both through the printer again!

I like the look of the embossed shadow 😉

The cradle was colored with Prismacolor pencils and blended with goo-gone;) The "pearls" are drops of hot glue dusted with pearl-ex.

Here is the set for $3 in the shop:

I also wanted to make something Christmas-y and giftie so I came up with the cookie tower, it uses a 12″x12″ sheet of paper. I use American Crafts new pattern paper, not cardstock, and it was still very sturdy!

The template for the box does not include the window cutout. You can use whatever cartridge/file/template you wish for that 😉

Here are the Freebies!

You can a version to cut with your cricut if you have Design Studio and the plantain Schoolbook cartridge here.

Here is a, SVG version if you have SCAL Software.

You can get the printable version of the template and the stamp and the embossed scallop mat I used to make it here for free!!!

Click the picture to download, Pattern paper is by American Crafts not included in the freebie, it is for example only.

Also in the shop this week I have this “cool” 2 stamp set for $1.50.
