Oh my! I discovered a Canadian stamp company and am the proud owner of one of their stamp/die sets. It's called Beaver & Hockey, both of which epitomize what the world considers as Canadian.
I had a few different ideas for this set, which included a bookmark, but finally decided on a tag attached to a card. Wouldn't the tag, by itself, be perfect attached to a present for the hockey player in your life? But attached to the card, it's looks pretty perfect anyway, doesn't it?
I used a base cardstock of Soft Suede followed by a plain layer of Pacific Point and, finally, a layer of Whisper White put through the Big Shot with a star embossing folder. I stamped the cute little beaver and the smiling puck onto a piece of Whisper White and coloured the images using my Derwent Watercolour pencils as well as an Aqua Painter.
I used a fun stitched tag die to cut the tag from a piece of Soft Suede and tied a piece of blue ribbon at the top. Then I heat embossed the top sentiment and complimentary bottom sentiment using white embossing powder. After using foam dimensionals to attach the tag to the card, I added the smiling puck and hockey beaver to the tag, also using foam dimensionals. The result is a fun card that would appeal to both young and old(er) hockey fans.
Have fun checking out our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge and I hope you'll link your creation before the deadline on Monday, April 19th, 2021.
