Hey, STAMPlorations friends! I'm excited to share that the Holly Leaves and Berries image I illustrated is the exclusive cover mount stamp in the December issue of UK's #1 craft magazine, Craft Stamper (buy a subscription here or single print copies here or digital copies here).

I also created 3 cards to showcase the stamp and you'll find my cards on pages 60-62. The stamp is also available as a digital image and you can download it here. It's also part of the free Craft Stamper Printables for December that you can download here.

  

If you are a subscriber of Craft Stamper, I'd love to see what you make using my stamp! If you create projects with the digital version and share it on your blog/Facebook/IG/SCS/Flickr, I'd love it if you'd link them up to our Never-ending Anything Goes Challenge.

Have a great start of the week!
