Deborah Anton is sharing a home decor project with you today for day six.  Scroll on down and learn more!

Happy Monday and Cyber Monday!

I am hosting Day 6 of the YNS 12 Days of Christmas Series and today I am sharing with you a project that you can create for the holidays using some cute stamps from Your Next Stamp.

I created a “family photo” of sorts using Holiday Buddies.  These cuties were easy to make into a photo op and you can even take it a step further by decorating the outside of the frame.  That was what I was going to do, but realized I did not have any fun holiday dies small enough to decorate without covering the images.  So, I left it as is and decorated the inside with a few gumdrops and star sequins. 

YNS Supplies:  Holiday Buddies stamp set | Stitched Rectangles

I used my MISTI to stamp the images on each of the Stitched Rectangles before coloring them in with Copics.  I measured out the patterned paper, which is an 8.5″ x 11″ piece, to create 9 separate windows.  I placed strips of black card stock to glue over the paper before placing my images where I wanted them. I sponged a little distress ink around the edges to take out some of the brightness from the white card stock before adhering the images down.  

If making a frame is too much to create, you can always create small canvas art using your images like you can find HERE from a previous post I did on how to use your stamps on canvas.  This makes for cute little pictures around the house.

I hope you enjoyed this photo op project and don’t forget to continue checking back on the YNS Blog everyday to see what each DT member created for this series.  Thanks for popping in and hope you have a great week!!

Don’t forget to leave a comment before you go!   Let us know how you like to decorate your home or your funniest holiday photo…share with us and be entered in the draw for one of 3 YNS Store gift certificates.

Happy Stamping!
