So far, I have finished four of these, and I have eight more almost finished. I had to order more cardstock so I can assemble the rest of them.
After searching for the Gumball Graphics Santa for years, I found this image on eBay, and it was marked as Unknown Manufacturer. I was thrilled because I was finally able to buy the Gumball Graphics Santa. When it arrived, there were no markings on the wood block other than the index picture so I can't be sure whether it is the original Gumball Graphics stamp; but to my eye, it is the same. Later, I saw a card on Pinterest that used the Verses Old World Santa. Again, I could not see any difference between that one and the Gumball Graphics Santa so maybe that is what I have. If anyone is looking for the impossible-to-find Gumball Graphics Santa, check out the Verses Old World Santa; that one is available.
I stamped this image with several different inks, and the one I liked best was Gina K. Designs Charcoal Brown. The image just seemed to come alive when I stamped it with that one. I had to stamp the image by pressing the cardstock onto the inked stamp rather than the usual way. It was the only way I could get a complete image to stamp.
I tried embossing the snow directly onto white cardstock as well as on vellum which I attached to white cardstock after embossing it. I really liked the softer look of the embossed vellum.
