The window stamp in this set works with a die from this set.

I love this poem. My dad used to read it every year, and I was working on a little set based around the idea of the window in the poem, complete with shutters! I was intending to use maybe a line or two of the poem in the set, but then a certain lady mentioned that she'd love to see the whole poem as a stamp! As luck would have it, there was room in the set for one huge stamp, containing the first six verses of the poem! I  think it makes a fabby background stamp, and I can also see myself using it to make tiny scrolls for my Christmas table setting!

I used a vintage font - what else? lol and I think it really lends itself to the old world feel of  this favourite Christmas tradition.

The window frame stamp works with a die from the Spellbinders labels 14 dies. It may be used as a simple frame or you can add further details such as window sashes, shutters and various other decorative items, candlesticks, baubles, a scandinavian style candle arch and even a tiny mouse and a mini wreath! OOdles of possibilities. Check out this post on my blog for detailed instructions and tips on building a window with this set. There are a total of 21 stamps in  this unique set.

Through my window I would be delighted to see Santa and his 8 reindeer sailing across a starry sky!

Th poem stamp fits comfortably on to a standard card front at 5.25 inches by just under 3.25 inches at its widest points. The tiny little mouse is 5/8 of an inch long by 2/8 of an inch.
