Scary Christmas, friends! I am so excited to be kicking off the Kindred Stamps October Release with the brand new holiday stamp set: Merry Krampus! This 3″ x 4″ stamp set features Krampus carrying a child in his sack, and a few sentiments as well to make some creepy holiday cards!
Be sure to stick around for the end of the blog post for my list of Copic Markers I used to color up my images!
I have created 3 cards using the Merry Krampus stamp set, so let’s get to the details!

For my 1st Merry Krampus stamp set, I wanted to create a mini-slimline scene card that showed Krampus walking through a spooky forest with a blood red sky. I used red cardstock as the base for my background, blended the edges with Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink, and splattered some white acrylic paint on the background. I also used a wavy stitched die from my stash to create some snowy hills, which I ink-blended the bottom with Tattered Rose Distress Oxide Ink. I used the Bare Trees Dies to die cut some trees from woodgrain cardstock, and distressed the trees with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink.

For my 2nd Merry Krampus card, I created an A2-sized card with Krampus creeping on top of a Barn Die Cut in the middle of the night. I created my background by blended up blue cardstock with Prize Ribbon, Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot Distress Oxide Inks, along with splattering some white acrylic paint. I also used the Tree Scene Craft Die to make a forested element to my background as well! For my sentiment, I used Snowfall Embossing Powder to make my “Krampus is coming to town” sentiment really pop!

For my final Merry Krampus card, I made a foiled creation combining a foiled Toner Card Front and some patterned paper from the British Invasion Paper Pack. I did some creative layering using colored cardstock and vellum, where I die cut a circle frame from black cardstock using the Card Basics Die Set, and then die cut a vellum circle using the same die set. I used the Christmas Trees Stencil to blend Distress Oxide Inks directly onto my vellum. I finished off my card by embossing my sentiment in Snowfall Embossing Powder and adhering a couple Iridescent Bubble Embellishments
