When I purchased these image stamps, separately, at Michael's, I knew they could tell a story. Their size was similar and they took the ink very well. The message stamp is one of my collection for Christmas cards. The screen divider card format was a natural fit for the story to be retold! I like the color combination, and thought it look dignified here. I inverted the punch for the base; alas, making the "legs" was my undoing. Oh well, learn to leave things alone! I am working on other designs, using my MS borders for spring 2015. Punching panel by panel works better for me. Enjoy the season! Diane

This is wonderful! I have the Wise Men stamp, and several other Christmas images. I may CASE your idea of combining stamps to tell the beautiful story!
