Stamping away…

Here are two of the three tables stamping some Christmas Cards with us last night!

My super fun guests made 12 cards (3 each of 4 designs)!  All in about 2 hours!

Speaking of Christmas… Look at this sneak peek into the New catalog!

Isn't that snowman adorable?  I love him!  He has a shorter, squatter snowman friend too.   This NEW set is called "Snow Much Fun."  In this card I paired it with some old, retired striped ribbon.  I used the Perfect Polka dot embossing folder and modern label punch and watercolored with the Watercolor Crayons and Aquapainter. 
As much as I love looking at this card and stamp set, I'm in NO hurry to look at snow outside!!

It’s Beginning to look a lot like…

Christmas???  Thank goodness it's really not, but we are doing the first Christmas Stamp a Stack of the season tomorrow!

Here's one of the cards my guests will be making…

So the best thing about this card is that my pool is in the background!  LOL  No, but seriously, I love this card!  The inspiration came from this card here.  It's basically the same, just different colors and a different sentiment.  Hope you like it!

Christmas Cards

Here are the Christmas cards we made last night.  It's hard to choose which one is my favorite.  I love the Deck the Halls designer paper and the vintage feel to the Cardinal card… I like the ease that the snowflake card comes together yet still looks well put together…of course I love the ornaments, the details in the ornaments just make it… and who doesn't like the crispness of Real Red, Basic Black, and Whisper White together along with some glitter on Santa's hat??

Do you have your Christmas card designed?  If not, I'd love to help you!  Just shoot me an email or give me a call to help you design Christmas cards perfect for you!
