If you are a regular reading of my stamping blog, you know how much I love punches. Well, Christmas is close to my heart! Last week I had my second annual Christmas in July Fast & Fabulous.
My stampers were greeted with a Christmas wreath on the door, more Christmas decorations as they walked through to my STAMP (Stamped Treasures and Marvelous Projects) Room, scents of Christmas with my Cozy Christmas Gold Canyon candle burning, Christmas music playing, freshly baked Christmas cookies, and, of course, lots of Christmas cards to stamp!
Here is the first of the eight different cards they stamped. From the cards from this class, some have even ordered supplies to make more for this year's Christmas cards. What a great time to get started!
This was one of my favorites . So quick and easy, yet, if I may say so without bragging, so pretty! It uses the Spotlight on Christmas stamp set, All Holidays stamp set, 5 Petal Flower Punch, Eyelet Border Punch and Rich Regals Brads.
My colors are Bravo Burgundy, So Saffron and Always Artichoke.
All the stamps in the set are punchable with a coordinating Stampin' Up! punch. Wow! Christmas and punches. Yep, I'm tickled pink.
Stamping and punching out the poinsettia twice is key. Stamped and punched only once leaves something to be desired. As you know, it is that little something extra that makes your cards so special.
Be sure to come back tomorrow. Over the next week I will be posting my eight fast, yet fabulous, Christmas cards.
