Finally Friday with Christmas!!

Hello all!! Sorry for the late post, but I just got my computer back from the computer doctor!! It had a virus, but it is now all better!!

Up for your viewing pleasure today is a card from Kristine Memmott. This card uses new product from the upcoming Holiday Mini catalog, available on September 1st!!! You wont want to miss out on all the wonderful and new products!

Kristine re-created the card on page 24 of the mini, using the Delightful Decorations set and the new ornament punch! And if you think this punch is only for Christmas time, think again!!! Many talented stampers have discovered ways to use this. I'm sure we'll see those ideas in upcoming posts.

Finally Friday with Christmas in July!!

Hello all!! Welcome to the last day of July, and officially the end of the first half of the year! Boy time flies when your stampin' away doesn't it?

Our project today comes to us from Kristine Memmott, who has Christmas on the brain! But we all know it's never to early to start working on those Christmas cards!!

Kristine made a wonderful pocket card using the awesome set, Winter Post. This is one of many sets in the So Shelli line. I just love how Kristine made the insert look like a postcard.

And while the dsp she used on here is now retired, (bummer!), she gives us an option for different dsp in her list of supplies. So try it out and see what you come up with!

This DSP has retired but I love the color combo. It can easily be switched out with the new Christmas Paper coming out or even the Old Olive and Chocolate Chip DSP.

Paper: Ruby Red, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, Holiday Treasure DSP
Ink: Ruby Red, Chocolate Chip, Old Olive
Stamps: Winter Post
Accessories: Round Tab Punch, Jumbo Eyelet, Old Olive 1/4" and 5/8"Grosgrain Ribbon, Chocolate Chip Grosgrain Ribbon

Thank you Kristine for a wonderful project and idea for getting our Christmas cards started!!

Happy Stamping!!!
