Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today the Holiday Catalog is finally here to purchase from.   If you have a big “Wish List” consider hosting a workshop, and I will help you get some of those items for free!

If your looking for ideas for your Christmas cards, I’ll be hosting the “Christmas in July… Opps August Stamp Camp”.  You’ll make 10 cards that include envelopes for you to stamp.  Save the Date: Monday, August 26th!  Details will be coming to you via e-mail.  If I don’t have your e-mail address, please send it to me @ lindaluvs2stamp@aol.com

So, you’ve seen a sneak peek of the Holiday Catalog with the fall and halloween cards the past few days, so what’s next, but the big guy!

Trust me when I say … It didn’t take much to put this card together.  If you’re looking for a quick way to make cards, you will want the “Season of Style” Designer Series Paper pack (132181) on page 22 of the Holiday catalog.  There are 48 sheets / 24 of each – double sided.  Just trim the sheet to 4 x 5-1/4″ for the background, and you’ll have nice size left overs to add inside your card or decorate to coordinate the envelope!

Our sweet little Santa comes from the stamp set “Santa’s List”.  (Wood – 131808 / Clear – 131811).  Although you could use the coordinating word stamps that are included in this set … I used the Naughty or Nice from the “Very Merry Tags” stamp set (Wood – 130393 / Clear – 130402).   The Very Merry Tags should definitely be on your wish list … it is too cute and truly says it all!  Hmmm …. I think I’ll run back down into my stampin’ studio and stamp the ” I ♥ Santa” image onto the back of my card!

You can shop anytime by clicking on the “Shop Now” link above or you can contact me… I’m here to help.  The additional products used to create this card were the Decorative Label Punch (120907) and the 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon (126848) Gumball Green.  Cardstock colors are: Whisper White / Cherry Cobbler / and Gumball Green.

By the way … What color are Santa’s gloves???  Red??  White?? Black??  What do you think?

Enjoy your day ~
