Hello my crafty friends and welcome back.

For the month of July I will be focusing on Christmas cards.

This is my second Facebook live where I am showcasing Christmas cards using 2023-2024 Annual Catalog sets.

Last year I was beyond busy with school that I did not get a chance to really play with all the Christmas sets Stampin’ Up released.

For this live I used the Ringed with Nature (AC p. 44) along with the Tree Rings Hybrid Embossing Folder (AC p.169) I was happy this set carried over, the poinsettia is very pretty; easy to stamp and fussy cut.

I also used Press n seal to help keep all my elements in place, that way when I am ready to adhere everything stays in place.

If you have not tried this, give it a try. It will make cardmaking super easy.

I DO NOT provide PDF’s, for any of my FB Live videos.

However, I will give you the measurements but not instructions. If you would like to know how I achieved a certain technique I suggest you watch the video.

Alright let’s check out the cards.

If time permits, I tend to stamp the inside of the card while I am live, if not I usually include a picture.

I am making it a habit to stamp the inside of every card I create because it makes it so much easier to mail off. All I have to do is write my message and send it. 

If you would like to see the process, click the video to watch.

Hope you have found some inspiration and if you have any questions regarding any products I have used or just in general please feel free and reach out. I will be more than happy to help.

THANK YOU FOR STOPPING BY.

These are my favorite tools.
