Well, it was a busy stamp a stack weekend in the Stampin’ Room. Ladies signed up for a time over the 3 days to crank out their Christmas cards for this year.
I should have taken an “after” picture, because it sure didn’t look like this! LOL! But we sure had fun. I have been doing Christmas Stamp a Stack weekends for about 13 years, and I think for the first time in many years, we didn’t have a winter storm. The sun was actually shining:)

They have about 35 minutes at each station to complete 5 identical cards. There are 4 stations, so they leave with 20 cards. My husband and son served amazing drinks (coffee/apple ciders/hot chocolate) and Christmas baking, but they didn’t have much time for eating. They were very focused on getting their cards done. I usually have my daughters helping out at the stations, but alas this year they were not able to be here. My friend Pearl kindly stepped in and did a wonderful job. A big shout out to Pearl!

Here are the 4 designs they made:All the cards were made using sets in the Holiday Catalogue. This first one is from the beautiful Star Light Bundle. Not your traditional Christmas colors, but I do love it. Minus the fact that I had to pre- cut all their glimmer stars for them on the Big Shot!!
The second one uses a stamp from the Suite Season set. If you love it as much as I do, you might want to check out the Year-End Sale…the clear-mount set is one of the many that are on sale right now. They colored the greeting stamp with 3 different markers: Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green, and Soft Suede. Remember that we don’t currently sell individual markers but they have paired the Cherry Cobbler and Garden Green together for us in the Holiday Catalogue. After December, that pairing will be gone.
This third one was designed by the talented Krista Frattin. It features the new Stitched Shapes Framelits that were so WILDLY popular that they have already gone on backorder!! Sadly, they will not be available to order again until January. But good news is, that’s when Sale-a-bration starts so it can be part of your $60 order then. The greeting is from the Tin of Tags stamp set…also on sale right now.
And finally, because Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year…they made this one. There are no punches or framelits used on this one, just pretty ribbons and embellishments. I am loving navy and red this year.
I hope these inspire you to finish up your Christmas cards this year. Be sure to head on over to my Online Store to check out the huge Year-End sale going on right now. I am sure there is something there that interests you…and why not get it when it’s on sale!! This is a great time to stock up on stocking stuffers for that crafty one on your list as well.

Happy Monday everyone,
