May 2017 Christmas card challenge
May 2017 Christmas card challenge
I'm so far behind in this challenge. Perhaps I'll get caught up at the beach? Add that to my list...
This is pretty simple but can be adapted to your style. I had these die cuts in my stash and they were just perfect! I used a foam stamp - a clear stamp and a Misti would have made the whole thing even simpler.
I drew a line along the left margin to help me line up the stamp. Before stamping, I outlined the die cuts so I could decide where I wanted the red Merry Christmas. When I get home from work (I put these together during a conference call meeting!) I'll cut them apart. The card bases will either be white, red, or green. Depends on what I can find! I might add Stickles or Wink of Stella. I think I know where they are.

What a great idea!
Maybe I should bring my Christmas Card box and do some at reCreate, too. I haven't done any of the challenges yet this year.

Should have given credit to Jennifer McGuire for the inspiration. She did a similar card last year some time. I'm sure she used a stamped image instead of a die cut but I honestly can't remember!

Thanks for doing this month for me Pam! I am lost without all my scrapbook things here with me.
Re: May 2017 Christmas card challenge
That's a super idea... great way to get rid of the onesies of stamps/diecuts left from any packages we've used on other projects. I may toss some Christmas things in my bag to bring, too.

I know exactly what you mean! Joel unloaded a couple of my shelves while I was away. He hasn't started installing the floor yet so everything is spread all over the house. Talk about motivation to purge even more!Debbie J wrote:Thanks for doing this month for me Pam! I am lost without all my scrapbook things here with me.

They're wonderful!
I'm afraid to see how far behind I am.
