Pairing new with old Christmas stamps

 

Cute little images are so fun to mix and match with washi tape for quick and easy Christmas cards like this one!

 

This was one of my designs for a Christmas card class. The little images are from the now retired Jolly Bingo Bits stamp set. The images were stamped, punched out using a circle punch, then adhered over the washi tape with dimensionals. If you're pressed for time, this is a great layout to work with. And if you don't have washi tape, use strips of designer paper! The big sentiment is from the Joy to the World stamp set, which is in the Holiday Catalog.

 

There's less than a month left to order what you'd like from that catalog. You may order anytime thru my Online Store at http://therubberroom.stampinup.net. Don't forget to use this hostess code - 3XTCDNG6 - and you'll be entered into my January 1 drawing for free SU! product. Thanks! Enjoy your Sunday.

Cutting a perfect snowflake every time

 

Cut a perfect snowflake every time with the Festive Flurry Framelits in the Holiday Catalog (page 30). And if you bundle it with the Festive Flurry stamp set, you can save 15%! What's a snowflake without sparkle? I added a large rhinestone.

 

This was another of the 10 designs I used for my recent 20-card Christmas class. It uses a 1-1/2" x 5" strip of Winter Frost Specialty designer paper on a Whisper White layer that was adhered to a white card with dimensionals. The sentiment is from the Joy to the World stamp set (page 24 of Holiday Catalog), stamped in Island Indigo ink.
