November Stamp Class

It’s already November, can you believe it? So you know that means the holiday rush can soon be upon us, what to do? For one thing, let’s get some things done ahead of time, like stamp those cards and gifts that we all KNOW we’re going to need!

First of all, let’s not let Thanksgiving get lost in the commercialism of Christmas shopping. We need to pause and be grateful for the rich blessings we all have, and what better way than to send a beautiful card (or two!) of thanks to someone we know. With their rich fall colors, these cards have  sentiments that can also be switched out for a subtle birthday/get well/sympathy or almost any type of card, always good to have. I’ll show you the tricks to make the long window card easily with our square SU punches. The fall shaker wreath/door card made with the new SU circular foam frames can be done with Christmas colors too.  Plus you can choose from 3 options of felt embellishments to complete the beautiful snowflake-embossed card, so special and all wonderful!
