Christmas Card Party

Thanks to an old friend of mine, I was able to attend a gathering to make Christmas cards with Close To My Heart products. I only know the names of two of the stamp sets I used because I ordered one of them and the other one is probably going onto my wish list.

So, my favorite set that I couldn't stop using is
D1177 No Peeking (page 69 of the Autumn/Winter 2007 Close to My Heart Idea Book)

and the other set that I found so cute is
D1178 Christmas Greetings (page 67 of the Autumn/Winter 2007 Close to My Heart Idea Book)

I'm not a Close To My Heart Demonstrator. I'm actually a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator/Hobbyist. But I enjoy quite a variety of stamps.

Different Color-Versions of Christmas Cards

There are a few color versions to my Christmas cards this year because I kept running out of one color or another. Or I ended up swapping some of the stamps used because I kept cleaning up at the end of each working session and putting things away. Either way, 50 of them are done! And I already have an idea for next year! So here are the ingredients used in one way or another.

The Stamp Doctor Christmas Card 2007

I really enjoyed making this card. It was a lot of fun. The "presents" layer is raised up with Stampin' Dimensionals. And the ribbon is attached with Glue Dots for extra security.
