Christmas is Coming! Are you ready??

Oh My Goodness - my countdown calendar says 15 days to Christmas - so time is going fast! And I've got two things to help you with your to-do list!!

FIRST - I'm sharing some last minute cards I have made in the past few days in case you need some quick ideas to finish off your cards for family, friend, co-workers and everyone else on your "I've been good this year" list! Like the ideas??  - then make them smaller for gift cards or tags if you don't need full size cards!

The first three cards "happened" because I am trying to use up my Designer Series papers (so I can buy more next year, of course!), along with that fabulous Subtle Stripes Satin Ribbon in the Holiday Catalogue.  And check out that cute reindeer clip with the enamel dot for his nose - so much fun!





The "Rudolph" card I saw on Pinterest and knew I had to adapt it and use those antlers that came in the Wonderland Stamp Set - they are so cute!! Did you know you can colour our Rhinestones with a Sharpie marker or alcohol markers? So easy to get just the right colour - of course I used Real Red for the nose!


SECOND - And to help us finish off our projects (cards, tags, Christmas (or New Years) table decorations and place cards), Stampin' Up! announced today that they are having a year end clearance on-line so you can shop at home, and have your order sent directly to your house in time to finish off all your projects (or to buy at special prices so you have what you need ready for next year - kinda like an early Boxing Day sale!).

Many products I used in these cards are either on the year end clearance sale or in the Holiday Catalogue retired list - so check it out and get them while they are still available - once they are gone, they are gone and I don't want YOU to be the one with the sad face!


You can use this link to see all the details - while the Year-end Sale is on, you won't find a separate category for "clearance rack" but don't worry - they've all been rolled into the one area so you won't miss out on anything on your wish list!

All on-line shoppers receive a special thank-you gift from me when you order, so don't be "anonymous" or I can't send you the "Thank You"! And I do want you to know I appreciate you sharing your crafting time with me!

Happy Stamping, and a special wish for a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Thank you so much for being a part of my stampin' world!
