June 2023 Christmas Card Club Sneak Peek

There are only around 200 days left until Christmas - have you started making your Christmas cards yet?! I like to make mine year round so that I'm not scrambling when it comes time to send them in December. 

 

If you want to get a head start on your Christmas cards, consider joining my Christmas Card Club. Each month, you'll get supplies to make 8 Christmas cards - 2 each of 4 designs. The club is $39/month and includes $20-22 of product that you'll use on your cards - usually a half pack of Designer Series Paper, a roll of ribbon, and an embellishment. You'll even have some left over for other projects! You'll also get the cardstock bases and pieces you'll need for your cards, envelopes, and a PDF tutorial with instructions. You have the option to add on the stamp set/bundle and any inks I used that month, OR you can use products you already own.

 

Want a peek at this month's cards? Here it is!

 

If you'd like this month's cards, click here to sign up by June 15. Then I will email you a link to subscribe. You can join or cancel at any time, but for every six consecutive months that you subscribe, you'll get a little gift package from me valued at $25. Woohoo!

 

Happy Stamping!

Creation Station: Beach Life

 

It's the first Sunday of the month, and that means it's time for this month's Creation Station Design Team blog hop! Our theme this month is Beach Life.

 

It's been too long since I've been to the beach, but one of my favorite things to do there is sit and listen to the ocean. So that's where I've drawn the inspiration for my card.

 

I heat embossed the large wave image from the Waves of Inspiration stamp set and then added ink with Blending Brushes and a variety of ink colors: Blueberry Bushel, Azure Afternoon, Lost Lagoon, Lemon Lime Twist, and Lemon Lolly. 

 

I chose a second stamp set - Circle Sayings - for my sentiment and the seashells, which are colored in with a little Wink of Stella. I can never get the sparkle to photograph well, but it's stunning in real life! 

 

Make sure to hop along and see what the rest of the team has created this month! I'm sure it will have you dreaming of a beach vacation.

 

Next up is the lovely Kathy Kartak!

 

Happy Stamping!
