Christmas Season cross stamping Christmas cards

 Hello and Happy Thursday everyone!  Today we begin my series of the 12 Projects of Christmas 2022.  Boy has it been a very busy week for me, I'm sure yours has been as well.  Today I have a cross stamping technique which uses a full sheet of Basic White cardstock and makes four cards.  It's very easy and no card will ever be exactly the same!  I love this technique and how my cards turned out with very little effort.  You can see how I stamped the full sheet and put these cards together by watching the replay over on my YouTube channel HERE:

I sure hope you are inspired to make some quick cards this way.  It's a really fun and easy technique and can be used with any solid stamps.  Please leave me a comment, I'd love to know if you've tried this technique and what you thought of it.  To purchase Stampin' Up! supplies from my online store, click on the shopping cart in the upper right corner.  I'd be ever so grateful for your business.

Pretty Pillowbox Poinsettia table favor/gift card holder/treat box-- Project 12 of the 12 Projects of Christmas 2021

 Well, we've reached the final project for the 12 Projects of Christmas today.  I hope you have enjoyed this series as much as I have.  I have to give credit for the inspiration for my project today to Sherry Roth of Stamped Treasures.  I used her directions to make the treat box and took inspiration from her decorations, but of course, I put my own spin on things.  I'm very pleased with how it turned out and these go together fairly quickly.  You can watch my YouTube video to see how I put these boxes together here https://youtu.be/W4O58KsgrFg
