The FIRST Christmas!

When I first saw this stamp set in the Holiday Catalog I thought of "Away in the Manger". The set only has 4 pieces but I absolutely love it. It's meaningful and simple. If you'd like to recreate this card, here are a few tips. 1) I stamped the image of baby Jesus and the start FIRST, then punched them out. I tried it the other way, punching first then stamping, but it never fit right. I typically always stamp first, then punch. 2) The edges of the circle and the words are sponged in Summer Starfruit ink.

Supplies:

Stamp set: First Christmas #127988 wood, #127991 clear)
Cardstock: Whisper white, Midnight Muse, Summer Starfruit

Creativity for a Cause

I serve as the assistant lead on behalf of Stampin' Up! for the Ronald McDonald House in Tampa, FL. It is my responsibility to ensure all 14 guest rooms are stocked with hand-stamped greeting cards for the families to use during their stay. The RMH uses approximately 300 cards per month and I need more “manpower” to help me create them. This is where your group (Women’s ministry, group of neighbors, friends, Bible study, Mom’s group, Bunco group, etc.) comes in. I will provide pre-designed, pre-cut pieces that are ready to be stamped and assemble. I ask for a $5 donation, per person, to help off set the cost of supplies. I would love to have your help, so together, we can make a difference in our community. For more information or to organize your group, please contact me.
