Christmas in August

Beginning now, I need to make a few Christmas cards a week in order to be ready to send them in early December. I have good intentions now. Let's see if I follow through or whether I am pulling an all-nighter to get them done in December!

Here is my Christmas card for this week. It uses the Pennant Parade stamp set. I love that this set can be used for multiple things. Of course, it makes adorable pennant banners on a card but it can also be used as Christmas trees. The set includes the tree base as well as the stars.

Stamping Vogue Tips:

• Liven up your background using the Hello Doily, stamped in a monochromatic shade of ink.
• Add interest to the main image panel by using the larger pennant for the the center tree and popping it up with a dimensional.
• Use punches to make quick work of lining up your sentiments.
