Welcome to the DO Stamper Stars Blog Hop. I am a member of the DO Stamper Stars team which is comprised of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators who are part of Dawn Olchefkse's leader team. Each month we participate in 2 Blog Hops, like this one, to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our Goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing.
Today's inspiration is Christmas in July. I often start thinking about Christmas gifts this time of year simply from a budgeting standpoint and it's also easier to get out shopping in the summer than in the winter. If you make Christmas cards, figuring out a card design early helps to determine what you may need for supplies to order in time to make them. I typically start making supplies in September, so design in July, supplies in August works in my timeline.
I decided to pull from my stash of Stampin' Up! kits which makes it so easy to create a stash of holiday cards. There are 4 Christmas themed kits in the Kit Collection. Two are "Tag" kits pictured below, which I've shared in past blogs how they can easily be made into cards.
Love, Santa Tag kit
