Christmas Around the Corner

I had such an amazing Christmas Cards class yesterday. It was a lot of work preparing everything and sometimes even torture to come up with fresh layouts and ideas, but it always pays off. It brings me such joy. I am so thankful that part of my perks as a Stampin' Up! demonstrator includes full access to Stampin' Connection Site. It helps me to be able to draw inspiration from my fellow demonstrators. I am happiest when I am creating and sharing my passion for Stampin' Up! with others. Having just typed all that, I would like to share with you the cards we made in class yesterday. Please note that the products with asterisk (*) next to it means that they are in the Holiday Catalog and very limited, only available until the end of 2012.

You can always order 24/7 via My Online Store. Your order will be directly shipped to you. You cannot pass up the very adorable Make a Mitten and Mitten Builder punch. They are so cute and timeless, just like the Stitched Stockings Stamp Set and Punch from last year's Holiday Catalog.
