Happy Monday on this joyful July 8th! It’s joyful because I’m playing along with The Paper Players Christmas in July challenge for this week. It’s never too early to get started on such a joyful holiday!
So, here is my first Christmas card of 2013!
Now, you may ask, are those stamp sets still available? My answer – a resounding and joyful YES!
These 2 sets and several others have been carried over from last year’s Holiday Catalogue and are still available for purchase. See the list here.
I kept this one simple and found that one of the patterns in the Gingham Garden designer package worked really well with the Wild Wasabi card base and the mat of Cherry Cobbler Core’dinations card stock. Yes, I do like the simplicity of this card.

Great card, Cynthia! I really like your layout and the way you’ve stamped the sentiment directly on the DSP–clever! So glad you joined us at The Paper Players this week!

Thanks so much Nance. The challenge inspired me to get at those Christmas cards early this year.
