Carla is our hostess for this last Thursday in July - and she has a lovely challenge for us which you can find HERE. I am sad that this is her last challenge, we will miss her on the team and wish her well in everything.
I started off with this set of four Christmas cards, because it was an idea I'd been playing around with for a while, and the challenge gave me the spur to actually bring it to fruition.
Unity a child is born, stamped in black, embossed, masked and sponged with blue and a little yellow. I stamped a gold star on each one as well. The background is SU Post Script stamped in weathered wood dox. I used a TCP postage stamp frame, and a sentiment from Penny Black.

My favorite stamps (postal) are Christmas stamps. I always look forward to the new ones and I will never stop sending Christmas cards, it's an important tradition to me. These cards are lovely, looks like they would be pretty easy to make multiples. I love that postage stamp die.

These Christmas cards are wonderful!! The bg is really neat, and the yellow you added makes these images really special!

Super cute Christmas postage stamps you created Sabrina! Nicely done making a few to build up your stash too. I have actually been working ahead on Christmas cards and am thrilled with my progress this year. There has been so much inspiration to really push me along.
