Now, I’ll admit, I’m one of those people that think I’m going to get my Christmas cards done early but then I keep putting it off until suddenly it is December 5th and I haven’t done a single one! However, I know a lot of folks are really good about starting their Christmas cards in July – so that you’ll have plenty of time to actually get them done without madly crunching at the last minute. So, if you are looking for some new inspiration, check out these brand new stamps that were just released to help get you started!
Beauty of the Season – 2014 Holiday Catalog Sneak Peek set!
We love our cardinals don’t we? And this just looks so pretty watercolored! I forget how a simple card base in watercolor paper lets you give the focus to your main element and then you don’t need lots of layers to have a beautiful card. Add a sentiment and you are good to go!
This will be coming out in the new Holiday Catalog at the end of August but you can actually get it right now if you love it and want to get going on your holiday cards. 
Card Supplies Needed
- Beauty of the Season stamp
- Aqua Painter
- Watercolor paper
- Stazon Ink
- Whisper White paper (for the sentiment)
- Ink (Real Red, Daffodil Delight, Baked Brown Sugar)
If birds aren’t your thing, then you can check out this more funky and modern stamp set that just came out in Photopolymer called Christmas Bliss!
