Holiday Card Week Starts Today!

by

On Saturday, October 4th, I'll be hosting my first Christmas Stamp-a-Stack of the year.  Participants will be making 10 cards, 2 each of 5 designs.  In addition, to the great cards we'll be making, I'll also have tons of samples available to inspire you.  To reserve your spot in the class, visit http://thestampdoc.eventbrite.com

And because I know that many of you live too far away to attend, I'll be sharing each of the card designs with you every day this week.  This first card features the Snow Swirled stamp set, which is on sale through September 30th for 15% off.
