At the moment I'm in the final stages of planning and making all my sample cards for the Christmas Stamp-a-Stack event that is on at the end of the month. I'm getting really excited because I have some great cards to share.
Everyone will get to make 18 cards during the day - 3 each of 6 different designs. That means 18 cards in one day, with a lot of chatting and laughing going as well. I have to come up 6 designs that people can replicate easily and quickly. Some of the hard work will be already done because I am planning on cutting some of the card stock.
One of the stamp sets that I want to use is the Peaceful Pines set. This is a photopolymer set with 17 stamps in it. It also co-ordinates with the Perfect Pines Framelits, and they are available individually and as a bundle.
While playing with the set, I made the following card. I really liked it when it was on my desk and when I held it in my hand but now that I've taken the photo I'm not so sure about it. I decided to share it with you anyway.

| I love the scallops on these trees but maybe the card stock needs to be in a darker colour? Then again, maybe the stars just need to be in Silver Glimmer Paper rather than Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper. |

| That's better. |
The greetings in the stamp set are great too and there are some really cute little stamps such as baubles and a present. I stamped three presents on the inside of the card just to finish it off. There will be some going on the envelope too.
