I am very happy to announce that one week from today I will begin a 12 Weeks of Christmas email campaign! From 5 October, every week you will receive a holiday project idea with all the instructions on how to recreate it. Weeks 1-5 projects are Christmas cards, weeks 6-9 are creative gifts and weeks 10-12 will have fun gift wrapping ideas. Here's the catch... the only people who will receive these 12 amazing project ideas are those on my email list, so make sure you're subscribed! Fill in your details at the top right of this page.

To celebrate this annoucement, I wanted to share this gorgeous Christmas card that my friend Jackie created for me. This card is in Kraft, Pacific Point and Soft Sky, then accented with gold-embossed images from the Father Christmas stamp set...

I love, love, love all that detailed gold stitching on this Christmas card...

It's actually quite easy to re-create these baubles using the Festive Season stamp set and coordinating Festive Stitching Thinlits Dies - the dies do all the work for you, you just need to thread through that gorgeous gold Baker's Twine.
