This bundle features the Christmas Quilt Stamp Set and coordinating Christmas Quit Dies.This set makes beautiful holiday cards and we shared a few ideas in the video (and below). Linda made a great card, and shared some fabulous techniques. The show must go on....Right before we aired live on Facebook, we noticed the floor of the studio had been flooded. We were able to go on with the stamping as scheduled, but we had to wear shoes (the horror...kidding). Linda normally takes her shoes off so she doesn't appear so tall, or so I don't appear so short standing next to her hahaha. Just goes to show we love stamping more than anything, even if it means standing in water to stamp.
