Even though I make a Christmas card for Jingle Belles every week, that doesn't get me nearly enough completed by December ... so Christmas in July Challenges are the perfect time to make some ground on the final number of cards I need ... just like at AAA Cards.
I inked-up a never-before-used Magenta Floral Holiday Trio stamp from my stash (actually I liked it so much there were two never-before-used stamps in my stash, so one will be a future giveaway). I used Catherine Pooler's Peppermint Scrub Ink and paired it with a scrap of Valentine's Day plaid.
The layout is from 52 Christmas Card Trowdown and the sentiment is a favorite from Catslife Press.
I'm also joining CAS Christmas where the theme is Poinsettia.
Your new stamp is beautiful and I like it in this colour against the kraft. Simple but eyecatching. Thanks for joining in at 52CCT

Pretty trio of Poinsettias in that Peppermint Scrub ink, which is one of my favorites. The pattern paper strip makes it pop even more. So glad you played at CAS Christmas this month.

That holiday trio stamp is so pretty Stef. No wonder you bought two! :) I can't tell you how many times I have done that. :)
Love the kraft card base with the plaid strip ... gives the card a bit of a country feel. Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Christmas.
