Christmas in July (And a Christmas-Themed FREE Gift Kit!)
Filed under Christmas, Giveaways, Newsletters, Rhonda Secrist Thomas, Rubber Stamps, Sale
Note: most of the links on this post no longer work, as we moved to a new Web site in 2018. However, you can see the supply list items from Rhonda’s project that are still available on the new site.
Aww… these are so sweet! As a follow-up to Design Team Member Rhonda Secrist Thomas’ Stamping on Ribbons post back in May (with a French theme… and with a tutorial), Rhonda has made a big bunch of festive holiday ribbons. (Note: this is a preview of an article to be published in the Holidays issue of RubberStampMadness!)
Beside the wider satin ribbons we’ve added (1-1/2″ wide), there are also a bunch of new holiday stamps by Tim Holtz and some new colors of VersaCraft Chalk Pigment Ink Pads (some used by Rhonda and some just because they’re new and cool and just released!) See below for photos and links to all the new additions. Oh, did I mention: They’re all On Sale!
(Psst! Rhonda used a lot of the stamps from the Mini Holidays Cling-Mounted Stamp Set 1 – Believe on her ribbons… plus see the next paragraph for some of our own stamps she also used. And here’s her full Supply List in case you need to track down a specific image.)
Just in time for this project, we’ve got some of our own exclusive rubber stamp sets back in stock:
– Holiday Brownies Rubber Stamp Set (like that red candy cane in the ribbon photo)
– Angels we have heard on high… Stamp Set
– Retro Santas Rubber Stamp Set (Ho ho ho!) (See the “Back in Stock” section below, too.)
Hey, and all 3 of those rubber stamp sets are On Sale!. You know why? Because they’re part of the Christmas in July Sale! All Christmas Rubber Stamps and Christmas Collage Sheets are On Sale!.
Plus the Christmas Scrapbook Papers Section (single sheets or sets) and Christmas & Winter Metal Charms are all On Sale!.
And there’s a New FREE Christmas in July Fiber Set! An exclusive Alpha Stamps’ mini kit of gorgeous fibers and ribbons! Lots of choices from fuzzy yarns to shiny silk or satin ribbons, in shades of red, gold and green — perfect to tie a gift tag on your Christmas presents!
AND (whew!) there’s another new circus shrine (with tutorial) from our Design Team (as July is filled with circus art because of the July Cirque Paper Theatre Kit): a Sky High Circus by Jeanne Draachreider! It is such a wonder (including running lights!) that it has its own separate blog post (or jump straight to the chase and view it all on Jeanne’s blog).
