Twelve Days of Christmas (in July!) Day 1

Happy Saturday everyone!  Well, we're only 12 days away from the launch of the new Holiday Catalogue and let me tell you, I am SOME excited!!  This is, by far, the best Holiday catty EVER!!  There truly is something for everyone in there.  One of my favourite things is the new bundle options.  Get groupings of products designed to work together at a 15% discount!  What's better than that?!?  Anyhow...in order to get you in a festive frame-of-mind I've decided to count down to the Holiday Catty with my own Twelve Days of Christmas (in July) series that will feature projects designed to ignite your festive spirit and get you started on your holiday crafting in time to actually FINISH in time for Christmas!  So, without further ado, here is the first item:

12 Days of Christmas #1 - featuring the Chock Full of Cheer stamp set and Be of Good Cheer DSP

This card doesn't actually use anything from the upcoming Holiday Catty...I'm saving the Sneak Peeks for a little later.  All of the products on this card are available RIGHT NOW!  So what are you waiting for?  Here is a list of the items I used so you can get your order in and get started on your Christmas cards right away:
