Every year around this time, stampers everywhere are frantically trying to figure out what will be *the* card this year. Your 2008 holiday card that is! Well, if you are still indecisive, we are here to help!!! The design team and I have put together an entire presentation to help you get past the planning stages and into the stamping phase!
Here’s how it works. Scroll down through the following projects and pick which one appeals to you and your stamping level the most. They vary from really simple to a bit more complicated, some with more steps than others. In other words, there is something for everyone, no matter their capabilities!
Once you have selected *the* card, simply click to download a FREE planning worksheet. The complete supply list & instructions to make 25 of the same design, have been compiled just for you for EACH of the projects below.
There isn’t anything left to do but check to see what you have on hand from the list and order anything you don’t. With the helpful cutting list that each designer included with their project, you can have your holidays cards done in one afternoon. We hope you enjoy this special holiday presentation. Please be sure to let us know if you utilize it!

These are fabulous! What a gift they are!
laurie Hunt says
I really liked all of the cards that the team put together. You asked about the detail sheet downloads, I did a PDF save of all of them and will put them in an e-folder. That way I have one example of a card made with the different sets. And I realized as I looked at them, that some of the examples could be used as other than Christmas cards with just some minor adjustment! Thanks for providing this. It looks like it was probably a lot of work, but it is really helpful at least to me. Sometimes there are little parts and pieces in each of the sets that I look at and try to figure out what it is or how to use it. This could be a way to figure that out!
cindy b says
What a fantastic idea!!!! Such a time saver,
I LOVE this service you have provided!!!!Once again, PT takes the lead!
Sherrie says
This was a fabulous posting, Nichole. The cards are ALL amazing!! The talent of your design team is incredible. I’m very impressed…
Lesa says
Nichole thank you and the design team so much for these card ideas. I have been looking thru magazines and idea books trying to come up with Christmas cards for this year and you just solved my problem. Now I can clear my desk and get started working on putting these together. I am going to a scrapbook retreat on the 23rd but I plan to work on my Christmas cards for this year. Having the worksheets just made my life so much easier. Again thanks for all your hard work.
Paula Laird says
Uber cool! The hard part is deciding which one!
Carol Scheevel says

Nicole, what a fabulous group of women you get to work with. Thanks for putting the sheets together about how to make the cards! It really will help with holiday card planning.
Can’t wait to fill up my cart tonight!
Jennifer Love says
What fabulous work! I love the idea of having a recipe card for mass stamping cards. 😀
However, some seem to have a detailed task list while others just have the cutting instructions. Am I missing a second page or something? Just wondered. I mean, I can follow it, but wondered if maybe something was missing from a few.
Thanks for the information though! I have a vacation coming up soon so I’ll be busting my bottom to get my cards done for the holiday. 🙂
Jennifer,
You aren’t missing anything. Some designers who had more in depth cards provided instructions, and others with more simple cards did not. I am sure if you have any construction questions, you could ask the designer via their blog or our customer forum. They would be more than happy to help you!
