Peaceful Christmas

September 11 - October 10 is when you can order "Peaceful Christmas" Paper Pumpkin Kit. 

Perhaps crafting for Christmas🎄 gifts or decorations has been a favorite hobby for you; or it may be that looking at Christmas decorations and craft supplies in October 🎃  is unheard of for you!

Since we want to have our projects completed and ready to send or give in a timely manner, we really do want to be planning and making in October.  🍂

When my son was in the U.S. Navy and stationed in Cuba, I had to have his Christmas items sent by the first of November.  It was then that I welcomed the opportunity to purchase decorations and craft supplies far enough in advance to get his package to him on time.

While this was 25 years ago, I still think of that this time every year: of how excited I was to be packaging a mini, mini artificial Christmas tree with a set of battery-operated lights, and plastic "snow" and snowflakes.  

Take a look at the next month of Paper Pumpkin. 

When you picture a peaceful Christmas, what comes to mind? Do you see snow outside your window, softly swirling through the sky? A tree trimmed with tinsel, a fire crackling nearby? Maybe you’re dreaming of decorating a holly jolly gingerbread house. Can you catch a whiff of Christmas cookies wafting through the air?

Whatever it is you think about when Christmas comes to town, picture a peaceful Christmas with the Peaceful Christmas Paper Pumpkin Kit! This glimmering and gleaming kit is your creative kickstart to Christmas cardmaking. With sprinkles of snow, shimmering silver skies, and heartwarming holiday wishes, you’ll have enough elements and embellishments to create 10 Christmas cards and coordinating envelopes.

And if you totally love the theme and papers, you can order more of the Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up! Peaceful Place by clicking on this link:  www.stampinup.com/products/peaceful-place-suite-collection-english. 

So when the weather changes to cool, its football season on Sunday afternoons, colored leaves are falling to the ground, grab a cup of hot tea or cider, take your Paper Pumpkin kit, and craft some cards to send this Christmas! You'll be glad you made them in advance.
