Heart F4A563 Dec 04, 2020 - Bring Out The Old

Hi Everyone. Welcome back to another Free 4 All Challenge. This week we are going to use some of our older Christmas stamps to make a Christmas card. I don't know about you, but I should use take advantage of this challenge to use several old stamps and get some cards made, I am way behind on my Christmas cards. We cannot wait to see what you make with your older Christmas stamps.

My goal this year to pull out my old stamps and use them.  The Christmas cards in my gallery are using old stamps.  Here is the card I made last night.

One of my early Christmas stamp acquisitions. Helekins' cards with the cute PB mouse in the tea cup inspired me to do my version. F4A563 Not Even a Mouse by Dockside at Splitcoaststampers

I found stamps in my mother's sets that are older and I hadn't used before.  Here is a card using The Sounding Joy set.

I am playing my "Challenge Catch-up" cardmaking, catching up on my SCS postings, and building my Christmas stash all rolled into one. This card was made in August 2021 for my Christmas cards stash.

The challenge required the use of "old" Christmas stamp, die, etc. to make a card. My papers, stamps, dies, and punches have all been retired since 2012.

Here is my card: Warm Up with Christmas Mittens!
