FOR SALE: Christmas in July Stamps

Hello, everyone & happy Monday!

Since last Thursday's show I have been on the phone with the manufacturers of the Christmas stamps I bought at Great American Scrapbook Convention. During Thursday's show, we discussed using these stamps for an upcoming Christmas in July {and August & September} card & gift series. I now know FOR SURE that I will be able to get as many of these stamps as we need, so I can make all of them available to anyone who wants them! Yay!

To ensure that everyone who wants any of the July stamps gets exactly what they want, I will be taking pre-orders this week. The pre-order period will close at 11:59 PM Eastern USA time on Sunday, July 8, 2012. I will place the orders on Monday, July 9, 2012, so be sure to check out before the pre-order period closes if you want to be sure there are stamps for you! While I will be ordering a FEW extra stamps, we will not order much over what is pre-ordered, so if you know you want these stamps, please be sure to get your pre-order in this week. I don't want anyone to miss out on the fun!

The pre-order prices below include shipping. Each drop down box has options for the stamp price + USA, Canadian or International shipping via USPS First Class Mail. Please be sure to choose the selection that's right for you.

There is also the "I Want Them All!" option which includes all the stamps at a 10% discount off MSRP with shipping via USPS Priority Mail!
If you order more than one stamp & we can combine shipping to save you money, we will do so & refund you the difference via PayPal.

I Want Them All: $66.85

Stamps will ship as soon as I get them from the manufacturers. The class dates will not be set until all the stamps have arrived to me and been shipped to you ~ that way everyone will have a chance to get their stamps before the class.

Above are samples of the cards we will be making during the card series. We will be making at least TWO cards using each stamp set. One will be designed for mass production for mailing to lots of people & one will be more detailed for hand delivery to a few people. So we will be making all the cards shown above and then some!

I have been considering having an additional class specifically for these stamp creations, rather than trying to work the "Christmas in July" concept into my regular Thursday schedule. What do you all think about that idea? Let me know in the comments!

Thanks for stamping along with me on this! I think it's going to be SO MUCH FUN and I am really excited about these projects!

P.S. The rest of the stamps shown on USTREAM will be made available in August and September before the relevant card classes.
