One Sheet Wonder - Christmas Challenge Stampathon 2018

Wow! Is it already August?! I can not believe summer is coming to an end, I will miss the hot temps, swimming at the lake, BBQ's, and not being chilled to the bone.

But......

I do love Christmas, and I am always busy with other things that yes, a cardmaker, I sometimes forget to get all of my cards in the mail.

This is one reason I am loving these monthly challenges.

This month, we are asking you to create cards from a One-Sheet-Wonder.

This can be exciting and scary, but there are many templates on Pinterest if you get stuck with the measurements.

Here is the breakdown on why we started this challenge....

Do you find yourself scrambling to get your Christmas cards out in December?  Make creative tags for your packages?  Gift and Treat bags? Home Decor?

Well, a group of talented demonstrators and myself have decided to collaborate to help,all of us, not to feel rushed in December.  I have their links below, for you to view their projects as well.

It's called the Christmas Challenge Stampathon 2018!!!  There is even some prizes involved, yay!!!

Everyone is welcome to join in the Challenge, including demonstrators.  You are encouraged to share with your customers.

This is a collaboration between Stampin' Up! Demonstrators in the US, UK and Australia.

The Challenge is set on the 25th of the month on each of the organizers Facebook pages and will then have followup information on their blogs and YouTube channels.

The deadline for submission is 11pm on the 24th of the following month in your respective time zone.

And don't worry if you don't have any Christmas stamp set's yet, you can use just about any stamp set.
