Beyond the Holidays: Stretching Holiday Stamps
Hello! It is that time of year when crafty companies are releasing lots of holiday products. So I thought it would be fun to share ideas to stretch these stamps and dies and use them for non-holiday cards.

Getting new looks from your stamps is always fun. But being able to use your holiday stamps all year is even better! Be sure to watch my video for all the ideas.
Here are the cards from my video along with the main products features. For the full supply, scroll down to the thumbnails at the end of this post.
