Double Duty 2024 - Christmas

In January of 2021, my stamping comrades Barb and Kelly and I debuted a new series/challenge. Double Duty was Barb's idea... and it is a GREAT idea! I've had so much fun with this series. Thanks for inviting me to play along, Barb!

This is Barb's description of the Double Duty concept...

Each month, we get to pick a stamp set from a predetermined company. Then, we will use that one stamp set and make two cards from the set.  Different images and sentiments from the same set can be used, or use the same image two different ways—Double Duty either way!  But, as an added challenge, one item must be used on both cards—same color cardstock, same ribbon, same stencil, same something.  Double Duty Again!  Post both cards on your blog on the same day—the 22^nd of each month.  See-Double Duty again!  Have fun getting doubly inky each month with a different stamp company.  Let’s have fun!

Over the past year, things have changed a bit in who's participating, but not in the instructions. This year's Double Duty crafters are Barb, Carol, Darlene, and me.

Instead of having a company this month, we were to choose a Christmas stamp from any company and use it on both cards. I chose one of the images from the WPlus9 Poinsettia Bouquets stamp set.

Card #2

The thing/s that are the same on both cards (as per the challenge specifications) are: the embellishments.

Let's check out the other Double Duty cards, too...

Keep in mind, I am a day early posting this month, since tomorrow will be busy here on my blog, so my comrades won't have their cards posted until tomorrow.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!
