Christmas 2011

WOW, I can't believe that it has been a whole year since I have posted...

I made a very special Christmas card for my Staff this year. Each year, I have to ensure that it is more "interactive" than the previous year. I think I did a good job creating this card for them. The front is a Waterfall card and when you pull it, the Snowman's face "melts"

Then when you open it, it is a 3D Snowman...

I will try and post a picture of the Ladies with their cards. I sure hope they like them as much as I enjoyed making these cards for them. I have the best staff and they mean the world to me!!

Patterned Pines

This card was made using the level one hostess set from the Holiday Mini. Ink and card stock are Garden Green and Ruby Red.

Christmas Cards...

Here is another card using the Tree Trimmings stamp set

Christmas Stamp a Stack, continued...

This card uses the Tree Trimmings and Sweet Season stamp sets. There are a few spots left in the Christmas Stamp a Stack. If you are interested, email me right away to hold a spot for you!

This is another card for our Stamp a Stack. It uses the flocked DSP from the Christmas Cocoa Specialty available in the Mini Catalogue. The stamp sets used are Sweet Season and Christmas Greetings.

Christmas Stamp a Stack

This is one of the cards We will be doing for my Christmas Stamp a Stack. I used the Dasher and Merriment stamps, along with the Merry Moments DSP.

Convention Swap

This is one of my Convention Swaps I made using Circle Circus. I made them into Christmas ornaments! The ink colors I used are Melon Mambo and Green Galore.

Snow Swirl Card

This is the card that I created for a Shoebox Swap I am doing this week. It was very easy.  I used the snowflakes from the Snow Swirled Stamp set, along with Pink Pirouette, Riding Hood Red, Kiwi Kiss ink and card stock.  I also used shimmery white card stock and the satin kiwi kiss ribbon.  

DSP Card

Another card created with the scraps from the Ski Slope DSP.  Then I used the Hostess Level 1 stamp set Punches Three

Another Christmas Card

This is a simple card I created using Pink Pirouette and Riding Hood Red card stock and ink.  I also used the Ski Slope DS paper, the New Scallop Edge punch and Pretty in Pink Taffeta ribbon.  I used the stamp from Heard from the Heart set.

Did you know that there is only 60 days and Christmas will be here???

Christmas Card Class; continued...

This is the last card that we are doing for our Christmas Card class coming up this weekend.  

This card uses the New "In Colors"; Baja Breeze and Riding Hood Red cardstock, Chocolate Chip ink, the Little Felt Flurries, Ski Slope DS Paper, Ribbon Originals (all from the Holiday Mini Catalogue) and one of the stamps from the Upcoming Country Living Holiday Collection Stampin' Kit Promotion which is available starting November 1st.

I hope you enjoyed these cards.  If you are interested in doing these cards, get a group together and I will come to you!

Christmas Card Class; continued...

This fourth card I saw on Splitcoast Stampers.  

I wanted to use a different colour combination to make it brighter.  So I chose Real Red, Green Galore and Gable Green as well as the same ink colours.  I used the new scallop square punch and real red grosgrain ribbon.  The stamp sets used are Baroque Motifs and the level 1 Hostess set; Punches Three.  

See you tomorrow for the last card.

Christmas Card Class; continued...

The third card that we will be doing uses most of the new "In Colors".  They are:  Pacific Point, Baja Breeze, Kiwi Kiss, Riding Hood Red and Pink Pirouette.  I have also used the same colours of ink.  The stamp sets are Heard from the Heart and the level 3 Hostess Seasonal Icons stamp set from the Holiday Happenings Bundle.  I also used silver cord and ribbon to give the "hanging" effect of the ornaments.

Christmas Card Class; continued...

This second card that we will be doing uses Bravo Burgundy,  Brushed Gold and Shimmery White card stock.  Coordinating ink used is Bravo Burgundy and Handsome Hunter.  I used the Big Shot Die-Cut machine to cut the Top Note and used the Snow Swirled stamp set for the images.  I also used gold brads and the horizontal slot punch and added gold ribbon to decorate the card.

See you tomorrow!

Christmas Card Class

This is 1 of 5 Christmas Cards that I will be doing for my Christmas Card class next weekend.  

It uses Ruby Red and Chocolate Chip card stock, along with same ink.  I also used the Ski Slope DS paper (from the Holiday Mini Catalogue); old olive grosgrain ribbon, and the following stamp sets: Snow Swirled and Curly Label Punch Bunch.

Come back tomorrow to see the second card we will be doing.

Tis the Season...

Can you believe that there is only 66 DAYS till Christmas???  I can't believe it!  I had some left over Designer Paper Scraps while preparing for a class, so I made this card. I like how it turned out.  It reminds me a bit of Scrapbook Guru; Ali Edwards style how she likes to use square punches.
