Christmas Card #13 Still Night

Hey Guys!

The owl in Still Night is one of my favorites.  I love the dies in the bundle because not only does it cut out the owl & branch but it also cuts out pine boughs to make the branch look great!  The set has 4 dies to cut out the boughs so you don’t spend all your time cutting one at a time!

I changed up very little from this idea off Pinterest from Nicole

The specifics for my card:

Hey Guys!

I’ve been getting ready for my Christmas card class that’s next month!  I plan on doing 3 Classes with 6 cards each class.  That is A LOT of planning! Each person will make 3 of each of the 5 cards and 1 special card!  That’s 16 cards that everyone makes at each class!

The New Holiday Catalog is here from Stampin’ Up! and I’ve been having fun using all my new goodies!  Are you ready to start seeing the 1st of my 6 cards?!

Here is card #1:

This was VERY fun to make! I used the New stamp set His Light on top of the Bokeh Stamp set, but this isn’t the bokeh it is the star one in the same stamp set.   I stamped the Bokeh ‘star’ stamp in Night of Navy, then stamped ‘Rejoice’ in Memento Black.  This is SUCH a pretty card in person!  Here is the inside:

I love that I can make a card that really tells the true meaning of Christmas!

Here are the Particulars:

A NON Christmas Card using Farmhouse Christmas

Hey Guys!

I am so excited that as a demonstrator for Stampin’ Up!, that I get to purchase NEW items a month before they are available to the public!  I wanted to use them right away BUT didn’t necessarily want to do Christmas.  So, my dilemma……….how do I use these obvious Christmas sets and NOT have it be Christmas.

I got out the Farmhouse Christmas stamp set, decided to use the tree  AND the incredible fence!!  Did you see the fence!!??  I stamped the tree on Soft Suede using Early Espresso ink. This stamp set better stick around because I can use that fence for a lot of things!  Follow this link to see my video.

Isn’t it the cutest!!??  Not sure if you can see the Glitter snow in front of the fence, but in person it is very shiny and sparkly!  The tree has snow in all its crannies.  I used the Fine-Tip Glue pen to go over the white (used the chalk marker) and then sprinkled Dazzling Diamonds over the wet glue.  I forgot how much I LOVE Dazzling Diamonds!  I will be getting that out a lot more.

I stamped the ‘Love You’ from the Enjoy Life stamp set using Versamark and white embossing powder.

I layered these onto a piece of Early Espresso, but before I layered these onto white I wrapped some Burlap Ribbon around and adhered a True Gentleman button in the middle.  If you look closely you can see a Rhinestone that I colored with the Bronze Blend to go into the middle of the button (I HATE threading linen thread through those tiny holes!).  The final layer is Soft Suede to tie in all the colors.

I’m planning on doing this card in a class this month.  Hope they like it as much as I do!

Below are all the supplies I used for this card.  Click on any picture to be taken to my OnLine Store!

Rooted in Nature Masculine card

Hey Guys!

I don’t know about you, but I LOVE checkered paper!  Well, the great news is that Stampin’ Up! has come out with an awesome stamp that lets you have a checkered pattern on any cardstock in any color!

I used Soft Suede cardstock and stamped the Buffalo Check in Black.  It came out so nice!!  I stamped the Big Oak tree from Rooted in Nature and die cut it (thank God, no more fussy cutting!), put it on a square piece of Black and it really popped.  Once I put it on the Checkered pattern I was in love!  I used the Black 3/8″ Glittered Organdy Ribbon from the NEW 2018 Holiday Catalog.  It was the perfect touch!  Instead of doing what I normally do, I placed the ribbon over the square, because it looked great with the tree ‘sitting’ on it!  I hope you like it!

I’m teaching a class on the 10th at our local Senior Center, this will be one of the cards we will be making!

I have so much fun rubber stamping.  When I was a young adult my sister started painting on porcelain making dolls and pottery.  I was so impressed with her artistic ability.  I thought well God gave her a gift, I am NOT artistic!  Then I started stamping, at first I copied everything, then slowly started changing things up.  I am so happy to tell you, I AM artistic!  WOOHOO! I joined Stampin’ Up! over 15 years ago, and can’t see my life NOT doing this.  If you would like to join my team, I would love to help you be artistic too!

Christmas in July Final Card #6

Hey guys,

I’ve been sharing with you all the Christmas cards I did for my Christmas in July class……hope you have liked them so far!

Today is the Bonus Card where my guests only made 1 of this one. The reason is because I would have had to buy at LEAST 4 – 5 packages just for this one Designer paper since I had 10 people come and if they each did 3, well you do the math!

This was one of my favorites that we made.  I love plaid and the green with the blue is so pretty!  Plus the trees stamped on the front really remind me of picking out Christmas trees!  Does it you?

Here is the front of the card:

And the inside:

Isn’t this a pretty card!?

I added Wink of Stella under the trees on the front and under the one on the inside to give it the ‘snowy’ feeling.  One of the trees is popped up on the front to add dimension.

The supplies are listed below, click on any picture to be taken to my OnLine Store!   This is the end of my Christmas cards, be sure to come back to see what I make next time!

Thank you for supporting me!
