Decembers' First-Saturday-of-the-Month Class

I hold a card class on the first Saturday of each month.

The cards here are from the December Class.

I had such a fun time whipping these up!

Thanks for looking!

This card uses a paper pak I found at Big Lots!

It was a great buy and this funky and sparkly stripe was just what I was hoping to find!

I used the SWEET SEASON stamp set,  TWO (2) TAGS BIGZ die and 5/8" red grosgrain ribbon.

REAL RED stamp pad and the SCALLOPED and 1 3/8" CIRCLE Punch\

I LOVE this CARD!!!

I used a clear acetate sheet, stamped with STAZ-ON OPAQUE WHITE pad, and the

SERENE SNOWFLAKES stamp set. MANY MERRY MESSAGES' NOEL Stamp is the verse.

The silver SCALLOPED OVAL punch is done using foil tape found at the local hardware store.

It was self adhesive so it doesn't show through on the inside.

I adhered the cardstock to the acetate sheet on the back along the folded edge. The WHITE ORGANZA RIBBON really makes the card elegant!

CARDINAL CHRISTMAS is the stamp set.

ALWAYS ARTICHOKE and ROSE RED Cardstock

I used the markers, blender pen and a cd for a pallet to color the cardinal.

The MODERN LABEL PUNCH and the LARGE OVAL PUNCH

are used for the greeting. I trimmed the LARGE OVAL PUNCH

to create the border on the top and bottom, brads to add accent.

I saw this color combination in a mgazine advertisement for some housewares store.

Committed it to memory for a time like this!

It just fell together. NOT QUITE NAVY & CLOSE TO COCOA Cardstock and ink.

PATTERNED PINES Stamp set.

SHIMMERY WHITE PAINT mixed in a travel size spray bottle with rubbing alcohol

and sprayed onto the cardstock create the shimmery background. Vanilla 5/8" grosgrain ribbon is wrapped

around the cocoa cardstock.

DAZZLING DIAMONDS GLITTER  and a 2 way glue pen,

add shimmer to the middle tree.

Thanks for looking and for my class schedule, chek out my website

This set is done in REAL RED and SAHARA SAND.

I used the SERENE SNOWFLAKES set. I borrowed the idea off of

the Stampin' Up! website from a fellow demonstrator.

 

This one is really simple! I used BRAVO BURGUNDY and the BRUSHED GOLD cardstock.

The wreath is made using the twig and berry stamp from AUTUMN DAYS.

Just ink it and stamp in a circle!

I used the MODERN LABEL PUNCH and the WORD WINDOW PUNCH.

The greeting comes from TEENY TINY WISHES.

This card idea was also borrowed from the SU demo website.

I love the simplicity of it. RUBY RED and OLD OLIVE CARDSTOCK really

make the combo POP! The set is SEASON OF JOY and HEARD FROM THE HEART.

I love the GINGERBREAD-IE feel of this

non-traditional color

Christmas card. I used SWEET SEASON stamp set.

PRETTY IN PINK and CLOSE TO COCOA Cardstock.

The PETALS A PLENTY embossing folder and a brayer made the unique background.
