Jolly Old Saint Nick

Hello Everyone,

Another Christmas card!  This card I cased from my downline Alisha W.  I have got to admit, this stamp set did not jump out at me at first.  But, now I love the traditional Santa look of it.  It makes me feel very festive! 

This card was very easy to make.  I first stamped the Santa with StazOn ink on the whisper white CS and colored it in with Stampin' Pastels.  You could use Basic Black ink too, but you would not be able to color it in as easy.  StazOn ink is like a sharpie ink pad.  The regular ink needs more time to dry and can bleed your colors if you color it in too early.  Then I put the rest of the pieces together.  The Choclate Chip ribbon is tied in a simple knot. 

Here are the materials I used:

Stamps: Jolly Old Saint Nick
Paper: Holly Jolly DSP, Old Olive CS, Cherry Cobbler CS, Very Vanilla CS
Ink: Black StazOn, Choclate Chip
Accessories: Stampin' Pastels, Choclate Chip ribbon

Contempo Christmas

If you know me you know I love Christmas!  It is my absolute favorite time of the year.  I start thinking about Christmas in July!  Crazy, I know! 

I have been making Christmas samples for some time now, but now that Halloween is almost here it feels like the perfect time to share them.  Plus, Stampin' Up! has released a new promotion that starts on 10/19 and it is 20% off select Holiday Bundles. 

Today's cards feature the Contempo Christmas stamp set and the Jolly Holiday DSP. I also added some ribbon and rinestones to make it sparkle.  These cards were super easy and fast to make.  If you purchase the bundle listed above I will send you the measurements to all of the pieces on the cards.

October Stamp A Stack

Good Morning,

Last week was my monthly Stamp a Stack class in Elk Grove, California.  Each month participants make 10-12 projects in 3 fun hours.  These are the projects that they made.  I was not able to host the class, but my friend Alisha took my place.  I heard everyone had a great time!  The goal this month was to make a couple Halloween projects and some masculine cards. 

Interested in this class?  The next class is on Nov. 12.  Click HERE for registration details.

I will have more details on these projects later this week.

Happy Stampin'!

Baby Announcements

Hello!

A few weeks ago I helped my sister in law make these cute baby announcements.  The ribbon is attached to a pull out card where the baby's birth details are listed.  Although this stamp set is retired, you can apply the same concept with another similar baby stamp set.  We had a lot of fun making these!  Doesn't she look cute with her big girl head band?!

Have a great night!
