One more Fall card

It is officially still Fall, so I thought I would sneak in one more fall card. I had a project that I need lots of leaves for. So I used my Big Shot leaf die. The Early Espresso cardstock was the piece left, so I attached scraps of designer series paper behind. Then I wrapped baker cord around the piece, after I strung some punched jewelry tags that were each stamped with "hello".

I hope you all have a blessed Thanksgiving. And wishing you lots of Black Friday bargains if you shop - not me, I avoid all stores on Friday.

Multi-page Fall card

This is one of the cards we made at my last stamp class, along with a Christmas card. I just love the way this Thanksgiving one turned out. Ignore the tiny clothespin - it's only there to hold the card open for picturing. It looks a bit yellow due to the lightbulb. In other words, not the best lighting. But I wanted to share it with you.

The base of this card is 4 1/4 x 11 inches.

I scored it at 3 1/2, 4, 4 1/2, 5, and 5 1/2.

From there you can make the attached flaps any size you want.

If you try this card, I'd love to see yours!

I thought this card style would also work well for Christmas cards where you would like to tuck in a picture.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

And don't forget - it's time to order your supplies for your Christmas cards.

Let your family know that I do both gift certificates and gift wrapping.

More Christmas cards

I'd like to share a couple more Christmas cards with you.

This first card uses the following items from the Holiday mini catalog:

Christmas lodge stamp set

Frostwood Lodge designer series paper

Dazzling details

The second card uses:

Come to Bethlehem stamp set (from big catalog)

3/8" velvet stitched ribbon (Holiday mini)

Antique brad (from big catalog)

and the oval out of the Oval scallop frame die-cut.

Hope these ideas will help inspire you. Come on back. I'll have more in a few days.

In the meantime, don't forget to call with your supply order. What better time to get together and stamp with the girls while the guys are out deer hunting. Get your Christmas cards ready, spend some much needed girl time, and go home with finished cards. You know those cards are on your to-do list anyways.

Happy stamping!

More Christmas cards

I'd like to share a couple more cards with you.

This first card uses the Come to Bethlehem stamp set and the Frame,Oval scallop Big Shot die - all from the Idea Book & Catalog.

For this second card I used the Stocking builder punch, Frostwood Lodge designer series paper, along with the mini jingles bells from the Holiday mini catalog. I also added a couple paper clips for the blades on the ice skates.

If you would like to join in on the next Christmas card stack-a-stamp - please contact with a time that works for you and a couple of your friends.

Don't let Christmas sneak up on you

I have such good intentions of posting here regularly, but life seems to get in the way. I had a Christmas Card Stamp-a-Stack this past Friday evening. We had a good time. So I wanted to share the cards we did with you.

This first card uses The Sounding Joy stamp set from the Holiday mini catalog and the Cherry Cobbler quilted satin ribbon, also in that mini.

This next card is my non-traditional Christmas colors card. I used the Polar Party stamp set from the big Idea Book & Catalog (IB&C) with the new In Colors.

This last card uses the Stripes embossing folder for the background, Easy Events stamp set from the IB&C. The Merry Christmas image from the Easy Events set was embossed in gold on black, then I punched out the center of the of the buds or berries with the Crop-a-dile and put a piece of the red glitter paper behind the black circle.

I have a few more Christmas cards I'll share soon.
