More Christmas cards

I wanted to share a couple more Christmas cards that I have been working on.
The first one used the Snow Burst textured impressions emblossing folder and the Peekaboo Frames Bigz L Die from the Holiday mini catalog. Along with the doily triple layer and the decorative label punches from the Idea Book & Catalog.
The second cards are using the stocking builder punch and the silver & red glitter paper also from the Holiday mini catalog.
It's not too late to order supplies for you Christmas cards. Contact me today.

Another multi-page card

I loved the multi-page fall card, so decided to do it in Christmas.
Once again, disregard the mini clothespin -it's only there to hold the pages open or shut as needed for picturing.
Some of the supplies I used:
Postage stamp punch - #122344
Eyelet border punch - #119853
Doily Triple layer punch - #122465
Peekaboo frames Big Shot Die - #124587
Silver glimmer paper - #124005
(last two items are in the Holiday mini catalog)

The base cardstock is Night of Navy - it appears to be different in some of the pictures.
I hope you like this card. Please leave me a comment.

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!
