Christmas Card Class #2 - Nov 5 with Stampin' Up! Products

  • Register now for the November 5 Christmas Card Class
  • October promotions end in a few days; don't miss them

Christmas Card Class #2 - November 5, 2017


Let's create our handmade Christmas Cards together by making these wonderful projects.  This is the second of several Christmas Card classes that I'll be hosting over the next couple of months leading up to the holidays.  Registration is now open for the November 5 class where we'll make the projects below.   

We'll make eight different card designs using a variety of products from the Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog.  This is a great time to get experience with several different products and create several samples you can use to make even more cards on your own.  

  
These are the 8 project we'll make in the November 5 Card Class




We'll create a variety of different card designs using an assortment of die cuts, ribbons and specialty papers to give you loads of ideas for making your own cards.   

All products are available from my Stampin' Up! on-line store, and I recommend ordering any items you plan to use to make more Christmas cards as soon as possible to ensure you have time to work on your Holiday projects.   

I've been working with these products now for a couple of months, and I've had so much fun creating stunning cards and projects quickly and easily.  You'll enjoy the personal touch of creating and sending handmade Christmas cards to friends and family.     


Take a closer look at the projects we'll make in the Meetup Photo album for this class, and register for the class while you're vising my Meetup site.  The photo album includes individual photos of each card we'll make.

Another Stampin' Up! Merry Patterns Christmas Card

  • Cherry Cobbler and Merry Patterns
  • Merry Patterns FREE through October 31 
  • Final week for October Specials

Merry Patterns


Are you tired of Merry Patterns yet?  I'm not!  I'm having a ball with this stamp set.  It lends itself to  so many wonderful ideas.  Take a look later in my post to see some the collection I've created so far with this set.  I've been working in a Cherry Cobbler and Basic Gray color palette with this two-step stamp set.  Today's card continues with these same colors, and it is my favorite of this series so far.        
  
  



The basecard for today's card is Cherry Cobbler, then a layer of Whisper White.  Then a layer of one of the patterns from the Be Merry Designer Series Paper from the main catalog.   






The image layer includes a Foil Snowflake turned over to the white side.  Then the candle image from Merry Patterns was stamped on Whisper White and die cut using the Layering Ovals Framelits.  One of the scalloped Layering Ovals created a matt for the candles image in Cherry Cobbler.  

A bow of 3/8" Metallic Edge ribbon was added below the stamped image and attached with glue dots.  Two banners, one in Basic Gray, and the other in Whisper White, were added for the sentiment.  The sentiment was stamped in Cherry Cobbler on the Whisper White banner. 






Here's a look at the 5 cards I've created so far this week with the Merry Patterns set...and I don't think I'm finished.  You can see closeups of the previous cards if you missed my posts from Monday and Tuesday this this week.     

This is a great set that you can't buy, but you can get it FREE with a $300 (less tax and shipping) order placed before the end of October.
