Wonder of Christmas

Wonder of Christmas and Onstage Swaps

Today’s cards are 2 Christmas swaps I received at Onstage Secaucus. The first card was made with the Wonder of Christmas. The second card made with Peaceful Pines was made by Judy Hyde. At last month’s class, we made  this card using the Wonder of Christmas. Whether you decide to color the angel or not, it makes a nice Christmas card. Since I was going to use my …

Painter's Palette

Christmas With Painter’s Palette

Today’s Christmas card features Painter’s Palette and 4 other stamp sets. We made this card at my Christmas in July card class before the holiday catalog was live. Many times a little thinking out of the box allows you to take a stamp that wasn’t intended for Christmas and create a Christmas card like this one. Here are the details for this card: the swirls …

Merry Mice

Merry Mice

Merry Mice is such a cute set and I had fun creating this card with this trio of mice. As I’ve mentioned before I love making square cards. The only drawback to a square card is that you pay a little extra postage for it, unless you make a smaller square card than a 5″ x 5″. My card today is a 4-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ …

Merriest Wishes Shaker Card

Merriest Wishes Shaker Card

The Merriest Wishes Shaker Card is a simple yet elegant card, don’t you think? Just in case you overlooked this stamp set along with the Merry Tags Framelits, you can find it on page 21 of the Holiday Catalog. The Merriest Wishes sentiment is stamped in Soft Sky and Cherry Cobbler ink, but that was totally unintentional although I like the the way it turned …

Time of Year Christmas

Time of Year

Happy World Card Making Day! Hope you’re finding time to stamp today. Today’s card features the Time of Year Host stamp. You can make quick and easy cards because the Thinking of You sentiment is the main focus. After stamping Thinking of You,  stamp the occasion and die cut with the Bunch of Banners Framelits popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. For my 1st card, I used …

Oh What Fun

Oh What Fun Tag Card

I recently had my tag class using the Oh, What Fun Project Tag Kit. We had lots of fun making them. They look even better in person than in the catalog. I took one of the tags and made it into this quick and easy card.  The kit comes with enough supplies to make 30 tags so I was okay using one of them for …

Wondrous Wreath

Wondrous Wreath Pillow Box

Don’t these look great? I gave these out to all those who came to my Christmas card class last month filled with candy. I love everything about this box–the Square Pillow Box thinlit, the Wondrous Wreath stamp and framelit, the brick wall embossing folder and the gold cord trim. I’m planning to make some more and try some other designs to give out this Christmas. They’re …

Dove of Peace

Dove of Peace

Isn’t this dove beautiful embossed in gold? This is one of the cards we did for my Christmas Card class earlier this month. The Dove of Peace stamp comes with the sentiment right below it but I decided that I wanted to separate it from the dove and give the sentiment its own wood block that way I can always use it separate from the …

Merry Christmas!

Christmas is a special day . . . a time to celebrate the birth of Jesus, the reason for this season. He came as a helpless baby and millions have experienced his love and the peace that only He can give. He changes lives forever. How thankful I am that He is my Savior. Today I want to share with you a song that is …

Open Sleigh Stamp

Want to See Convention Swap # 3?

Here’s swap #3.  I used the faux layer technique (one of my favorites!) on this card using the Open Sleigh stamp set.  This is a great stamp to make easy cards if you don’t have a lot of time but want to make your own Christmas cards.
