Although the Holiday Home stamp set is a stamp to be used for other occasions beside Christmas (check out the stamp set image below), today we will look at a Christmas card made at my October class. There’s glitter, embossing, and frosted sequins. At my classes, the motto is “We don’t make mistakes, we do variations!” I display a card sample and provide each attendee …
Lovely As A Tree Sympathy
Here’s another sympathy card. Unfortunatley, I needed to make many of these this summer. I used the Lovely as A Tree stamp as the focal point. Once again, I used my good old companion, the Big Shot. I embossed the Very Vanilla card stock with the woodgrain embossing folder and used my Circles Collection Framelits to mount my tree. Perfect masculine card! Before I embossed …

Kinda Eclectic & Choose Happiness
Here’s a card we made recently at my Friendship Card Class. I combined the Kinda Eclectic, Choose Happiness and Hardwood stamp sets to create this card – 3 favorite sets of mine. This card has a Blushing Bride card stock for the base and then the Whisper White card stock is folded in half – a little different than the usual card base fold. I …

Cherish Friendship . . . You Are Loved
Hello Friends! Here’s a card I forgot to post last month that we did at my technique club. I taught them how to do the Retiform Technique using You Are Loved and Cherish Friendship stamp sets – 2 stamps that are retiring at the end of May. It’s a fun technique and you can make the panels in a different way. What you want to remember is that you need …
Secret Garden Birthday
I wanted a ‘springy’ (my own word for spring-like) type of card and so I decided to use the Secret Garden stamp set and use the Secret Garden Framelits to cut them (better than scissors!) Since my mom was spending her birthday in the hospital, I thought she should have some bright colors to cheer her up. I started out with a center step card so I …
Brick Wall Double Dutch Card
When I discovered the brick wall technique a while back, I knew I had to try it. I loved the look of it. I also wanted to change the usual fold to a fancier fold so I used the double dutch fold technique. The top opens upward and it has two small panels at the bottom that open outward. I love the brick wall technique, and …
