December 2015 Stamp-A-Stack (SAS)

With Christmas right around the corner, it's time to make up those hand-made holiday cards that you'll want to give to those special people in your life.  Design choices include a little bit of everything this year: vellum "snow" with Soft Sky snowflakes, sophisticated black and gold candles, modern glitter and vellum with a die-cut ornament, and traditional Christmas trees and tag in reds and greens. As always, each design is pre-cut and ready to be stamped and assembled in one sitting.  No need for you to come up with the design, buy stamps and supplies, clear out a space at home, or clean up the mess afterwards!  Bring a friend along so that you can have some creative fun together and both leave with your completed cards in hand!

• All materials, tools, and supplies are provided, however you are advised to bring along your own Fast Fuse/SNAIL/roller adhesive for neatness and speed. 
• Note: making multiple designs may require making one completed sample of a design, then stamp/emboss the other parts to be assembled at home as needed.

November Stamp Class

As mentioned in the blog's sidebar for this month, here are the four cards for this month's class which showcase some kind of  "window" as the design focal point. With two for fall and the others for Christmas, we'll be more ready for the holidays that are quickly approaching!

The first card actually has ... a real window!  With "glass" and a window frame, there is a cute little acorn dropping in on the front and another inside to complete the view of the autumn scene. The second card below it has a different style, featuring a "window" inlaid leaf surrounded by embossed tree trunks, an engraved wood accent on cotton ribbon, and gorgeous colors throughout.  Both would be so warmly received as a thank you or special note card during this month.

Christmas is not that far off, so now is a good time to get some holiday cards going! The top right card shows off the currently popular color scheme of black, white, and gold. On the front, a glitter window is accented with washi tape and sequins, then surrounded by beautiful gold accented Designer printed papers. Inside, there's a white embossed area to express your Christmas wishes and a pocket below for a gift card or dollar bills, With all the rich gold shine and embossing, this gift holder is truly luscious and looks much richer than the little gift card folders from the stores.  The lower right card has all sorts of razzle dazzle, with sparkly bling in the shaker window behind the shiny red foil ornament, glimmer paper, silver ribbon, and snowflake printed vellum. For those of you who love to give cards with flair and glitz, these are for you!
