November: Christmas Stamp-A-Stack

It's already time to start planning for those special Christmas cards that everyone loves (and expects) to receive from you! This is the easiest way to make some gorgeous handmade cards without the need to come up with the design, buy stamps and supplies, clear out space at home so that you can cut, stamp, glue, or need to clean up afterwards!  Each design is pre-cut and ready to stamp/die cut and assemble.  Some wording variations are available when possible, and all include premium SU envelopes which you can stamp to match.

• All materials, tools, and supplies are provided, however it is recommended that you bring your own Fast Fuse/SNAIL/roller adhesive for neatness and speed.

• NOTE: Making 3 or more different Design Choices or more than 12 cards may require only making one completed sample of the card, then stamp/emboss/die cut the other parts and then complete assembly at home if needed. (If you are coming with a friend, you may wish to make one or two design(s) each and then swap some cards afterwards.)

DESIGN CHOICES: 

•  #1 = Warmth of Christmas: w/copper foil leaves, 6 different printed Designer paper pieces included; you may switch them around as you wish.  Can be made in portrait or landscape position.
• #2 = JOY Ornament: silver glitter tree with gold star, embossed white background.
• #3 = Embossed Snowflake: on heavy vellum, metallic washi tapes, gold stars.
• #4 = Gold Star/Silver Snowflake Criss-cross pocket card: half of cards will be stars, the other half will be snowflakes.   Note the extra jewel embellishment option (pictured) for $.25 each per card; please state if you'd like this option when you order. Quantities are limited!

October Stamp Class

With the cooler nights and turning of the trees, it's confirmed, Fall is here!  Time to dig out the warmer sweaters, deeper tones, and surround ourselves with Autumn.  For me as a stamper, it's bringing to the forefront all things "leaves".  The first two cards have more traditional colors, but then it's off in both directions, neutrals to brights!  Here we go!

 
The upper left card pulls some favorite Designer Papers from the past and mixes it up with some newer accessories.  Note the gorgeous new  Merry Merlot/shimmery copper ribbon that really sets off the card front!  Added to it is one of the little wood hearts from the Hearts and Stars Elements (still on the Clearance Rack at a great price!), a shiny die-cut copper leaf, a little Falling for Leaves stamp inside, and it's done.  Many of the cards this month feature a coordinating leaf stamp inside without sentiments so that you can add your own, either from stamps I have or written in your own hand.

The next card is made from the Rooted in Nature bundle of stamps and dies.  If you missed the video about this set, see it HERE and note how so many of the Stampin' Up products coordinate so well together.  This card has such a nice strong "wood" feel that it would be great for a "guy card", plus has a combination of details and textures that any cardmaker will feel very satisfied with the result.

In the lower left you'll find the new "darling" of the embossing folders, Tin Tile Dynamic and the Galvanized Metallic Paper.  I wasn't sure about this country/farm style of design, but do seriously love the fantastic detail that this embossing folder produces!  There is another video about additional finishes HERE, but you'll really want to see this in person to appreciate it.  With the neutral leaf colors and unique swing-top opening, this will be another card that's hard to give away.  Solution?  Make more just like it!

The last card uses many of the new Falling for Leaves dies, which are a different, lacier style from most other leaf dies.  Again I pulled a favorite Designer Paper from the past (be sure to order papers when they are available, you won't find them again!) and die cut the leaves from the coordinating patterns.  Although at first glance the card might seem intricate, it's all rather simple: just attaching the pieces with some dimension and no ribbon tying.  Additional sentiments will be available for other occasions as you wish.
