Nov 29, 2017 | 2017 Holiday Catalog, Cards, Christmas |
I heard from a few people that they are already done making all their cards and ready to get them in the mailbox! That is wonderful! I stopped in the post office yesterday and picked up some holiday stamps. They had a variety of choices – have you done that yet?
I love how this card turned out. I used the Foil Frenzy Specialty Designer Series Paper. It is so much nicer in person than how it looks in the catalog. For my cards I used the Soft Sky patterns but I think the other colors would be fun too – at least the Lemon Lime Twist and Berry Burst would be bright and cheerful for the holidays. The Tangerine Tango I will save for something else.
I used the Watercolor Wishes set again. I’ve been using it a bunch the last couple of months. And I have more card kits and I may have a little pop-up class to make some more of the kit cards – I’m going to look for a day in early December to fit that in.
The Layering Oval framelits are the two layers of the greeting – a Whisper White oval to stamp the greeting on – and I used Basic Black ink. Then the Soft Sky scallopped oval in the back. Layer it on a piece of the Foil Frenzy. I finished with a little bit of Baker’s Twine. It’s a quick card to put together but the foil really makes it shine!

Christmas card season is upon us. I received my first one in the mail yesterday. How about you? Have you made yours? Have you planned anything yet? Well if you need some inspiration I’ve got ideas to share with you. So keep coming back to see what is new on my blog.
Today I have a card that uses the Christmas Quilt bundle from the Holiday catalog. This one actually came about because of left over pieces I had from another card. I’ll share that one on another day because I apparently didn’t take any photos of it yet.
The bundle includes the Christmas Quilt stamp set and the Quilt Builder Framelits Dies. I also used the coordinating Quilted Christmas Designer Series paper. The greeting is stamped in Garden Green. My card base is the Thick Whisper White card stock. The very center is finished with a pearl.
You can get all the items for this card in my online store.

Well in the case of my card – Happy OWLoween!
It’s a fun card using products from the Spooky Night Suite.
The fun Spooky Night Designer Series Paper has the spooky trees that you can stamp the owl right on to. Then I used the witches hat print and cut out a hat to add on the owl. And the eyes are sparkly with the Black Rhinestones.
I stamped the Happy OWLoween stamp and punched with the 1″ circle punch and then used a 1/16″ punch for a tiny hole to string some Black Baker’s Twine through.
TIP: I often take my clear mount stamps and cut them apart when images and words are on the same stamp. So when I want to use them separately I can. And when I want to use them together I just mount them back together on my clear block. In this set the owl eyes and the Happy OWLoween together but I cut them apart.
Have a Happy Halloween!

Here is another quick note card – well this one may take a little bit longer – it uses the Big Shot. But it’s still cute and quick once you have your die cuts. Well I guess technically the last card I posted also had a die cut – so really this one is just as quick as that one.
This one uses the same Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper – yes I love that paper. Even the designs that I didn’t think I was going to like or use I’ve been using. I think I’m on my third pack right now. These are the Very Vanilla Notecards and envelopes. The paper is cut to 3×4 – so you can get 12 pieces from one 12×12 piece of the designer series paper.
I used Gold Foil Sheets on this one and die cut the little flourish – two of them – from the Flourish Thinlits dies. The card and envelope are stamped with the Flourshing Phrases stamp set. I used my Triple Banner Punch to punch the end of a 1″ strip of card stock for my greeting. And then finished with some Very Vanilla Baker’s Twine.
Don’t forget about the sale on Designer Series Paper. You can order your products HERE.
Enjoy!
Oct 13, 2017 | 2017 Holiday Catalog, Christmas, class |
This weekend is my first Christmas card class of the season. I’m starting with a class featuring the Watercolor Christmas Project Kit from the Holiday Catalog. The kit makes some really beautiful cards and I added stamping on my envelopes too.
Everyone coming to the class will get a start on their cards for the season – we will finish 20 cards in this class.
But today I wanted to show you how fun the coordinating stamp set is. This is a card I made with the stamp set.
I used the Watercolor Christmas stamp set along with Tranquil Tide card stock and ink. I added a piece of the Wood Textures Designer Paper Stack (It’s part of the paper sale going on this month). The large circle is cut with the Layering Circle Framelits.
The Corrugated Elements embellishment and the little stamped hand cut tree are stapled on. Yes I still use my retired Stampin’ Up! stapler. But any stapler will do – this one just uses smaller staples than those normal office sized ones.
It’s a quick and easy card. With just a few supplies you could make a stack of these and add them to the stack from the project kit and be ready for your holiday card sending in no time.
Thanks for visiting.
