Ho Ho Ho!

Hi Stampers!

Today I want to share a really fun card that we did at class last week.   This card has a little bit of a different fold - which was created from a mess-up!    I wanted to do a trifold card and I scored it wrong - so then I decided rather than throwing the card into the scrap pile I would just score it correctly and at least figure out my sample.  In doing so - I got this idea to put some DSP between those two score lines I had made, and tape it down and before you knew it I had done something new and interesting! 

 
*Stampin Supplies:

• Stamps: Holiday Hoopla (and I will have to look up the others when I get home!)
• Ink: Basic Black
• CS: Real Red, Blushing Bride, Whisper White
• DSP: Candy Cane Christmas
• Big Shot: New Square scallop
• Accessories: Sparkly brads - basics
  Here is how the card looks on the inside.  Can you see where I taped the sides of the red CS down?

Candy Cane Christmas!

Hi Stampers,

Over the next few days I will share a few of the cards we did at our Christmas card class last week - and a few we didn't get to make!   A couple of weeks ago I sat down with the Candy Cane Christmas DSP and I wanted to try to make a few cards with the paper.  Once I got started I couldn't stop!   The colors in this pack of paper are so bright and cherry for Christmas - it makes the cutest cards!     If you haven't ordered some - you need to!
This first card was actually made by Dee Dee Blount - and it was one of the swap cards but I decided to post it here with the rest of the cards made with this pack of DSP!  Dee Dee always makes a cute card and I have to say - I wasn't even going to order this pack of DSP or stamp set, but then when I saw this card I decided I had to!

 
This is a card that I designed for class last week and I absolutely love this card.   I will post the supply list, but I may not get everything right cuz I am in WI this week, and I forgot to bring my catalog:o(    It is sad that I don't have the names of all of our supplies memorized!

*Stampin Supplies:

• Stamps: Cute Christmas, Christmas Classics
• Ink: Black, Garden Green, Baja Blue
• CS: Real Red, Garden Green, Blushing Bride, Whisper White, Baja Blue
• DSP: Candy Cane Christmas
• Punches: Modern label
• Big Shot: Fabulous Trims
• Accessories: Sparkle brads, daubers, markers

Stampin Tips:

• To color the trees - I made a mask and used daubers!  Quick, Easy and it looks great!

Check Back tomorrow for more Candy Cane Christmas cards!
