Triple Time Stamping Christmas Card

Hi there friends!  My poor neglected blog was screaming to be updated.  It has been a while...  Can't believe how much time has flown by and now it's almost Christmas.  It's the time of year when we make the most cards for our friends and family so I want to share with you this very simple and easy to make card.

The technique is called Triple Time Stamping and it's been quite popular lately.  I used the new Snowflake Soiree Stamp set from the Holiday Mini Catalog.  It's one of the very first set I got when the catalog came out because I love Snowflakes.  If you need to make a lot of cards, this one is sure to be a pretty easy one to mass produce.

Clear Christmas Cards in a Box Class

Hello December!!!  Can't believe that this is my first post in December.  I had been sooo very busy the last few weeks trying to finish up all my Stamp Club Meetings and classes early so that I can tend to personal stuff before Christmas is here.  So, Friday was my last club meeting and now I am able to post again. 

Today I want to share with you the Clear Christmas Cards in a Box Class that I offered the last week of November.  It was a big hit!  I was actually so surprised at how many people signed up to take the class.  The class comes with 6 Clear Cards, 6 matching envelopes and the box.  I charged $25 for the class if it was pre-paid or $30 at the door.   Just a warning...this post will be picture heavy so keep scrolling down!

I used the Treat Box that you can find on the Clearance Rack, cut the top off and made the lid for it using cardstock and Letters To Santa Designer Series Paper.

I used the Window Sheets for the cards and also taught different techniques like how to color the rhinestones, dry embossing with the Big Shot, Embossing with the heat gun, using Smooch spray, distressing and a lot of other cool stuff.  

I am taking a break from classes in December but will be back for more classes in January.  Hope you like what I shared with you today!

Thank You

This is a card that I made last year around Thanksgiving that I had forgotten to share here on my blog.  Since the stamp set I used is still current, I thought it would be nice to share.

I want to wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving!  This year, I am thankful for my family, good health and great friends.  I feel blessed and I hope I can be a blessing to someone else too in my own little way.

Thanksgiving Wreath

Today's project is a labor of love.  My friend and I got together to re-create the wreath from the Holiday Mini Catalog and what we thought was an easy project to do, turned out to be a 4 day project, well, at least 4 hours per day.  I love love love the way it turned out though and I am glad that I had a friend to craft with while making this project because I probably would have given up finishing it if I was doing it by myself.

Like I said on my last post, I have been using the Spice Cake Designer Series Paper a lot lately and this is another project made with it.  I think this is the first time I have used a DSP this much.  I usually just hoard them :-)

 

Of course I had to put my own touch to my wreath so I put some butterflies all over it.  I really love the way it turned out.  I hope you do too!
