Christmas cards stamp-a-stack class or kit; opt in by November 2nd!

Tomorrow is the last day to get a free package of Gold & Rose Gold Metallic specialty paper from me with a $50 online order! 

Save

I have my last Christmas card class (in the stamp a stack series) this Saturday, on November 6th and I'm offering a kit to go as well as the local class.  Class is at 10 am at my home studio. 

Save

Opt in by November 2nd to get this kit.  There may be some extras but don't count on it!  See it here in my Shop. 

This kit to go includes 3 each of 4 different cards with envelopes and the PDF tutorial as well.  Everything is pre-cut for you but it does not include stamped images or gems. 

The kits will be mailed out via Priority mail mid November.  However if you order any other November kits they'll ship out together at the end of the month. 

I used the Welcoming Woods, Heartfelt Wishes, Snow Wonder & Merry Snowflakes stamps & dies.  You can substitute other stamps or ink that you already own. 

If you want the PDF tutorial only you can find it here. 

Or get all 12 of this years Christmas cards in one PDF tutorial at a nice savings here.

Heads up! The other November kits to go will include the following:

• Eden's Garden collection – NEW!
• Gingerbread & Peppermint DSP – Christmas cards
• Peaceful Christmas Paper Pumpkin kit with bonus projects

December's kit to go will include the Peaceful Place DSP & a few more yet to be made.

• Thoughtful Wishes bundle with a neat masking effect

  What do you think of this monochromatic card?  

  Save

  The colors include Very Vanilla with Pecan Pie & Early Espresso. I used quite a few new Annual Catalog products here. 

  Products used:

  • Thoughtful Wishes bundle seen here
  • Country Woods designer paper
  • So Swirly embossing folder seen here
  • Countryside corner dies for my mask (now seen online)
  • Unbounded Love stamp set

  I added ink inside a die-cut mask with a Blending Brush & Pecan Pie ink before I textured it with the So Swirly embossing folder.  I love the effect!

• Unbounded Beauty card; an easy layout you’ll love to copy!

  May 16, 2024

  ---

  I created this card for my free project tutorial this month – it features the Unbounded Beauty suite. This tutorial is free to everyone who orders from me online. 

  Save

  My colors include Petunia Pop, Basic White and a bit of Summer Splash with the In Color glimmer paper.  The pretty designer paper is called Unbounded Beauty and can be seen here. 

  The greeting stamp & die-cut are both from the same suite – the Unbounded Love bundle seen here.  

  Measurements: 

  • card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score/fold at 4 1/4"
  • Designer paper – start with a piece measuring 3 1/2" square. Cut from the left at 1/2", 3/4", 1" and 1 1/4"
  • White is 4 1/4" X 3" plus a scrap for greeting die-cut

  If you're loving this pretty designer paper you might consider opting in for my Unbounded Beauty card kit to go.  It includes 10 pre-cut cards, approximately $20 in product and the free tutorial – all for $29 plus shipping.  See it here.

• Beautiful but quick cards with the Thoughtful Journey Memories & More card pack

  May 15, 2024

  ---

  I shared this card on last week's FB live video. It starts out with the Thoughtful Journey Memories & More cards and a Basic White Memories & More card base. 

  Save

  I scored the blue card and the front half of the card base in half.  Then added a few short pieces of card stock behind the front layers so that layer pops up. 

  Save

  The size of these pieces do not matter at all.  Some people use one thicker piece on each side; I used two thin pieces.  It allows the top layer to move independently from the front of the card.  See how it's done in this video. 

  Save

  
  You can see these Memories & More cards here. They come in a pack of 28 – half are 3 X 4" and the rest are 4" X 6". They fit our Basic White Memories & More card bases and envelopes perfectly.  They're also a great way to create larger than our usual cards – 4 1/4" X 6 1/4" finished size.  

  I made more beautiful cards with these products, adding a bit of twine to some along with a few printed greetings from the Saying Something Ephemera pack.

  You can see the Saying Something Ephemera pack here.  It's FULL of tons of greetings you can just add to a card or scrapbook page.  I was thrilled when I saw these in the catalog. They're a perfect solution for quick crafting.

  Sometimes you want or need to be able to make quick cards; these items are a wonderful way to do that!
