Sep 23, 2012 | cards, Christmas, Events, Seasonal Catalogue
This is the card I showed a sneak peek of earlier this week. We had a lot of fun at the Stamp a Stacks this week, and everyone went home with 8 cards and 2 tags ready for the holiday season – plus the remainder of Basic Rhinestone "bling" that they didn't use on their cards in class.
I love the Ornament Keepsakes Bundle from Stampin' Up!'s Holiday catalogue. Every single image has a coordinating framelit that you can use with your Big Shot to perfectly cut out the image. We paired a couple of ornaments with the Northern Flurry Embossing Folder, added the bling and created a beautiful, elegant card for someone special. Well, for those who came to the Stamp a Stack, TWO someone specials since they get to make two of every card and tag.
If you're interested in building up your Christmas Card stash, the next Christmas Stamp a Stacks are in October – Thursday, October 18th in the evening (doors open at 6:30 pm), or Sunday, October 21st 1pm start. See the events page or contact me to register. Payment due in advance please & thanks.

Sep 18, 2012 | Big Shot, cards
I love these bright colours for a card (though I might not choose them as a fashion statement for my clothing…)! They are not necessarily my "usual" colours that I use, but I really like the end result. I think I'll be making a bunch of these to send to demonstrators in my downline group 🙂
The card uses the "You're Amazing" stamp set, cut out with one of the Apothecary Accents Framelits, and paper piercing with the Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack to accent the shape of the framelit. I love how everything coordinates!
If you're looking for an easy way to grow your card stash in time for the holidays, there are still a few spots left in this week's Christmas Stamp a Stacks – Thursday evening and Sunday afternoon. See the events page or contact me. I will have everything cut and prepped for you, you come and stamp, Big Shot and assemble!
