just to say how much I enjoy this show….
(Glee)
(and I just found out that Canadians can watch it online at globaltv.com)
We will now return to our regular blogging schedule…LOL Until then…looking forward to getting together with the Stamp Club members this evening!
With thanks and appreciation.
Here's another Christmas Card Clinic sample. The angel from Stampin' Up!'s Holy Triptych stamp set gets a shimmer from the shimmer paints plus iridescent ice embossing powder. The shimmer paint is a great way to get a subtle wow factor (is that an oxymoron?!)
A reminder that there's still room in the Card Clinic for Thursday, November 19th if you would like to make your Christmas Cards! Check out the sample album here, then email me to let me know which one you'd like to recreate! Cost is $25 for 10 cards – includes all cardstock – precut for you, and all supplies required to make the cards themselves; plus envelopes! Need more than 10 cards? Each additional card is $2.50.
Other card making options include the Holiday Stamp a Stack in Mississauga, Saturday Nov 21, or hosting your own card making party with your friends! Contact me if you'd like more information.
This idea was shared with us on the Stampin' Up! Demonstrator website. It uses the Christmas Jingle Simply Scrappin' kit, and the box is the Box #2 Bigz Die for the Big Shot! This is the same box die that we are using for our Christmas tags at the Holiday Stamp a stacks (You can see that here). Here, Diana has used two of the boxes back to back, and adhered the lids together, then punched out a handle with the large oval punch – how clever!!
To make your own paper filler (the red crinkly stuff) – use your paper crimper on red cardstock, then run it through a strip cut paper shredder. (If you use a cross cut paper shredder I guess you'd get confetti instead?!)
This card was created by a demonstrator in my group, Andrea. It's always nice to get ideas from other people – I would never have thought of this colour combination! It's Taken with Teal, Ruby Red and Whisper White. The wheel (the pattern on the left of the card) is from the Holiday Mini – Sassy Sparkles. The Greeting and the design in the scallop circle are from the set Snow Swirled.
I'm finalizing the details on the next of the 12 Weeks of Christmas ideas for my email newsletter subscribers. If you're on my mailing list, look for it this Wednesday in your email inbox. If you're not on my list – please sign up! (Top left corner of the yamstamps.com site!).
