Nov 2, 2008 | Big Shot, rubber stamping
This was my most recent 12 weeks of Christmas sample – but I couldn't resist sharing it here.
Many people choose the holidays as a time to send out family photos – here's a way to combine a photo with a handmade card (they're not mutually exclusive!). I used the Big Shot Top Note Bigz die to cut the Ski Slope Designer Series Paper. I saved the middle portion to use on other projects (alternatively, you could use it on the inside portion of the card!). I used the leftover piece as a frame, and highlighted it with the words Peace and Joy from the Join the Cheer Big Shot Die. My paper snips came in handy to separate out the words I wanted. (the words on the die are Peace, Joy, Love, Cheer).
This design is not exclusively for the holidays – it could be used to send a photo greeting at any time of year! Change out the designer series paper, or use cardstock and stamps, snip out different words from the strip – imagine the possibilities!
There's still time to be included in the Twelve Weeks of Christmas – sign up for my email newsletter to see what week six holds!

This is another version of the Season of Simple Grace card that I created for Marianne's workshop the other evening. If you're interested in having this as your holiday card, I am offering it as another option for the Christmas Card clinic. Today is the last day to register, so if you're looking for a way to get a whack of Christmas Cards made, please contact me! Cost is $25 for 10 cards, $2.50 for each additional. Check out the Card Clinic photo album for the other options.

My email newsletter subscribers had the heads up on this one… The next themed class on my schedule is the Snow Flurries Portfolio Class! A great chance to work with some fun accessories and create a wonderful portfolio of cards. I think this is a fantastic package to keep or give as a gift! We'll use the little felt flurries, build a brads and ski slope designer series paper to create these cards and holder.
Class date is Monday, November 17 – 7pm in Burlington. Registration and payment due date is Monday, November 3rd. Cost is $39.99 and includes all supplies required to make the portfolio shown, plus envelopes. You'll get a full package of the Season of Cheer rub ons, which we'll use to create this ensemble, but there will be plenty of rub ons left for you to take home & use on other projects! Contact me if you have any questions (or if you need directions!), or to reserve your spot. You can also click below to register using your credit card through Paypal.
Class to go option – includes all supplies to make the portfolio EXCEPT the stamps/ink/adhesive. $39.99 plus postage if applicable (postage will be billed separately), Canadian customers / non-Stampin' Up! Demonstrators only. Contact me or click here:
