Merry Patterns - Only One Day Left!

I hope your weekend was wonderful.  For me, it was a bit of a lazy weekend.  And when I say lazy, that means I cleaned, did laundry, and best of all, got my stamp studio back in order.  When I was preparing for a workshop last week, nothing got put away...papers, stamps, inks.  Oh my!!  Happy and relieved to have everything organized!

Here's another of the cards from my workshop last week.  Having been in a bit of a creative rut, inspiration from this design goes to my upline Leena.  I made a few small changes, such as the black rhinestones for a bit of bling, I used a different sentiment and punch, and lastly no layer of  DSP - I didn't have enough to use for the workshop

How stunning is the deer with the 'sweater'??!!  Stampin' Up! does it best!!

 Five words - pop it up with dimensionals!



To the inside of the card, with the cheery sentiment also from Merry Patterns.


I'm going to forgo the list of supplies and with the exception of the Merry Patterns stamp set.
To get this stamp set with a qualifying workshop, but HURRY, this set will not be available 
after Oct 31 at midnight!

Watercolour Christmas - Stampin` Up!

Wow, it`s been over a month since my last post, however, I`m back to everything card related! 😊

On Wednesday, I hosted a workshop with 10 wonderful ladies. To date, that was my biggest class.  Some experienced card makers, others brand new to stamping, and everyone had a great time making 4 Christmas cards!

When working with a large group, and limited time, it was necessary to die cut more than I would with a small group.  Oh, and to be super organized!  While one group was stamping, the other group was embossing - still some wait time, but things flowed pretty well.

This is a great card for beginners. The base is Real Red cardstock, with a layer of Whisper White, embossed using the Cable Knit Dynamic folder.


I`m a such a big fan of the Foil Snowflakes! Just enough glitz and glam without being overbearing.  The sentiment, from Watercolour Christmas, was stamped in Garden Green, then die cut with a Stitched Shapes Framelit.  Let me know if your lovin`this simple colour combo.



I used a Layering Oval Framelit to die cut the Garden Green backing for the sentiment, and glued the pieces together, and popped them up with dimensionals.



How cute is the Stitched Felt Embellishment!!!  I added a wee silver bow for a bit more bling!
Check out the Stitched Felt Embellishments in the Holiday Catalogue - there are 3 designs - the tree, a star, and holly berries with leaves (5 of each). 



We finished off the card with a sentiment from Christmas Pines.


It had been a while since my last class and I learned something on Wednesday.  I really really really enjoy hosting workshops and classes.  How better to share what I love doing!

Thank you for stopping by!  Happy Crafting!
