Is it just me or are you also thinking that Christmas seems to arrive much sooner each year!? With the holiday quickly approaching, it’s time to start making Christmas cards to send to family and friends. One of my favorite holiday stamp sets from the 2017 Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog is Carols of Christmas. It’s nice to have stamps with bold sentiments. The design is CASED from Stampin’ Up! with a change of colors to red versus the black colors in their design. To create snow on the branches of the trees, use the fine-tip glue pen to outline edges and sprinkle the glue while still wet with Dazzling Diamonds Stampin’ Glitter. Don’t forget to jazz up your envelope…the stars stamp used is from the Star of Light stamp set.

At this time last year, I shared a birthday card for a friend’s mother, Ms. Lorraine, who was celebrating her 97th birthday. This year we celebrated her 98th birthday so naturally a special card was in order. For the card, I combined the flower from the Birthday Blooms stamp set and the sentiment from the Number of Years stamp set. The Large Numbers Framelits Dies were used to cut the celebratory number. Powder Pink cardstock was used for the base and for cutting the number. The flower was stamped using Archival Black Ink onto Whisper White cardstock. Stampin’ Write Markers in Blushing Bride, Old Olive and So Saffron were used to color the flower. Notice that the large flower was only outlined with the pink. The olive green layer is found in the Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper (DSP) package. The 1/2″ Finely Woven Ribbon in Powder Pink was used to complete the card.

In the last card class, I decided to introduce the technique of making a spinner card and the Seasonal Chums Bundle made the process easy. Since Halloween is approaching, the jack-o-lantern from the set was selected for the card design. Stampin’ Write Markers were used to color the leaves and jack-o-lantern features but the Watercolor Pencils would work too. Notice that the inside of the card is backed with a piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the Spooky Night DSP package and a small strip of Very Vanilla is stamped with the Happy Halloween greeting from the Spooky Cat stamp set is peeking through the opening.

While it may seem intimidating the spinner card is not extremely difficult so be sure to give the technique a try!

For the card class this past Monday, I thought it appropriate to include a Pink Ribbon card using the Ribbon of Courage stamp set bundle in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Powder Pink cardstock and ink, as well as, the same color in the Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper Stack were used for creating the card. The sentiment was stamped in Smoky Slate on the Whisper White cardstock oval. It is a simple card to make but conveys a wonderful message.

Enjoy your weekend and look for my next post on Monday.
I must admit that I am not a cat person but when I saw the cat punch in the Stampin’ Up! Holiday catalog, I knew it had to go onto my must have list. Since several friends have cats, the punch will get lots of use. What is great is that the punch coordinates not only with the Spooky Cat stamp set but also the Spooky Night Designer Series Paper (DSP). For the treat bag below, I used the cat punch to cut the black cat from the DSP. The witches hat was fussy cut for the DSP also. The cutting instructions for the treat bag are from Angie Juda.
