It's Christmas, Day 3

Look who's peeking through the trees on this Christmas card...

I've been sharing cards from my Christmas Card Class, and today is Day 3.  Another CASED card (I LOVE Stampin' Connection, a demonstrator-only site to share creations).  The colors, plaid paper and little details made this one of my favorite cards of the day.

This starts with a Thick Whisper White base.  There is a layer of Basic Black with the plaid from Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper, and wrapped with some gorgeous 3/8" Basic Black Shimmer Ribbon, and then adhered to the card base.  There are three more layers, smaller, cut with the Layering Squares framelits:  Basic Black, Old Olive and a piece from the Merry Music Specialty DSP.  Easy so far, right?

The trees and the deer were cut from Basic Black cardstock using the Card Front Builder Thinlits Dies, and the trees were cut again with Old Olive paper.

The finishing touch?  A sentiment (from a retired Good Greetings) stamped in Tuxedo Black ink on a thin strip of Whisper White, and anchored with a Brights Enamel Shape in Old Olive.

So what do you think?  Is this your favorite too?  I still have a few more to share, but I'd love to know which is best, in your mind!

Here's a Christmas card we made at my Christmas card class this month:

This was the easiest card of the bunch.  And like the card I shared yesterday, it uses Christmas Quilt and the Quilt Builder Framelits Dies.

The simple tree was two-step stamped; the first stamp was in Garden Green, and then we stamped over it with Lemon Lime Twist.  Because the stamps are photopolymer, it was easy to line up the little triangles.  Once stamped, our tree was cut using the triangle shape in the framelits set.  Easy peasy!

We stamped the sentiment using Real Red ink; then we placed (without adhering) the triangle tree on the card to figure out where to stamp the tree base (in Early Espresso ink).  The triangle tree was adhered and topped with a Real Red star (also cut with the framelits).

The card base is Real Red; there is a layer of Garden Green, and the front is Whisper White.  Cute, quick and easy.

Tis the Season

Yes, it's time for Christmas cards!  I recently held a Christmas card class, and this week I'll showcase the cards we made.

Let's start with this:

This beautiful card was CASED from Dawn Griffith.  There are a few changes from her original, and it's a lovely version of hers.

The card features the wonderful Christmas Quilt set and coordinating Quilt Builder Framelits Dies.  Although it looks complicated, it was quite easy to put together.

We started by stamping the Cherry Cobbler and Garden Green quilt pieces; we stamped the outline in Tuxedo Black ink, then filled in the parallelogram dots and stripes.  Once done, we cut the quilt square from Gold Foil sheets and laid it over our stamped piece.  It was adhered to the Gold Foil Scalloped Circle and then we just had to put our card together.

The card base is Cherry Cobbler.  There are two layers:  Gold Foil and Very Vanilla; under our scalloped circle is a piece of Quilted Christmas 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper in Garden Green.

Our sentiment, from Oh What Fun, was stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink, and all we needed to finish off this card was a pretty Gold Ribbon bow.

C'mon back this week to see the other cards we made; it was a fun class and everyone went home with six Christmas cards.
