Two for my Class

I've had a few people ask me what cards I will be doing at my Holiday Stamp-a-Stack this year. I'm still working out some details, but here are two that my girls will be doing. I like to keep the stamping fairly simple, but I do like to pretty them up with embellishments. This year we will be making 12 cards (4 each of 3 designs) and each each card has to have a different set and color combo (I don't usually have duplicates on my ink pads or stamp sets). This first card is CASED from my super talented, dear friend , Kristen Moore. This is the card I cased of hers. As you can see I changed up the colors (a little) and used a different stamp set, but it is basically the same idea. I just love the little tag idea. Thanks for the inspiration, girl! Check out a close up of the tag. I love that this set, A Cardinal Christmas has two sentiments included in it. I've told you before, this is the set that I will be using on my own personal cards this year. I need to get started on those. I love this next card, partly because I finally have a snowflake set. Yep, up until now I did not own a set of snowflakes. There have been plenty of cute ones I've wanted, but I just never bought them. This card uses the set that was in last years Holiday mini catalog and thankfully it made it to the big catty this fall. It is called Snow Burst. The inspiration for this card came from the scrapbook page on pg. 34 of the catty. I love that sample and wanted to make it work on a card. I think it comes pretty close. I love to point this out so you can see how I often transform ideas from scrapbook pages into cards (I also do the reverse of this process a lot, too-create scrapbook pages from cards I see). I'm super excited to finally have those adorable felt snowflakes in my hot little hands. I couldn't resist using one on this card. I think my girls will love them! That's all for today. I hope to have my third card designed later today. I'll share that maybe on Monday. Have a great weekend and Happy November!!!! Hugs,

  4. Wow Lisa, I'm so flattered that you liked mine enough to consider using/tweaking for your own SAS! How funny... that was the card (of mine) that I was most worried about- that maybe my guests wouldn't be crazy about it- and they really like it. In fact, I think it might have been their favorite!

    I love the snowflake one you are doing too! Great colors, layout and embellishments! They'll love it!
