My Christmas card class

Yesterday I hosted a Christmas card frenzy with two ladies that I have classes for.  We got busy and created 10 cards in total.  I made some star boxes as decorations for the table and lots of other things but forgot to take photos.

Here are the star boxes.

We made these five gift note cards.

These are the five cards using Stampin' Up! paper stack 'Trim the Tree'

Love this Nutcracker!

Created snow hills with oval punch.

Santa Stache-ing!

The stars here are created with Stampin' Up! Stars Thinlits.

I love stars!

This is my take on the card in the Stampin' Up! Holiday catalogue on page 25.

This gift note card was created with some left over scraps.

Hope these get you motivated to start creating your Christmas Cards.

All is Calm

I have a class project of mine to share with you with the new Designer Series Paper 'All is Calm' from the Stampin' Up! holiday catalogue.  The patterned paper is designed with Christmas in mind but I love the colours so I created some regular projects - a card, a matchbox gift box and an exploding box.  I hope my ladies enjoy making these.

Exploding Box

Matchbox Gift Box

Best Kid Ever

Today I am sharing with you my card club swap cards for the month of September with the theme being 'kids cards'.  So I couldn't pass up the opportunity to use a new stamp set from Stampin' Up! called 'Boys will be Boys'.  I really love this set and its not very often I used green as a colour for my cards but love the effect with the army man and his parachute.

August Copic Challenge

Hi everyone! Yes it's me and yes I have been missing in action for a couple of weeks trying to get back into the swing of things of school and work after the school holidays.

Today I am sharing with you my card for the August Copic Challenge at Scrapbook Fantasies.  The theme for August is 'HAIR', yes all about the hair.  So I would like you all to join in and colour up an image but using a completely different hair combination or technique.  For my card using a gorjuss girls stamp, I have coloured the hair in aqua colours.

Here is my card:

Purple Owl

Here's a card I'm sharing that I have made for my Mum to give to her sister.  My Aunty loves the colour purple and owls therefore I choose a Sweet Pea Stamp called Owl Territory.  Still trying to develop my skin and hair skills as one is never satisfied with there own work.

It's time again for another copic challenge over at Scrapbook Fantasy.  For the month of July the theme is "Christmas in July".  Therefore I choose a La La Land stamp that I have had for quite sometime but have never managed to colour her up.  The image is Christmas Elf Marci and I have used a Kaiser craft 6x6 paper pad "Gingerbread".  Hope you get inspired and join in the challenge!
