First Christmas Card Stamp-a-Stack

Last night was the first Christmas Card Stamp-a-Stack of the season! Thanks to the lovely 8 ladies who attended and made their first Christmas Cards of the season. Here they are in action...



...and this is a sample of one of the cards they made using the Tree Trimmings' set from the Spring Mini Catalogue. The cardstock is Kraft, Riding Hood Red, Baja Breeze and Whisper White. Inks we used we Baja Breeze, Kiwi Kiss, Chocolate Chip, Riding Hood Red and Kraft for the greeting and the bows. I have also used Kraft Taffeta ribbon, I am finding this to be a nice alternative to using gold. We used the Stamp-a-ma-jig to give us perfect placement everytime!

My next Christmas Card Stamp-a-Stack will be held on Monday 26th October, let me know if you would to join us!

'Sense of Time' Christmas Card

Here is a sample of another way to use the beautiful 'Sense of Time' stamp set in conjunction with the 'Good Cheer' set from the current Spring Mini Catalogue. The colours I have used in this card are Bravo Burgandy, Always Artichoke and Very Vanilla. The ribbon is Bravo Burgandy 5/8 inch Grosgrain Ribbon and I have used the Eyelet Border Punch to 'trim' the bottom edge of the card.

Christmas Card Stamp-a-Stack

I have set the date for the first Christmas Card Stamp-a-Stack of the season...Monday 28th September, 7.30pm. You will make 8 Christmas Cards (3 designs) for $20 including envelopes.
