Hi there,

Here's a card we did at my Stamp a Stack last week...Used Snow Flurries with White Craft pad...A strip of Holiday Thyme paper with the wide organdy white ribbon over top. One of my very first stamp sets - Tag Time was used....the little snowman. Not sure if you can tell but I put Dazzling Diamonds on the base of the snowman. The gals used blender pens and ink to colour the snowman in....All this on Night of Navy cardstock.

That's about it,
Kerry

Hey there,

Here is a card that we did at my stamp a stack class this past monday. I totally got the idea from Billiekins at SCS...the only change is that I used my 2 way glue pen and sprinkled dazzling diamonds on the large tree. Everything looks better with a little sparkle right???

I really have enjoyed having a Coluzzle cutting system. I can't believe its taken me 4 years to purchase one! I can make circles and ovals now so easy.

2 of my good friends from our kids school gave me 2 cards that they made together. I uploaded them under 'Art from You' on the left hand side. They used the rock n roll technique, cracked glass technique and Joy Fold card! Glad that Lori, from my club is using what she learns! Way to go, keep sharing!

Good Day!

Thought I'd share some artwork that I made a month or so ago...I got the inspiration from my friend, and fellow SU demo - Sarah Froese. I bought these wooden frames at Michaels and decorated them with our Decorative Paper - the line I used is Recollections by Stampin' Up! I attached some brown grosgrain, burgundy grosgrain and some stitched cranberry too. Lastly stamped and mounted some Hodgepodge Hardware..snipped the end of the brads off before adhering and used glue dots to adhere the hardware....

These make a wonderful gift for the holidays, and i'm planning on making a few more to give away to Grandparents!!
The pic is hard to make out but its of my oldest and youngest in Disneyland this past April, 2006.

Have a great night,
Kerry

Stamp a Stack

Here is one of the cards we made at my Christmas Stamp A Stack class tonight.

The tree is from Loads of Love and coloured with the 'Poppin' Pastels' technique. You stamp in versamark ink and then with a cotton ball or dauber you rub the Stampin' Up Pastels over it lightly...(chalk). We used the Twinkle wheel with Mellow Moss ink cartridge. Colours of c/s are whisper white, real red, chocolate chip and then finally all matted on Mellow Moss. Finished off with the 'Merry Christmas' from Loads of Love as well.

Will upload the other cards in the next few days as well so stay tuned :)

Stay dry fellow British Columbians, its nasty out there!

Club Night last night

Hello,

Last night was our last club night for some of my customers...I can't believe how quickly the last 10 months have gone! We made the tree fold card from the previous post and this card using Heat and Stick Powder! It was a fun night as usual and I'm sad to see this club ending...Thankfully most of them are able to return to a new club starting in January! Just in time for Sellabration!!!
I've made a slide show on the left of the screen of some artwork that some of my club members brought last night! Aren't they a talented bunch of gals???

Here is a Tree Fold card that I made last night. The shimmery gold cardstock looks really pretty and adds a festive look to the Christmas card.
Here are the directions:
These are the directions:

There are 4 squares of designer paper (and a little piece for the
trunk). The sizes of the squares are 1 1/2, 2, 2 1/2 and 3 inches.
Using your bone folder (sharp creases work best) fold the square in
half into a rectangle both ways so you have what looks like 4 squares.
Then fold into a triangle both ways -- so it's folded in half both
ways! (So it is folded in half every way it can be folded.) Then fold
back into a rectangle -- holding the paper with the fold on the top,
push in the sides to make a triangle. Take the two corners from the
top triangle and fold them to the center fold until they meet at the
crease line.....
Then layer them on cardstock to form the tree!

Happy folding,

Enjoy

My kids last night
