Getting Ready

This Sunday the ladies will be coming for our annual Christmas Card Swap and to enjoy lots of food, hot apple cider and great company. So... thought I'd better start my Holiday decorating.....

My Snowmen have come to live in the kitchen once more...

OOPS..Just noticed I will have to change date stamp on this camera :)

Stamp-a-Stack 2013

OK I know it's getting late to be doing a Christmas Stamp-a-Stack but I was asked and have 6 ladies sign up so December 3rd it is!

This is a file folder card/gift card holder made with the new Envelope Punch Board.

 

Lots of embossing and turning the single Christmas Star stamp into a 3D embellishment.

 

Non-Traditional colours used in the next card I found on Pinterest....

 

 

 

Finally, a tealight card...put a battery-operated tealight behind the embossed image on vellum cardstock.

Christmas Collage

Last week 6 of the ladies got together for the Collage Class... it was a great HIT as many ordered what they needed to make more!
That gives me great joy.... that they liked it not the ordering :)

I made a second one with different colours too...

Lots of Bling on this one that the camera didn't show....or maybe I should blame the photographer?
