A Quickie Christmas Card
So, I finally decided to start doing challenges on Split Coast Stampers and so I just did my first one, which was for SU demonstrators to come up with quicky holiday cards. I still think I could have gone a bit more simple but at least the technique is very easy. I think all told, this took about 5-10 minutes to put together including measuring and cutting the paper.
Recipe:
Stamps: Christmas Classics, Deer Friends (hostess)
Ink: Old Olive, Encore Gold, Ridinghood Red
Paper: Whisper White CS, Ridinghood Red CS, Ski Slope DSP
Accessories: 1 1/4″ circle punch, 1 3/8″ circle punch

Holiday Stamp-a-Stack Sneak Peak – Part 2
I told you I had more sketches than necessarily for the Holiday Stamp-a-Stack this Saturday but I decided to make them up anyway. Unfortunately I spent way to much time last night trying to figure out how to make one of my sketches work (it never did end up working) so I only got through four more cards. However, I think I’ve made up some cool designs so between yesterday’s cards and today’s cards I think I will have my 5 cards picked out.
Here is what I made last night:

Some notes about the cards. The snowman card has the front punch through to the inside where the snowman stamp is glued down. And the trees in the Seasons Greetings card are glittery (I thought it made a fun winter wonderland motif 🙂 )
Just a reminder, please RSVP if you want to come to the workshop or contact me to let me know if you want a card kit. The current plan for the 5 card designs are the 3 from yesterday, happy holidays above and seasons greetings above. Leave me a comment if you want to vote for a different set of designs!

Sneak Peek at the Holiday Stamp-a-Stack
So, Saturday is the holiday stamp-a-stack and I have been working on creating samples for some of my sketches. Last night, I was planning on getting them all done, but then I remembered I needed to finish glueing together the cardfronts for a card swap I’m in, so while I got all 11 of those cards done, I only got 3.5 cards done for the workshop on Saturday.
There is still room in the group on Saturday, let me know if you would like to join us. I will also make card kits available if you cannot attend in person but want the supplies to make them on your own. Cost for the kits is the same as the class – you get all envelopes, precut supplies, and instructions for creating all the cards plus free shipping!
I’m still finalizing the set of cards we will be making but here are 3 very likely candidates.

Check the calendar for more upcoming stamping events!

Christmas cards from a stamp-a-stack class
This weekend I went to Bellingham, WA to visit my mom and attend her Christmas card stamp-a-stack. We made 3 cards each of four different designs using some of the new holiday stamps from Stampin’ Up! It ended up being a mother/daughter event with two other mother/daughter pairs plus a couple more ladies joining us. It was a lot of fun and neat to not only come away with 12 cards but also to get some new ideas on how to use some of the stamp sets. I have to admit, I wasn’t too excited by the Snow Swirled stamp set but after this afternoon and some other samples I’ve seen…I’m now thinking about getting it. 🙂 Check out the cards we made.
