Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Wishing all of you an yours a very Merry Christmas and a fantastic Happy New Year.

Not only have I been busy getting ready for the holidays but I have been working on my January class, the theme is Valentine's Day. I know it's only Christmas time but look how fast Christmas got here. I even challenged myself. I decided to do the four cards for the class all from the same stamp set and I did it. I love the cards and I hope you will too. I will post them after Christmas I want everyone to enjoy the holidays and not think about Valentine's Day.

Merry Merry

Christmas Swap

I was in a swap this weekend and we had to do an item that was not a card so I got to thinking about something a little different. Last spring I got a gift from someone and it was a hand towel and it had some Big Shot items on it. I loved it so much so I decided to do it up differently and with a Christmas theme. Thanks Beth for the great idea. I hope you like them. I trimmed the bottom with red ribbon. Used green felt and the Top Note Die and in red felt I took the Joy and Peace from the Cheers Sizzlet.

It's a Man Thing

My last class of the year was held on November 14. It was called "It's a Man Thing". The cards were all for the men in our lives. They could be used for Birthday or Father's Day. The shirt is my own original design I sat and cut out paper pieces until I was satisfied. The card is perfect. I hope you think so too. The other cards were easier to come up with and the one with the Oak Tree I had gotten in a swap and I cased it. My next class will be in January and it will be Valentine's Day.

Last Christmas Cards of the Season

These are the last two Christmas Cards I will be making this year. I received something like these from a friend and I just changed it to a Christmas Theme. It's the same card in different colors.

A Mistake that Worked Out

I was making tags with the new Ornament Punch in the Holiday Mini and I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing, I didn't punch it right and I punched only part of it. When I saw what it looked like I got an idea. I didn't put the cardstock all the way down and as a result I got a vase instead of an ornament. Just love it hope you do too.

My Thanksgiving Card

I used Elegant Eggplant, Old Olive and Very Vanilla on my Thanksgiving card. I really like the simplicity of it.

Been Busy

Here are some of the Christmas Cards I have been making the last few weeks and some are from my Christmas In July Class. The last card is hard to see but I used the new Shimmer paint on Night of Navy cardstock I am sorry you can't see it but it is really a nice looking card.

New Catalog

I am so excited about the new Stampin' Up catalog. I seen it and I love it. It will be in my home and online on July 1st. Great new stamp sets and the In Colors this year are really fantastic. They mix and match with each other so great.
My class on Saturday June 27 will be using the new colors and new stamps sets. Can't wait to hear what they have to say.

Faux Silk Technique

This card is one I did for a swap. The technique is Faux Silk and so easy to do. I am do a Faux Technique Class on May 23 we will be doing a similar card with this technique.

Cracked Glass

I recently did a Technique Class and one of my favorites is Cracked Glass. This is the card that was done at the class.

Artisan of the Year

Every year Stampin' Up has a contest for the Artisan of the Year. This is one of the cards I made for the contest. It really came out fantastic.

Texture Plate Card

I love the Big Shot Texture Plates. This is one of the cards I did using the big polka dots and the small ones. So easy to do and so much fun.
