Day of Gratitude

Thanks to Diane, tonight I was able to have a class! (My house is still in turmoil!)

The first picture is a very simple 3-D "box" that I gave to Diane for hosting the class at her house. (It's not really a box, just sides!)  It was made with a piece of 3" x 8 1/2" card stock scored at 2, 4, 6, and 8 inches.  I punched one of the sides with the Extra-Large Decorative Label punch.  On a piece of 2 7/8" x 1 7/8" card stock I stamped the image and the saying.  It was so easy and would be a great favor!

Thank You "Box"

The first card that we made was a Fall / Thanksgiving card.  The design was created by stamping the flower stamp four times on Very Vanilla card stock.  The center was created using the medallion stamp and punched out with the Boho Blossoms punch.  The Extra-Large Decorative Label punch was used for the saying, and the final touch was adding the pearl jewels.

A Great Gift!

Next, we made a bag, a tag, and a matching candle and boy did we punch!

The bag was created using the following punches:  1 1/4" circle, 1 3/8" circle, 1 3/4" circle, 2 1/2" circle, 1 3/4" scallop circle, 2 3/8" scallop circle, snowflake, and the scallop edge border.

The snowman from the stamp set Jolly Old Saint Nick was stamped twice on Whisper White card stock and once on tissue paper. We used Whisper White, Real Red, and Marina Mist card stock and ink. 

The tag base was created using the Two Tags Sizzix die.

The snowman in the center of the bag was covered with a Sweet Treat cup that was filled with some silver glass glitter.  Rhinestone jewels were added to give it a little bling!

A Simple Christmas Card

Finally, we finished the night making this simple but elegant Christmas card!

The Northern Flurry Textured Impressions Embossing Folder was used to create the background.  The ornament from *Tags til Christmas was stamped in Real Red and then punched with the *ornament punch.  The "Merry Christmas" saying is from the Christmas Greeting stamp set.  Adding Real Red ribbon and rhinestone jewels gave it the final touch!

My Friend's Awesome Halloween Card

This is my friend, Holly's, Halloween card.  She used a combination of punches to create Frankenstein.  She used the curly label punch for the face and the hair, the modern label punch for the arms, and the owl punch for the ears (the owl's feet) and the eyes.  Isn't it awesome?!!

Brian's Birthday

Can you guess how old Brian is from looking at the card?

Cards from a September Technique Class

The cards from this class used several techniques.  I will be adding the directions and techniques later this week. (I was so busy stamping this weekend, I didn't get enough time to work on my blog, but at least I posted the cards!)
