Season of Joy Christmas Card

Hi all,

Well, this must be a first, making Christmas cards in September. Fancied getting out the Christmas stamp sets recently and making a start whilst I have the time. Have started to make cards in bulk as before you know it, Christmas will be upon us.

Below I decided to use the much hoarded Jolly Holiday DSP that I have. I love this paper and was sad to see it all sold out on the Last Chance List. Here's the card I have made:

Season Of Joy


Stamps: Season Of Joy and Occasional Quotes (inside).
Cardstock: Cherry Cobbler and Very Vanilla. Designer Series Paper - Jolly Holiday.
Inkpad:
Cherry Cobbler.
Accessories: 3/8" Tatfeta Ribbon - Very Vanilla, Stamp-A-Ma-Jig, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Dimensionals, Paper Snips and SU Bone Folder.
Card Size:
A6.

Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy your week.

Hi all,

The ladies enjoyed the Christmas themed class today making a Never Ending Christmas Card and matching Pillow Box Pouch.

Here are the photos of what the Never Ending Card reveals as you keep fliping the card over:

Flip 3 - pulling apart horizontally


Stamps: Contempo Christmas, Delightful Decorations, Season of Joy and Occasional Greetings.
Cardstock: Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla. Designer Series Paper - Jolly Holiday.
Inkpad:
Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive. Versamark Stamp Pad.
Accessories: Rhinestones, Ornament Punch, 3/4" Circle Punch, Gold Cord, Stamp-A-Ma-Jig, Sticky Strip, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Dimensionals and SU Bone Folder.
Card Size:
6" x 6".
Reminds me of those things you used to make and play with friends in the playground. lol.

Anyway, as this was a time consuming project, the ladies finished off the class with a simple but effective Pillow Box Pouch using the Big Shot and Pillow Box Die from Stampin' Up! :) I'm sure they'll think of something nice to put in there for Christmas.

Projects Together


Okay, hope you enjoyed this post and have a good weekend.

Bye for now,
