Starburst Merry Christmas

I cased this card from Rachel Tessman at Stamp Your Art Out. She has a fantastic tutorial on her blog that makes creating the starburst technique on this card super simple. 

This is my first time using the starburst technique but I love it and will have to use the same technique again soon.

Greetings of the Season Snowflake Card

This is another take on the card I made yesterday. 

I struggled with this one because I never liked how the snowflake looked.  This was as happy as I could get with this card. I tossed up the idea on sharing this card or not but I think it is important to share everything I create so you know we all have "off" days.

Greetings of the Season Holiday Ornament

On October 5th it was World Card Making day. I took it upon myself to create as many cards as I could on the one day. I made many multiples of the same card but in total I made 31 cards. Many of my cards had to be cased in order to me to produce them so quickly but I would like to take the time to share with you my creations. This is the first of many I will be sharing with you. 

This card was cased from Jamie Hurley. You can see her card on my Pinterest board here.

This card is simple to make. In order to do the punched out ornament first punch out the ornament and then punch out the circle. This ensures your ornament will be centered.

The Very Vanilla layer measures at 3-3/4" X 5"

Since I didn't have any other small ribbon, I used some leftover twine from the Boutique Boxes kit. If I had some of the new Silver 1/8" Ribbon (132137) from the Holiday Catalog I would have loved to use that.

Stampset: Greetings of the Season

Paper: Very Vanilla, Silver Glimmer Paper

Ink: Cherry Cobbler

Punches: Christmas Ornament, 2-1/2" Circle

Accessories: Season of Style Designer Washi Tape, Bakers twine from retired Boutique Boxes Kit

Holly Stampin' Up Undefined Carving

On my to do list is create some cards for a swap I have signed up for with my up-upline. Since no one seemed to get very many Christmas cards swaps at convention she decided to do her own swap with anyone in any of her downlines. I decided to jump on board. I was struggling to decide which stampset to use and my upline said she had seen some wreaths made with the Six Sided Sampler Stampset and coordinating punch. I thought this seemed like a fantastic idea and thought I would give it a shot. Upon reviewing some photos from convention I came across one that looked like I took it from the big screens during a presentation. I CASED this card and made very few changes. If anyone knows who made the wreath card at convention please let me know and I will make sure to give them credit!!!

I wanted more detail on the wreath instead of just 3 red dots to symbolize holly (which is what the CASED card used). I found a small piece of rubber left from my Undefined set I thought I could carve some holly. With how small the holly is it was actually fairly easy to carve and it was another thing I didn't have to trace!!! I love the look of the wreath with my carved holly and I hope everyone enjoys the card when they get the card at the end of September! I hope you are inspired!!!

I will be taking the weekend off from posting but will hopefully have lots of cards to share with you on Monday.

Happy Stamping!!!
