Merry & Type

The jury is still out on this card- I just feel something is missing.  It actually has a glittery background using the Baroque Motifs Stamp (the florish).  I used Dazzling Diamonds Glitter, but I don't think it stands out enough.  I am going to try it in red and black glitter next time.

This is another card that we will be making at the Christmas Cardmaking Day in December.  This was the first time I had used the Stampin' Up! Heat & Stick Powder.  The way you do it is, you stamp onto the cardstock with Versamark, spinkle the Heat & Stick Powder over it, tap it off, heat it with the embossong heat tool, sprinkle glitter on, tap off and then heat again.  The Heat and Stick powder is a lot better than just adding glitter.  This glitter tends to stay ON the page, rather than flake off.

Stay tuned for different versions of this.

Christmas Card Making Day- Sunday, 30th October 2011

Christmas is only 58 sleeps away!  It always comes around quickly.  This is why I am holding one in October, so we can be nice and organised!  We will be making 2 each of the below cards, as well as making a gift card holder.

We will be using two of my favourite sets:  Contempo Christmas and Delightful decorations.  We don't even need to cut out the baubles as Stampin'Up! have a matching punch for that!  Having matching punches for a lot of our stamps makes it nice and easy to create.  They also give a nice even, clean line that you don't often get with cutting!

I have 2 spots left for the class, so please come along on Sunday.  If you can't make it this Sunday, I will be holding another one called "A very Glittery Christmas" where we will be making 8 cards with a 'glitter' theme.  We'll also make some giftcard holders, as you can never have too many of them!  The date will be Sunday, 27th November at 1pm.
