Homemade Christmas Fudge & stamp club projects!

Hi! Here is a project that we created at my Friday Night Stamp Club this past Friday! Such a fun project! I haven't created Christmas Fudge in such a long time!!! It's a giant candy bar!!!

Note: The DSP is retired Dashing DSP.



Ok, following are the 3 stamp club projects for November! You can see the cards in previous posts. My stamp club ladies are such fun!! We had a great time Friday night. My husband made some awesome chili, and my hostess, Kelly, brought the best decorated cookies!! It was a great evening! Thanks to all of my stamp club friends. I really do cherish your friendship!


Thanks for stopping by!! See you soon!

Stack of Presents!

Hi! I have a couple of cards to share with you! I was inspired when I saw Allison's card shown HERE. I just changed the colors. We stamped this card at my stamp club on Friday evening, and we will also be stamping this card at my Tuesday morning Day-Time Stampin' Class. I think it's really cute!! Thanks Allison!

The only difference in these 2 cards is that the first one has a So Saffron base and the second one has a Crumb Cake base. I like them both! The DSP is Sunny Garden and it has Daffodil Delight in this pack. But I thought it would be too bright for my card base, so I used So Saffron to tone it down.

Supplies:

Stamps: All Holidays

Ink: Poppy Parade

Paper: So Saffron (or Crumb Cake on the 2nd one), Poppy Parade, Peach Parfait, Sunny Garden DSP

Accessories: White Grosgrain Ribbon, Mini Glue Dots, Dimensionals

I'm definitely going to create this card with a Christmas theme too!!

Hope you are having a great weekend!

Pretty!

Hi! Happy Friday to you!!! I have another Christmas card to share with you today. I used the Gifts of Christmas stamp set. It is really a pretty set!! And you can't see it well in the picture, but the Whisper White Cardstock with the Petals a Plenty embossed image really shimmers!! I sprayed it with a mixture of Frost White Shimmer Paint and alcohol. Just remember to use a good "misting" bottle and give it a good shake before misting your cardstock for best results!

When stamping my main image, I carefully inked the dove and flowers with a gold ink pad, then used my Real Red Marker to ink up the sentiment. This would make a great card to reproduce easily!!


Supplies:
Stamps: Gifts of Christmas
Ink: Gold pad, Real Red Marker Paper: Real Red, Whisper White
Accessories: Petals a Plenty Embossing Folder, Big Shot, Frost White Shimmer Paint, Dimensionals

Enjoy your Friday and have a great weekend!!

Christmas wreath

Hi! I saw a card in a sales brochure from a local Scrapbooking company, and I knew I wanted to try to recreate it Stampin' Up! style! Well, I kind of like it!! The most challenging part of this card was to find a sentiment in my collection that fit inside a 1-3/8" circle!! I had to look through my retired stamps and I found the perfect greeting from the Best Yet stamp set.

Supplies:
Stamps: Best Yet (retired)
Ink: Real Red
Paper: Garden Green, Real Red, Whisper White
Accessories: Square Lattice Emboss Folder, Big Shot, 2-1/2" & 1-3/8" Circle Punches, Real Red Grosgrain Ribbon, Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots

Ok, would love to hear your opinion on this card!! Do you like it?

Karen

Season's Greetings!

Hi! How about a pretty Christmas card??? You should see this card in person!! It really shimmers! I "shimmered" the top Whisper White cardstock with a mixture of Frost White Shimmer Paint and Alcohol. Make sure you use a good misting bottle for best results, and shake it up well. I also used some Crystal Effects and Dazzling Diamonds Glitter on the berries.

Supplies:
Stamps: Peaceful Season (Level 2 Hostess)
Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green & Cherry Cobbler Markers
Paper: Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White
Accessories: Frost White Shimmer Paint, Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding, Crystal Effects, Dazzling Diamonds, Dimensionals

Have you started on your Christmas cards???? Now is a great time! Please let me know if I can be of assistance.
