Holiday Stamp-a-Stack Class - Sunday, September 15

Here are the projects we made last Sunday at our first Holiday Stamp-a-Stack of the season!

Watch for details on our next Holiday Stamp-a-Stack class on Sunday, October 20 from 1-5pm!!  We'll be featuring the new Season of Style Designer Series Paper in that class!

Everyone loved the new Winter Frost Specialty Designer Series Paper that we used on Sunday! 

We covered a Full Wood-Mount Case with the Winter Frost Specialty DSP.  Then, we cut one of the fabulous new gift bows with the Gift Bow Bigz L Die and added a tag using the Chalk Talk Stamp set and framelits.  The finishing touch is the new Frosted Finishes Embellishment - it's a beautiful rhinestone-adorned embellishment!!  This case is the perfect size to hold our cards!!

Here is the first card we made.....


We start with a Pool Party card base, then add those flags of Winter Frost Specialty DSP and the "merry christmas" from the Embellished Events set.  Next, we stamped a snowflake in Island Indigo with the new Festive Flurry stamp set and layered it on an Island Indigo 2 3/8" Scallop Circle punch.  We finish this off with little dots around the scallops with the new White Stampin' Chalk Marker - it is fabulous!!

For this card, we start with a Bermuda Bay card base and add a layer of Whisper White embossed with the new Stylish Stripes Embossing Folder.  Next, we cut a Smoky Slate piece with the Deco Labels Collection framelits.  Then, we stamped the ornament (from the still-available-from-last-year's- Holiday Catalog "Ornament Keepsakes" Stamp set) in Bermuda Bay and punched it out with the 2 1/2" circle punch.  We added a smaller ornament in Smoky Slate (punched with the 1" circle punch) and then stamped "a very merry Christmas to you....." from the also still-available-from-last-year's- Holiday Catalog "More Merry Messages" Stamp set.

We start with a Smoky Slate card base, then added a Whisper White layer on top that was embossed with the Pretty Print Embossing Folder.  The bottom of the card features some more of the fabulous Winter Frost Specialty Designer Series Paper and a Whisper White Organza ribbon ties the two pieces together.  We stamped the tree image (from the still-available-from-last-year's- Holiday Catalog "Evergreen" Stamp set) in Smoky Slate and the words over the tree image in Basic Gray.  We cut the tree piece out (and the Smoky Slate piece behind it) with the Oval Framelits and sponged Smoky Slate ink around the White Oval.  Finally, we added a 1/8" Silver Ribbon bow to the top of the tree.

We start with a Basic Black card base, then add a Whisper White layer with lots of fun!!  We stamped both of the ink splotches from the Gorgeous Grunge set in Pumpkin Pie and the grid/tire mark in Black Stazon ink.  Next we added a few strips of the Witches Brew washi tape and stamped "happy halloween" from the Teeny Tiny Wishes set.  Finally, we stamped "Trick or Treat" from the Tags 4 You set and punched it out with the coordinating Label Bracket Punch.  This stamp set and punch are bundled together in the Holiday Catalog for a 15% savings on both!  What a fun, unique card!!

This card starts with a Smoky Slate card base, then we added stripes to the front of the card itself with the Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  Next, we cut a Crisp Cantalope circle using the new Circles Framelits and then added the polka dot strip of the Et Cetera Designer Series Paper.  Then, we stamped the bike (from the Cycle Celebrations Set) in Pear Pizzaz and the "Wheely Sweet Friend" in Calypso Coral and tied it with some Calypso Coral Baker's twine.  For the finishing touch, we added a couple of tiny scallop circles from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack to the wheels and completed the look with a couple of Mini Brads!  I love this card!!

I love this color combination - Crushed Curry, Smoky Slate and Coastal Cabana - it's probably not one I would have thought of, but I absolutely love it!!  We stamped the dahlia from the Regarding Dahlias Stamp set in Smoky Slate ink and then the "hi" in Coastal Cabana ink, punched that out with the 1 1/4" circle punch and popped it up on a dimensional.  We also added a strip of the Coastal Cabana DSP from the 2013-15 In Color Designer Series Paper Stack and then finished the card off with a Crushed Curry Chevron bow - just beautiful!!

I just think this new Halloween Happiness stamp is too cute!!  For this card, we start with a Whisper White card base, then add another layer of Whisper White embossed with the Chevron Textured Impression Embossing folder.  We also added a strip of the Brights Designer Series Paper stack in Pumpkin Pie and flanked that on either side with strips of Basic Black to make it pop.  Next, we stamped the Halloween Happiness stamp (using Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive and Basic Black markers) on the smaller Whisper White layer, popped that up on dimensionals and then rounded the corners of both pieces with the Corner Rounder punch.  Finally, we added a strip of the Basic Black Chevron Ribbon and tied a simple 1/8" Taffeta Pumpkin Pie ribbon around that!!  I sure would love to receive this cute Halloween card, how about you??
