December Technique - Water Coloring with Markers!

It's time to check those calendars and think about the December Technique.  I found a great technique that really makes Water Coloring look more professional.  Usually when I watercolor, I see lines in my coloring that makes the image look unprofessional.  My upline and friend, Kelly, shared with me the technique that she uses that makes here images not only look great, but no lines!!

November Kit Class Cards

What a great group of ladies we had at the November Kit Class making 15 Christmas cards!!  We had a great time and everyone loved the cards.  So without further ado, here they are!!

Card #1 - Christmas Bells
Stamp Set:  Seasonal Bells
Ink:  Cherry Cobbler, Always Artichoke, Black
Paper:  Cherry Cobbler Base, Whisper White Layer
Accessories:  Dimensions, Bell Punch, Banner Framelit, Cable Knit Embossing Folder, Gllue Dots, Cherry Cobbler Taffeta Ribbon, White Glue

I love the Cable Knit Embossing Folder that is new in the SU Holiday Catalog, it has a 3-D effect and is just perfect for this card!

Card #2 - Peace on Earth
Stamp Sets:  Lovely as a Tree, Holly Jolly
Ink:  Soft Sky, Black
Paper:  Soft Sky Base, Whisper White Layer
Accessories:  Stitched Framelits, White Organza Ribbon, Wink of Stella (Dyed Soft Sky), Dimensions

This card just spoke elegance to me, something as simple of a winter scene of trees, teamed up with a single word "Peace"; what a lovely Christmas Card. I added a little bit of glimmer to the trees by using Wink of Stella that I had added about 10 drops of Soft Sky Reinker to tint it.


Card #3 - Warm Heart Christmas Greetings
Stamp Set:  Cookie Cutter Christmas
Ink:  Black
Markers:  Real Red, Emerald Envy, Delightful Dijon, Pirouette Pink
Paper:  Emerald Envy Base, Delightful Dijon Layer, Presents & Pine Cones Designer Series Paper, Whisper White
Accessories:  Label Framelits, Emerald Envy Ribbon, Dimensions

How cute is this card, I LOVE this stamp set and have used it alot this past month.  It's great!!

Card #4 - Oh Christmas Tree
Stamp Set:  Peaceful Pines
Ink:  Black, Emerald Envy
Paper:  Crumb Cake Base, Emerald Envy Layer, Fabulous Foil Designer Acetate, Presents & Pine Cones Designer Series Paper
Accessories:  Tags & Label Framelits, Perfect Pines Framelits, Dimensions, Silver Glitter Ribbon, Pine Bough Embossing Folder

Using a popular stamp set from the Annual Stampin' Up! Catalog this lovely card was created!  This set was very popular last year and I had almost forgotten about it.  One thing to note that the Designer Acetate sheets have a protective clear film on them, you will want to remove before assembling your card.

Card #5 - Christmas Medallion
Stamp Set:  Frosted Medallion
Ink:  Dapper Denim, Marina Mist, Smokey Slate, Sahara Sand
Paper:  Dapper Denim Base, Whisper White Layer
Accessories:  Dimensions, Silver Sequins

I really liked this Non Tradition Christmas Card; using the Frosted Medallion created the Snowflake look, mixed with hot new In Color Dapper Denim, this card turned out spectacular!

 I hope that you enjoyed our Kit Class Cards, contact me if you would ever like to join us or purchase the set of cards either in a kit or already made.

Happy Stamping!!
Cindy

November Technique Class Cards - Vellum Overlay

Good Morning Everyone,
Today I want to share with you the fun technique that we did for November.  It is called Vellum Overlay, such a super simple technique and can add so much to your Christmas Cards!!

Vellum Overlay is a great way to add a more subtle look to cards.  By stamping or layering your image on cardstock, cut a piece of vellum the same size and lay it over the top of your image.  Attach the vellum to your card base using dimensions, ribbons or brads.

Here are the cards!!

Card #1 - Star of Light at Christmas

 Stamp Sets:  Star of Light
Ink:  Soft Sky, Black
Paper:  Soft Sky Base, Whisper White Layer, Vellum, Silver Glimmer
Accessories:  Starlight Thinlets, Fancy Frost Sequins, Dimensions, Silver Glitter Ribbon

We used Dimensions to attach the vellum to our Soft Sky Star, then covered the dimension with the Silver Glimmer Star.  Simple is beautiful in this card!!

Card #2 - Christmas Medallion
 Stamp Set:  Frosted Medallion
Ink:  Sweet Sugarplum, Early Espresso
Paper:  Sweet Sugarplum Base, Fancy Frost Layer, Vellum
Accessories:  Fancy Frost Sequins, Sugarplum Frost Ribbon, Dimensions, White Embossing Powder

We attached the vellum to our Sweet Sugarplum Circle using a little glue on the embossed part. Another super simple card that is oh so pretty!

Card #3 - Cookie Cutter Christmas - Fancy Fold (Valley & Mountain Fold)
Stamp Set:  Cookie Cutter Christmas
Ink: Tip Top Taupe, Black
Paper:  Tip Top Taupe Base (Scored at 1 1/8 & 4 1/4), Candy Cane Lane Designer Series Paper, Real Red, Red Glimmer Paper Scraps
Accessories:  Cookie Cutter Punch, Dimensions, 2" Circle Punch, Starburst Die

Add sentiment piece along front fold, making sure to only tape half of the red starburst circle to attach to card base.  The finishing touch was bow ties for the Gingerbread boys and girls!!

And here is the cute inside of our finished card.
I love this card and the added Candy Cane Designer paper that shows on the front of the card when it is closed, is actually attached to the inside of the card.

If you love these cards as much as we did, consider joining us for our monthly Technique Class, we would love to meet you!  If you do not live in the area, these cards are available as a Kit, you receive everything that you need to make them or can also be ordered Already Made.  Contact me if you are interested.
