October Christmas Card Class Invite

Hello Everyone, Here are the Christmas Cards for you to choose from this month.

September Technique Cards - Wood Planking

I have a great technique to share today, it is called Wood Planking and it is the technique that we did at our monthly technique class. What a fun and easy way to create a new look using Designer Series Paper. Cut strips of Wood grain Designer Series Paper like our Stampin' Up! Wood Texture paper. Distress the edges using a scissors and then covering the white core with a marker like Early Espresso.

Here are the cards:
Card #1 - Beautiful Promenade
I love the colors of this card and how it turned out, don't you?! This stamp set is also one that I think fell by the wayside as there are so many possibilities with it. It is definitely one that we will be using again!

Stamp Sets:  Beautiful Promenade
Ink:  Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana, Memento Black
Paper:  Bermuda Bay Base, Coastal Cabana Layer, Whisper White, Wood Textures DSP
Accessories: Bermuda Bay Mini Stripped Ribbon, White Jute Ribbon

Card #2 - Thinking of You

Stamp Set:  Rooted in Nature
Ink:  Early Espresso, Sahara Sand, Mango Melody
Paper: Mango Melody Base, Early Espresso Layer, Whisper White, Wood Textures DSP
Accessories:  Dimensions

Fancy Fold - Hello
Isn't this card great?!  I saw the idea to use some real cotton and glue it into the bouquet that is on the milk can. It really adds dimension, along with the Chicken Wire that is new in the Holiday Catalog.

Stamp Set:  Country Home
Ink:  Memento Black, Smokey Slate
Paper:  Pool Party Base, Coastal Cabana Layer, Country Lane DSP, Whisper White
Accessories:  Stitched Labels Framelits, Chicken Wire Element, Dimensions, Blends, Tufted Embossing Folder, Wink of Stella
Here is the card when you open it. This card adds that little bit of "Wow"! that we are always looking for.

Thank you for stopping in and looking at our Technique Cards - Wood Planking. Have you ever wanted to learn to stamp, this is a very easy class and we are a great and fun group. Contact me for more details.
