Interactive Christmas Card

Image
It's almost that time of year to start getting Christmas cards made and in the mail. I love making a card people will remember. I usually try to keep it simple since I usually have to make 15 cards. Every once in a while I get a wild hair and have to make a doozie just to send out to a certain person that really appreciates the effort I put into it. I decided I wanted to make at least one interactive Christmas card that can hold a gift card. It's like a surprise within a surprise.  It was a challenging card that was inspired by my card making hero Jennifer Mcguire. She is just amazing at techniques and thinking outside of the box. I love her style and creativity.  This is my version. It has a slide out sentiment and it opens like a regular card. The person receiving it would pull on the ribbon and the white card will slide out with a gift card attached to the back.  I made this card using Real Red card stock for the main s...

Hold on to Hope Card

Image
I designed the Hold on to Hope card to show a fun technique using the positive and negative cut outs of dies. This is an inlaid technique and it's simple to do and results in a very impressive look. The stamp set I used was Stampin' Up! Hold on to Hope. It's a new set that will be available in January for purchase. This set has a coordinating die set called Cross of Hope Framelits. The materials: White thick cardstock -cut at 3 1/4' x 4 1/4", a scrap piece of white cardstock to glue on die cut, and a 1/2" strip Black cardstock -cut at 3 1/2" x 4 1/2", a piece cut at 3"x 3" for die cutting, and a 3/4" strip  Emerald Envy cardstock cut at 4 1/4" x 11", Then folded at 5 1/2" to make the card base Yellow cardstock cut at 3"x 3" for die cutting Stampin' Up! stamp set Hold on to Hope Stampin' Up! die set Big Shot die cutter Emerald Envy ink pad Memento Black Tuxedo ink pad Versa Ma...

Kit Snob!!

Image
I've really gotten into one of the all inclusive kits that is featured in the Annual Catalog . This box is amazing for all that comes in it. Have you considered getting one of these kits?  I didn't.  Nope. I have been stamping, doing scrapbook pages, and cards since high school, so I thought I didn't need to get  cards or pre-punched designs. I mean, come on, I could make that with all the paper, stamps and dies that I already have. I was being a total kit snob. I just didn't want to do it. Then, the other day I was trying to come up with a class. I realized, holy cow, I would have to buy paper, stamps, glue, embellishment and the list was getting longer and longer. This also meant the price of the class was getting bigger and bigger $$. What is a new demonstrator to do?  I was starting to stress, and then I saw it.👀 The "Oh Happy Day" all inclusive kit . It had everything (and I do mean everything) plus I would only have to charge my students for the price...
