Inkredible Stamping

Today I'm sharing the last of the cards from the Christmas Class. If you're looking for a simply elegant card idea these are for you!

The fifth card for the class needed a touch of Dazzling Diamonds glitter. I can't believe we made it through the whole class with only one glitter card. It was very easy glitter – just dot the 2-way glue pen randomly over the card stock to make little dots of snow – then sprinkle with glitter and shake off the excess.

This card featured the stamp sets, Heard From The Heart and Winter Post. There is a vellum edge at the bottom of the card stamped with pink snowflakes. We used the new scallop punch to add a fun detail to the bottom of the card as well. This card is actually one of the easiest cards from the class but it pack a big WOW!

And last but not least!! Another card from Lisa. This one features a little watercoloring technique. We try to keep the cards as simple as possible to make them easy to mass produce but this one was crying out for a watercolor look. With the help of my color expert Crista we came up with a technique that is pretty quick and easy. To help the students out at the class we created a sample board showing the steps for coloring the image…

The coloring map worked out very well and I'm sure I'll use it again in the future! Say hi to Jackie, Maggie, Priscilla, and Grandma (Cleo). All concentrating hard on their coloring.

I know you're anxious to see it… Here's the finished card.

A Cardinal Christmas stamp set is one of the best cardinal stamps I've seen. I LOVE it!

If you could not make the Christmas Card class don't worry. My second favorite class of the season is coming up soon! The Annual Ornament Buffet will be held on Saturday December 13th – Just in time to crank out some ornaments as tie-ons for Christmas Gifts.

Watch for more details on the Ornament Buffet coming in the November Newsletter - If you're not on my newsletter list sign up by typing your e-mail address in the newsletter box at the top of the page.

Happy Stampin'
