Christmas in July Projects

I held my Annual Christmas in July class last weekend, and as promised am back to show you some more of the cards featured in that class. 

These cards featured Season of Joy Stamp set available in our current Stampin Up Catalogue.  The first card was inspired by a card I saw on http://www.prettyimpact.com/ and the second one was my own design featuring Faux Mother of Pearl technique and Letters to Santa Designer Series papers also currently available in our catalogue.


This next card and closeup to show more of the detail also feature the Season of Joy Stamp set as well as some collage stamping incorporating Winter Post set on the main image and the snowflakes around the greeting.  The greeting is from the Set Many Merry Messages and the background is the En Francais Stamp.  This was our Feature card of the day, an Easel card with lots of elements and a variety of products.  It also featured the Faux Mother of Pearl technique with colouring on Whisper White, a litte bit different to the card above which used the glossy card.  If you are interested in learning to make this card, or require any further details or want to purchase these products, please ask.

I'll be back to share a few more cards of our day.

    Gorgeous cards Carolyn. I particularly like the way you added the the Decorative Label to the tips of the Labels framelits at the top and bottom - very clever and novel. I did a double take because I thought for a moment that there was another framelits collection out and I didn't know about it (not including the ones in the Holiday Cat). Love your blog too. xEvelyn

PCCCSC174 - Merry Christmas

Image
Hello Everyone, Welcome to our Wednesday card sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Here's our sketch this week    I'm using some designer papers called Merry Moments combined with Festival of Trees stamp and greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  The cardstock used is Whisper White and Smoky Slate with inks of Old Olive and Real Red.  The greeting comes from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and has been punched out with the Washi Tape punch. Here's a closer look.  I love how the Designer papers add so much colour this this card.  The Festival of trees stamp has been combined with the Tree punch for this card. Thanks so much for joining me this week to view my card.  For more inspiration please visit the Paper Craft Crew challenge and see what our other Designers have created this week. Have a great day.

Music Teacher Farewell // Paper Players #173 Shaped Card Challenge

Image
Hello Everyone, It's a sad week for my daughter and her friends who have really enjoyed what the music program offered them at the High School this year.  Their very talented teacher will be moving on to a new school and they're having a little party for their last day of the Vocal ensemble practice which was an extra activity that he undertook with the students, as well as teaching them to play all sorts of instruments in lesson times. His speciality though, Guitar!  I have decided to enter this card into the Paper Players Shaped Card Challenge this week.  While not specifically made for the challenge, I think it's a pretty cool shape and fits the criteria.  I also think more people deserve to see this card. When asked to make a card for the group to give him, with that in mind I found some inspiration on Pinterest and came up with this card. The hardest part for me was getting the shaping right, and I had to call on my Artistic daughter to draw the edge...

Just Add Ink 184 - Just Add Bows

Hi Everyone, How are we this Friday?  I'm good, been to the Dentist this morning for my regular check.  The good news is today was relatively painless, the bad news is I have to go back for some fillings.  Yuck! There's a great challenge at Just Add Ink this week brought to us by Trish to Just Add Bows.  The paper variety are so popular at the moment so that's what I'm making today. I've used my Extra Large oval punch with some of the gorgeous Winter Frost Designer Series Paper pack.  This is one of the foil sheets from the pack for my bow.  I've kept this card simple and elegant making a square card, so that it looks like a gift. Here is a closeup of that bow. I've used Bermuda Bay and Whisper White cardstock today with the Winter Frost paper pack.  I really like the colour combinations in these papers.  You can pack these cards quite quickly and they look so effective. Thanks for stopping by today to view my card.  P...
