Six Sayings, Another Version by Wendie Jamison

On December 13, 2015, I posted a card on my blog using the hostess-only stamp set, Six Sayings.  I offered it at all of my December, 2015 classes.  

My sweet friend, Wendie Jamison, liked my card, though, she really needed a Holiday note card, and this is her beautifully designed masterpiece.  Just another example of what you can do with the same paper, ink, accessories, and choosing a different stamp. Thank you, Wendie.

Guest Designer, Gail Cobb, and Vintage Leaves

This beautiful, and incredibly easy card was designed by my friend, Gail Cobb, a fantastic and very talented Stampin' Up! demonstrator. I am excited to offer Gail's card in all my January 5, January 7, and January 9, 2016 classes. 

• Score a piece of  11 x 4 1/4 Thick Whisper White cardstock at 5 1/2.  Using the thicker cardstock for the base gives more stability to the card.
• Cut a piece of SU Gold Foil to 5 1/4 x 4 and layer it on top of the folded Whisper White cardstock with snail adhesive.  Set aside.
• Cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock to 5 x 3/4.  Ink a SU clear block D with Sahara Sand classic ink and stamp directly on the 5 x 3/4 piece of Whisper White cardstock.  
• Ink a leaf from Vintage Leaves with Early Espresso classic ink, and stamp over the Sahara Sand square.
• Tie a piece of the gold metallic thread into a bow and adhere it with a glue dot to the base of the leaf.
• Cut a piece of Gold Foil to 3/4 x 3, and a piece of Whisper White to 5/8 x 2 3/4.  Stamp a sentiment on the white piece with Early Espresso ink, and glue the white piece to the foil with snail.  The sentiment used here is SU's  Me=Grateful, (item #139319).  Use dimensionals on the back of the foil piece to pop up the sentiment piece.
• Remember to stamp your envelope with a sentiment or leaf.  No naked envelopes, right?

Six Sayings is a wonderful and fantastic, hostess-only set in the 2015 Holiday mini and is available until December 28, 2015.  It is just $11.00 for clear mount and $15.00 for wood mount.  If you would like to own this all occasion stamp set, let me know.  All you have to do is to host your own workshop, or place an order for a minimum of just $150.00.  

To make my card:

-I scored a 11 x 4 1/4 piece of Night of Navy card stock at 5 1/2.

-Next, I embossed a 5 1/4 x 4 piece of Soft Sky with the Gently Falling embossing folder, and glue it to my scored Night of Navy.

-I glued my 3 x 4 piece of Season of Cheer DSP to a 3 1/4 x 4 1/4 piece of Real Red card stock, and glued this combination to the Soft Sky with Tombow liquid glue.

-I next used my Stamp-a-ma-jig and stamped my sentiment on a 2 1/4 x 3 1/4 piece of Shimmery White card stock with Night of Navy ink.

-I used my Hexagon punch to cut "tails" to both ends of my 1/2 x 3 piece of Silver Glimmer paper, and attached it to my sentiment piece with snail.

-I used a glue dot to adhere my embellishment to the Glimmer paper.  I used the retired Frosted Finishes, however; the Winter Wonderland embellishments would look great.

All Ye Faithful

My card today uses the All Ye Faithful stamp set that is in the 2015 Holiday Mini.  It is not going to be carried over to the new 2016 Occasions mini, so I am thankful I have already purchased it.  

I combined SU's gold foil sheets and their Fancy Gold Foil Vellum, and I like how they coordinate.  I stamped the Wisemen in Soft Suede ink, and embossed Mary and Joseph with gold embossing powder.  I am offering this card at my December 8, December 10, and my December 12, 2015 classes.

Wonderland and Organza Ribbon

I received this beautiful card when I attended Brian King's World Card Making Day event in October, 2015.  It was made by Colleen Dewey, a SU demonstrator in Newnan, Georgia. You can visit her Stampin' Up! website Here.  I have not CASEd her card yet, though, I did want to share her talents with you.

Colleen made her card like this:

-She stamped the trees with Soft Suede ink, leaving space to stamp again in Smoky Slate ink.  Make sure you clean your stamp before changing ink colors.

-Next, she stamped the trees in Versamark ink.

-Sprinkled the trees with Heat & Stick powder, and heated the powder using a heat gun.  Don't overheat, you want the image to still be tacky.

-Next, she sprinkled Dazzling Diamonds over the image, and heated until dry.  Don't overheat or your image will burn.

-Colleen died a piece of Whisper White Organza ribbon, by dabbing it in the Soft Suede ink.  Make sure you let it dry, maybe an hour or so.

-Corner round the edges, if you prefer.

-Stamp the words in Soft Suede ink, and you're done.

December 2015 Hostess Club Project-Wonderland Shaker Card

The card I posted yesterday was a spinning tree card.  Today's card shakes.  My hostess club members will be making this card at our meeting coming up this Thursday, December 3, 2015.  So you might say they will be shakin' and spinnin'.   Shaker cards are so easy, and fun to make, and if you want to see a "how to" video, just look for "Shaker cards" on YouTube.  There are many from which you can choose.   

To make my card:

-I first embossed snowflakes with white embossing powder on a 5 1/4 x 4 piece of Night of Navy card-stock.  

-I next glued a 5 1/4 x 4 piece of Vellum to the embossed Night of Navy piece by putting glue dots on the centers of my embossed snowflakes.  

-Next I cut my circle using the 5th die from the largest of the Circle Framelits Dies.  The circle is actually 2 7/8".  

-I used Tombow liquid glue to adhere the Silver Glimmer circle edge to my Vellum/Cardstock.  To get the Silver Glimmer thin circle, I nested the 4th and 5th (from the largest) Circle Framelits Dies together and cut using the Big Shot.  

-I glued with Tombow liquid glue, a Stampin' Up! 3 1/2 square window sheet to the back of my embossed Night of Navy piece.

-I next glued foam adhesive (not dimensionals) to the back of the window sheet, following the circle opening.

-I next stamped the trees from Wonderland using Night of Navy ink onto a 3 1/2 x 4 piece of Whisper White cardstock.

-I then sprinkled chunky clear glitter (I had this left over from my To You & Yours Shaker Project Kit) on the stamped trees.  You can actually use SU's Silver Glass Glitter, or Dazzling Diamonds, they both would work just fine.

-Next, I removed the paper covering from the foam adhesive circle and placed the Night of Navy/Vellum piece over the stamped tree image.

-I put dimensionals on the back of my completed card front and adhered it to my 11 x 4 1/4 piece of Night of Navy, which I had scored at 5 1/2.

-I used a die from the Project Life Framelits collection for the words, which came from Versatile Christmas, and stamped them in Real Red ink.
