Basket of Wishes for my November 2016 classes

The Basket of Wishes set in the 2016-17 Holiday mini is so awesome.  So suitable for many occasions.  I have seen a gazillion ideas on Pinterest, as well as Split Coast Stampers, and Google.  So many ideas, so much card stock, so little time.  What's a girl to do!!!
I am offering this one at all of my November 8, November 10, and November 12, 2016 classes, 
Recipe:

• The base is a 11 x 4 1/4 piece of Crumb Cake, scored at 5 1/2.
• Next is a 5 1/4 x 4 piece of Rich Razzleberry.
• Next is a 5 x 3 3/4 piece of Fancy Frost Specialty paper.
• Adhere a 4 3/4 x 3/4 piece of Paisleys & Petals DSP, and two 2 1/2 x 1/2 pieces of Serene Scenery DSP pack on the Fancy Frost Specialty paper with Tombow liquid glue.
• Use Always Artichoke and the Layering Circle Framelits to cut out a scallop circle, and Whisper White to cut out the circle with the image from Basket of Wishes.  I stamped with image with Memento Black ink and let it dry for a few minutes before I colored the basket and pumpkin with markers.
• The words are stamped on a 3 x 1 3/8 piece of Whisper White, and sponged the edges with a Sponge Dauber and Rich Razzleberry ink
• I tied a bow with Linen Thread and adhered it with a glue dot.
• Remember to decorate your envelope, can't leave the house naked, right?

Strength & Prayers for my November 2016 Classes

When we have the need to send cards to let others know we care, and are thinking about them, it's nice to have a card handy, for just that occasion.  So, this is another offering at all of my November 8, November 10, and November 12, 2016 classes, and I am really excited to share it.  
Recipe:

• The base is a 11 x 4 1/4 piece of Night of Navy, scored at 5 1/2.
• Next is a 5 1/4 x 4 piece of Silver Foil paper.
• Next is a 5 x 3 3/4 piece of Whisper White.
• I adhered a 3 3/4 x 3 1/4 angled piece of Floral Boutique Designer Series Paper on the Whisper White with snail.
• I used the Stamp-a-ma-jig to position and stamp the words with Night of Navy ink on the Whisper White card stock.  (you will want to stamp your words close to the bottom and the left of the card)
• I wrapped a piece of Silver ribbon over the DSP/White piece and to hold the ribbon in place, I glued it to the back of the white.
• I glued this combination to the Silver foil paper, and glued all to the Night of Navy base.
• I stamped the dove with Versamark on Whisper White and heat embossed it with silver embossing powder.  I then cut the embossed dove out with the Big Shot and an oval from the Layering Oval Framelits Dies.
• The Night of Navy scalloped piece and the Smoky Slate oval piece are also from the Layering Oval Framelits Dies.  I glued all these pieces together, and popped them up with dimensionals.
• Remember to decorate your envelope, can't leave the house naked, right?

Paisleys & Posies, and Suite Seasons

I am offering one of these cards at all of my November 8, November 10, and November 12, 2016 classes, just haven't decided which color combination yet.  The top card has a Cajun Craze base, and the bottom card has a Rich Razzleberry base.  The top card's flower is made with our new Copper Foil paper, and the bottom card's flower is made with Gold Foil paper.  
Hard decision, because I like them both.  What's a girl to do?  Offer them both?  Maybe.  (See below for details on my classes).

Recipe:

• The base is a 11 x 4 1/4 piece of Cajun Craze or Rich Razzleberry, scored at 5 1/2.
• Next is a 5 1/4 x 4 piece of Very Vanilla.
• Next is a 5 x 3 3/4 piece of Mint Macaron, stamped at random with the stamps from Paisleys & Posies with Mint Macaron ink.
• I adhered a 4 7/8 x 1/2 piece of Copper or Gold Foil paper on the Mint Macaron.
• Next is a 4 7/8 x 1 3/4 piece of Cajun Craze or Rich Razzleberry, and on top of that is a 4 3/4 x 1 5/8 piece of DSP from the Petals & Paisleys paper. (You don't see the 4 7/8 x 1 3/4 piece of Cajun Craze under the DSP because my brain got ahead of me).
• The words are stamped on a 2 7/8 x 1 3/8 piece of Very Vanilla.  This piece is backed with a 3 x 1 1/2 piece of Mint Macaron, and then backed with a 3 1/8 x 1 5/8 piece of either Cajun Craze or Rich Razzleberry.
• The leaves were cut out with the Paisley Framelits Dies using the foil paper.
• The ribbon is part of the 3/8" Ribbon Trio pack that is in the Holiday Mini, page 47.
• I added a basic pearl to the leaves/flower.
• Remember to decorate your envelope, can't leave the house naked, right?

Christmas Pines for my November, 2016 Classes

I'm excited to share with you one of the cards I am offering at all of my November 8, November 10, and November 12, 2016, classes.  (See below for details about my classes).  I've used Christmas Pines and the Pretty Pines Thinlits dies. 
Recipe:

• The base is a 11 x 4 1/4 piece of Early Espresso, scored at 5 1/2.
• Next is a 5 1/4 x 4 piece of Real Red.
• Next is a 5 x 3 3/4 piece of Very Vanilla, embossed with the Cable Knit Embossing Folder.  (This embossing folder is very thick, so when you use it, you only need your platform and one cutting plate).
• The branches are cut using the Pretty Pines Thinlits Dies, and Garden Green card stock.
• The words are stamped on Very Vanilla card stock with Real Red ink from the Christmas Pines stamp set, and cut out with the Big Shot & the Layering Ovals Framelits dies.  
• The base under the words is cut from Real Red card stock, with the Layering Ovals Framelits dies.  
• The Real Red ribbon is retired, and I'm sure, any red ribbon you decide to use will work just fine.
• Remember to decorate your envelope, can't leave the house naked, right?

Lama Fiesta Birthday

I think the lama from the Birthday Fiesta set, (page 11 of the 2016-17 catalog) is so cute.  When I started designing this card, I just couldn't stop adding things to it.  I was afraid my little lama would get away, so I had to tie him to the cactus.  Now, seriously, what lama would actually run away from me!!  
I am offering this one in all of my October 4, October 6, and October 8, 2016 classes.  
Recipe:

• The base is a 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 piece of Tempting Turquoise scored at 4 1/4.
• Next is a 5 1/4 x 4 piece of Whisper White.
• Next is a 5 x 3 3/4 piece of Melon Mambo, embossed with the Festive Textured embossing folder.
• The fence and fence posts are cut from Crumb Cake. The fence railings are 1/4 x 5, and the fence posts are 1/2 x 1 3/4.
• The lama was stamped with Crumb Cake ink on Whisper White card stock, and cut out with the Fiesta Time Framelits Dies.  The lama's blanket was stamped with Melon Mambo ink.
• The cactus was stamped with Emerald Envy on Whisper White card stock, cut out with the Fiesta Time Framelits Dies, and the Whisper White banner was cut out with the Fiesta Time Framelits Dies, and stamped with Crushed Curry ink.
• The little, skinny strip of Tempting Turquoise was also cut out with the Fiesta Time Framelits Dies.
• The lama's hat and the pinata were cut with my paper snips from the Festive Birthday DSP.
• The words were stamped on a 1 1/4 x 2 1/4 piece of Whisper White with Tempting Turquoise ink, and popped up with dimensionals.
• I used some Crushed Curry Baker's Twine to tie the lama to the cactus.

Spooky Fun, Home Sweet Home, & Halloween Night DSP for my October 2016 classes

I don't usually offer more than one or two Halloween cards in my September and October classes, and this year was a definite exception.  I'm lovin' all of the Halloween stamps, dies, punches, and everything else "Halloweenee" that is in the 2016-17 Holiday Mini by Stampin' Up!
I am very excited to offer this cute card in all of my October 4th, October 6th, and October 8th classes.   It is so easy, you won't believe it, and lots of fun to make.  
Recipe:

• The base is a 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 piece of Basic Black, scored at 4 1/4.
• Next is a 5 1/4 x 4 piece of Pumpkin Pie.
• Next is a 5 x 3 3/4 piece of Whisper White, embossed with the Brick Wall embossing folder, and sponged with Smoky Slate ink.
• The ovals were cut with the Layering Ovals Framelits. The largest in Pumpkin Pie, the middle one in Basic Black, and the top oval was cut from the Halloween Night DSP.  
• The fence was cut using the Halloween Scenes Framelits dies on Basic Black card stock.  
• The little ghost was stamped on Whisper White card stock with Tuxedo Memento black ink, and cut out with the Home Sweet Home Thinlits Dies.  
• The pumpkins were stamped with Pumpkin Pie ink on Pumpkin Pie card stock, cut out with the Halloween Scenes Edgelits Dies, and the little faces on the pumpkins were stamped with Tuxedo Memento black ink. 
• The words from Suite Seasons were stamped on Whisper White with Pumpkin Pie ink, then punched out with the Decorative Label punch.  The backing behind the words was also punched with the Decorative Label punch and Basic Black card stock, cut apart vertically, and glued behind the white piece.  Then both pieces were popped up with dimensionals.
