Tuscan Vineyard for my December 2017 classes

Today I thought I would showcase a non-Christmas card I am offering at my next set of Creative Therapy card classes on  December 5, December 7, and December 9, 2017.  

I offer six cards from which to choose at each class, and of the six, those in attendance can make one each of one of the cards for free, (I like free, don't you?), and this is the card I have chosen. 

I used Thoughts & Prayers for my words, and what if you don't want it to be a "Thinking of You" card?  Easy, just change the words.  It's that easy. 
     

Recipe:

• The base is a 8 1/2 x 5 1/2  piece of Sahara Sand, scored at 4 1/4. 
• The Elegant Eggplant layer is 5 1/4 x 4.
• The Very Vanilla layer is 5 x 3 3/4.
• The strip of Sahara Sand on the Vanilla piece is 1 3/4 x 5.
• The ovals are made with the Layering Oval Framelits dies.
• Easy, peasy, for sure.
• Don't forget to decorate your envelope.
• All done!!!

Star of Light and Eastern Beauty for Christmas

I saw this card on Cindy Elam's blog, Heart's Delight Cards, post of November 5, 2017, and you can see her card Here.  It was changed up some to make it my own, of course, right!!!  I am so pleased with the way it turned out, and most of the credit for that goes to my faithful assistant, Michelle Wallace.  Thank you Michelle.      

Recipe:

• The base is a 8 1/2 x 5 1/2  piece of Cherry Cobbler, scored at 4 1/4.

• The scalloped circle is Cherry Cobbler, and the Stitched Framelit circle is Very Vanilla.

Seasonal Bells

I've always liked the stamp set, Seasonal Bells, and realized I haven't used it this season😢.  This card is so easy, and I put it together in minutes.  

Recipe:

• The base is a 8 1/2 x 5 1/2  piece of Cherry Cobbler, scored at 4 1/4. 
• The Garden Green layer is 5 1/4 x 4 1/4.
• The piece of Be Merry DSP is 5 x 3 3/4.
• The piece of Cherry Cobbler is 1 5/8 x 4 7/8, and the piece of Be Merry dsp is 1 1/2 x 4 5/8.  I punched the tales with the Triple Banner Punch.
• The Gold Glimmer, Garden Green, and Whisper White circles are cut from the Layering Circle Framelits dies.  I stamped the words in Cherry Cobbler from the stamp set, Star of Light.  Because Star of Light is photopolymer I was able to curve it on the acrylic block.  
• The bells are punched from Cherry Cobbler and Garden Green cardstock.  The star on the Cherry Cobbler bell is cut from the Starlight Framelits Dies.  The little Gold Glimmer stars are punched from a retired SU punch, and I put them on the card with the new Mini Stampin' Dimensionals.  They are awesome, and your get 720 of them for just $4.00.
• I stamped the inside with two bells, as well as my envelope and that's it.  
• Don't forget to decorate your envelope.
• All done!!!

Musical Season and Musical Instruments Framelits 

This beautiful card is another offering at all of my December 5, December 7, and December 9, 2017 Creative Therapy card classes.  Just like the card I posted on November 16, 2017, all the measuring, cutting, and even the letters and instrument will be cut out for you.  What could be easier than that, right?

This design came from Leena Girsa, and you can see her card Here. though, you are not going to find any differences.  I decided her card is perfect, so no reason to change a thing.  That's my story and I'm sticking to it!!!,   Besides, Barney (you know the big purple dinosaur said it is okay to copy). 😇 

Recipe:

• The base is a 8 1/2 x 5 1/2  piece of Real Red, scored at 4 1/4. 
• The Basic Black layer is 5 1/4 x 4. 
• The Whisper White layer is 5 x 3 3/4, and is dry embossed with the Holly Embossing Folder.  
• The Basic Black layer on which the DSP is under is 5 x 1 7/8, and the DSP is 4 7/8 x 1 5/8.
• The letters are cut from both Red Glimmer paper and Gold Foil, and the instrument is cut from Gold Foil.  
• The little sprigs are cut from Garden Green card stock with a non SU punch (say it isn't so, right?).  I wanted to use the die from Ready for Christmas, couldn't though, I don't own that set yet. 
• Don't forget to decorate your envelope.
• All done!!!
