Christmas Card Stamp-A-Stack Class 2

Oct 7, 2018 | Cards, Christmas | 0 comments

My second Christmas Card Stamp-a-Stack is in 2 weeks.  I have 3 different designs ready for this one.  This set is more down-home Christmas.

The first one uses the Mistletoe Season stamp set in the big catalog with the matching Under the Mistletoe Designer Series Paper.  It’s Shaded Spruce and Old Olive with a Cherry Cobbler bow.  I love how the Gold Foil paper for the little jingle bells turned out.

The second one uses the new Buffalo Check background stamp and the Winter Woods stamp set.  This one is Real Red, Crumb Cake, and Early Espresso.  I colored in the birch tree trunks with our Chalk Marker and used a little Burlap Ribbon under the main image.

The third one uses the Christmas Bulb Builder punch and Making Christmas Bright stamp set.  I also “hung” the light bulbs from Braided Linen Trim and used the Corrugated Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder for the background.

I can’t wait to have everyone over again to make these cards.  I just finished making the extras I cut for myself from the first class…24 cards total.  I mail a Christmas card to every customer that buys from me, so I need a lot of cards.  Thankfully, my Christmas card drawer is already getting full.

Christmas Card Stamp-A-Stack Class 1

I love doing Stamp-A-Stack classes.  And, Christmas cards are the perfect project for this type of class. For my first SAS class, I designed elegant cards using the Joyous Noel 6×6 Glimmer Paper in the Holiday Catalog.  I just love the colors of this glimmer pack: Copper, Merry Merlot, and Tranquil Tide.  One thing I also try to do is not use the Big Shot for these since we are making a dozen cards.  That way, everyone can finish 12 cards in 3 hours, plus if they want to make tons more, the designs are easy to duplicate.

I made these at my retreat last weekend plus another set for a SAS in October.  I’m in love with the Dashing Deer stamp set…I think I made about 4 Christmas card designs using that bundle so far.
