Christmas SAS

Card 1

This card was copied almost exactly from cards I saw here.  I changed the punch used for the buckle.  I think the sentiment from the Just Believe set is perfect for this card!

Supplies:
sets - just believe, sassy salutations
cs - real red 8.5 x 5.5", blk 4.25 x 1" belt and scraps for buttons, wh 3.75 x 5' guts and beard, champagne or silver glimmer paper
ink - blk and real red pads
access - jolly jingles jumbo wheel (for env), big shot and apothecary accents framelits
punches - 1/2" circle, 1" sq, curly label

Notes:

1. Punch out the square and center the curly label punch over the hole to create the buckle.
2. Adhere the blk belt across the red card; then adhere glimmer buckle on top and the blk belt will show through the 1" sq opening.

Card 1 - inside

Card 2

I was inspired to create this card by this card Tammy, gave me.  The inside was inspired by my friend Cheryl's design.  I like the way she used the punch out on the inside.

Supplies:

Card 6 - Money Card - inside

The final card was copied almost exactly from Barb Mulikin.  She said she makes a lot of these money cards.  I can see why because they are quite easy.

Notes:

1. score the cobbler base card at 3-1/8" and 6.5"
2. fold it up and cut the shortest flap on the diagonal
3. add sticky strip to the wide edge of that flap to create the money pocket

Have a very Merry Christmas!  Mary

Multi Use Sheets make Glimmery Ribbon Cards Easy

 incentive card from Tami

My upline (the person I'm signed up under) gave me this beautiful card.  Use the big shot multi purpose sheets, which are sticky on one side; add various ribbon scraps with spaces between; then dip in dazzling diamonds glitter.  Adhere the piece behind opening cut out with the Ornament framelits.

Dec Club Projects

Santa Card

Santa Card, inside

Tri Fold Shutter Card

Tri Fold Shutter Card, open

Tri Fold Shutter Card, open bird's eye view

We had a lot of fun making these two projects.  The first card, the Santa card, was copied from my friend, Cheryl, except for the inside.  On the inside we used a Cherry Cobbler marker to ink up a single phrase on the Jolly Jingles jumbo wheel.  

The Tri fold Shutter card is easier than it looks.  You simply score the width of a 5.5" x 12" piece of cs at 2", 4", 8" and 10", we used cherry cobbler.  Then you create two parallel slits on the length of the cs between the first and last score lines, 1.5" from each edge.  Next you add DSP (we used Be of Good Cheer) to each section, cut with about 1/16" border around the DSP.  Finally we stamped images with the Snow Much Fun set in whisper white craft ink  and embossed them with white ep on Gumball Green cs.  We cut out the images and popped up the ones on front with dimensionals.  The Merry Christmas sentiment from Sassy Salutations is stamped with cobbler ink on vanilla cs and is wrapped with a piece of cobbler seam binding.

Happy Stamping!  Mary

Christmas Peek-a-boo Circles Card

Christmas Peek-a-boo Circles Card - inside

Here are a few cards I made at my friend Cheryl's stamp class a couple weekends ago.  I won't share the 4th card we made yet, because I did a version of it in my club.  So, I'll share those in a couple days.  The first card was inspired by a card I showed her that mt upline, Tammy, had given me.
