Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! 

I made one last Christmas card to share with you using the For Unto Us and In the Pines stamp sets.

I cut 1" off the front side of the card base and added some Poinsettia Place designer series paper to the inside of the card along with some stamped images.  On the front, I also used the same designer series paper, a die cut from the Tasteful labels dies and some Fine Art 3/8" ribbon.  There are a few champagne rhinestones added to complete the card.

Supplies:

For Unto Us, In the Pines

Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, Early Espresso, Balmy Blue ink

Very Vanilla Soft Suede card stock

September Stamp Club Projects

This month's stamp club projects use lots of different colors, patterns and stamp sets covering both the holiday catalog and the idea book.  

The layout uses the Poinsettia Place designer series paper and I chose to use lots of the different patterns in both the background papers and also the punched circles.

The first card uses the Forever Fern stamp set and Forever Greenery designer series paper, I used colors coordinating with the designer paper with the exception of the Highland Heather stamped images.

Next, we used the Press On stamp set and Tin Tile folder along with the Tasteful Labels dies for the thank you card.

And finally, a bonus single layer card using the In the Pines stamp set.

We always have room for and welcome new friends to stamp club, if you are interested you can email me here.
