Snowflake Notes

Hey, everyone!

While cleaning up the Christmas wrapping paper and things, I discovered a really nice piece of cardboard. I thought it would make a great backing for a notepad. I measured it and it was exactly 4" square!! I cut a piece of beautiful snowflake, glittery paper from My Mind's Eye Sweet Dreams Holiday Avenue paper collection and cut a piece of paper 4x4 to go on the cardboard and then another piece to measure 2x3½ to go around my jumbo binder clip. I scored it using my Scor-Pal at 1" and the notch over to the right of the 2...the groove with the circle/dot on top. I added a pretty white satin ribbon to the top!
I love the shimmery paper! I had some loose sheets of note paper so I put those under the clip and stamped a snowflake from the Ornamental Snowflakes stamp set from TAC. I also used the Dear Friend stamp set in the Serendipity magalog. The ink is Charcoal Palette Hybrid ink. Thanks for stopping by! I hope you'll be back tomorrow for a really fun post!

Hugs,

Card Class Cards

Hey, everyone!

I have so much fun when I have card classes in my home! We created 4 cards and I wanted to share them with you today.
This "Get Well Soon" card was created using Premium White cardstock from TAC. It measure 4¼" x 8½" and is scored at 4¼" with my Scor-Pal. The piece of Willoughby cardstock measures 3¾" square. The tent topper is created using two scallop punches, the square from the Sweet Goodies is stamped with Raw Sienna ink and the sentiment is from Trendy Greetings and stamped in Burnt Sienna ink. I used my white gel pen for the dots on the scallops. The base is Premium White cardstock.
I thought a colorful card like this would be great for sending a note of encouragement to someone who may need cheered up! The stamp set is Happy Day from TAC. I stamped the image in Burnt Umber, then colored with my Tombow Brights markers, Stardust Glittering Gel Pens, and Souffle Pens. The paper is Tutti Frutti designer paper, green cardstock and Premium White cardstock. The sentiment is stamped in Jardin Moss. The card measures 4¼" x 11" and scored at 5½" with my Scor-Pal.
This is one of two non-traditional Christmas cards we made. This square card measures 10" x 5½" and scored at 5½" with my Scor-Pal. The base is Premium White cardstock. The designer paper is our new double-sided More Mimi. The layers are brown, green and Premium White cardstock. The snowflakes were stamped in Belle Rose ink, with Ornamental Snowflakes. The sentiment is a PWP stamp that you can get for only $2.95 and is stamped in Burnt Umber.
When I think of Christmas cards, I really don't think of black, but this works! I really like the black and white contrast with the pop of Reflection Blue ink! The snowflakes were created with a stamp from the Circle Sampler stamp set. The sentiment is from Trendy Greetings. So very fun!! This card measures 11" x 4½" and scored at 5½" with my Scor-Pal. My next card class is Thursday, November 12. If you are unable to make it, you can always purchase the card class kits for only $10 (plus s/h if required). The images will already be stamped for you if you order a kit. Be sure to let me know you're coming so I can have your card kits ready. Feel free to bring a friend! The more the merrier! LOL
