Christmas Class Cards

Hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving! (Canada) On Sunday, my family enjoyed a wonderful Turkey Dinner out…with wayyyyyy to much chocolate cake for dessert and the next morning went out for a delicious brunch at my step-parents home. Again….way too much yummy food!  What is it about holidays and food?!

Today, I’m sharing with you a few of the cards we’ve made at my Christmas card classes.

Card 1: This one has been one of the favourite cards we’ve made…everybody LOVES embossing!

Card 2: This card is using the hostess stamp set on page 20, Perfect Presentation. I love using our new In Colors, found in our catalogue on page 165. All of the 6 colours have the matching Double-Stitched Ribbon which makes it so easy to add the perfect ribbon to your projects!

Too funny…men can stamp too!

Here’s a little comedy on Thanksgiving….my husband and I had a laugh watching this video and thought I’d share it with all of you!

  Click on the square to see it!

It is a Man-Made card video clip. He uses a circular saw to cut the cardstock. That gives you some idea on the tone of the video.

Happy Thanksgiving Canada!

Diva Night Projects

On Thursday, we had our quarterly Diva Night for my team, the INKredible Canadian Stampers. Demonstrators get to earn this fun event through their sales and those who earn it all get to enjoy stamping, business sharing, and best of all SPA TREATMENTS!!! My toes are loving me now, there are so pretty-in-pink!!!! Edited to say: I forgot to mention…we lost power about half way through and had to stamp by candle-light…what an adventure!!! We had alot of fun!

ok…back to stamping! Tracie brought us this cute Witch Shoe as a Make and Take.

Isn’t it adorable using our Creepy Crawly Designer Paper. This double sided papers is absolutely perfect for your Halloween projects and scrapbook pages! Witch Shoe

We also had fun creating these Christmas Ornaments using our Dashing Decorative Designer Paper and On Board Trimmings Chipboard from the Holiday Mini Collection.

Hope you’re having a HAPPY WORLD CARD MAKING DAY!!!!

Season of Joy Card

Season of Joy Card

This card was made by my very talented downline, Heather Fosbery. She first found it on SCS and tweaked the design to make it “her own”…isn’t it lovely!?

It’s hard to see from the scan, but, there’s a vellum overlay as the top layer where the “Peace, Love, Joy” was stamped. I’m thinking of using this design in my next Christmas Card Class.

Colours: Purely Pomegranate, River Rock, Very Vanilla

Enjoy! Josee Smuck

All ready for Christmas…

I asked my husband to put up a few Christmas Decorations in my stamp room for my Christmas class the other night. He had a lot of fun…lol…here are a couple of the photos:

I have to say….I love Christmas…my customers even got to enjoy making their 5 Christmas cards to Christmas music.

My next Christmas class is: October 25th, you can view all my classes here…if you’re not local to Ottawa, feel free to ask for my Christmas Class to Go. Same great price! (Canada only)

Stampers Club Project #2-October

Here is the second club project we made last night. Pretties Kit Card

We used Regal Rose ink with the Doodle Wheel as it seemed to coordinate well with the Pretties Kit accessories we added to the square card. I like so many of the new Jumbo Wheel  designs in the catalogue, it really is hard to decide which to use on a card!  

Colours: Regal Rose, Pretty in Pink, Whisper White
