Fast Card Friday: It’s time for Christmas!

July 4th, 2008 by Josee

I know what you’re thinking…Christmas?! Yikes!!! I’m planning my Christmas in July Card Class and thought I’d show you a sneek peak of what we’ll be making. I found this idea on Ann Clemmer’s blog  and new it would be perfect to make. I’ve always loved the Lovely as a Tree set for Christmas and masuline cards so it was great to pull it out to create this lovely card.

Supplies used
Stamps: Lovely as a Tree, Wonderful Words, snowflake (can’t remember the set)
Cardstock: NIght of Navy, Shimmery White Cardstock
Ink: Night of Navy, Whisper White
Accessories: Dazzling Diamonds Glitter, 2-way Glue Pen

Not sure if you can see the glitter on the edge of the Shimmery White cardstock, but, it makes it so sparkly…like a winter wonderland!

Thought I’d also mention, with summer here and my kids being home, I won’t be posting as often as normal, but, will try to still post at least 1-3 times a week! I love to spend time with the kids while they’re home and it’s hard to commit too much time on the computer without getting in TROUBLE from them! *wink* Hope you’re having a wonderful summer so far!

Punch Pals by Eraina

December 29th, 2007 by Josee

This lovely card that I received from one of my customers, Eraina Bronsema for Christmas got high rankings with my husband.

He actually looked at it for more than 1 second and had to tell me everything he liked about it!

Here are some of the items he loved about the card: 
*all the dimensions that she added with the popped up snowman from Punch Pals
*
the white craft ink added to the edges of the card
*the layers of ribbon
*the glitter that added extra sparkle
*the shading on the snowman
*and all the extra glitz she added with decorative paper, faux stitching, etc

I was so impressed that he took the time to admire Eraina’s awesome card…that I just had to share it.

Here’s a close up of her snowman!

BTW, Eraina and her husband own Singleton Lake Family Camping & Cottages in Lyndhurst, ON. If you’re looking for summer camping near Ottawa, you can check it out HERE.

Thanks Eraina for the lovely card!

Have a HAPPY STAMPING DAY! Josee

Merry Christmas!

December 24th, 2007 by Josee

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas!!!
 Don’t eat too much turkey…oh, really….it’s Christmas…stuff yourself silly with as much turkey as you can!!! I know I will.  I think we’re going to be eating 4 turkeys over the holidays!!! Hee, Hee!

Make sure you check back here on Boxing Day for a great special just from me!



 

On that note, here’s a really cute song I found…Stampin’ Style. Enjoy!

Grandma got run over by a brown truck
Going to a stamp camp Christmas Eve
You can’t understand why she’s addicted
But she buys more darn supplies than you’ll believe

She’d been cutting all her paper
all her inkpads were just so
She packed it all inside her caddy
And she left with all her things to earn her dough

When they found her Christmas morning
The brown truck had not come back
There were tire marks on her forehead
And a ups symbol on her back

Grandma got run over by a brown truck
Going to a stamp camp Christmas Eve
You can’t understand why she’s addicted
But she buys more darn supplies than you’ll believe

Now were all so proud of Grandpa
He’s got all her things to sell
Little beads and all her punches
Some cutting thing and some stamp says wishing well

All the boxes still come to Grandma
filled with tons of her cardstock
If UPS wont stop those orders
We’ll be forced to make those cards around the clock

Grandma got run over by a brown truck
Going to a stamp camp Christmas Eve
You can’t understand why she’s addicted
But she buys more darn supplies than you’ll believe

Now the glitter is on the table
Right beside her big RED hat
I bet she really really needs them
Cause she cant get them where she’s at

I’ve called all her friends and downline
Better watch out for that man
They should never give a license
To a guy who never stamps and drives a van

Grandma got run over by a brown truck
Going to a stamp camp Christmas Eve
You can’t understand why she’s addicted
But she buys more darn supplies than you’ll believe

Have a very HAPPY STAMPING DAY! Josee
