I love time with my stamping friends! I am looking forward to putting some 'Spring' in our step with the next few classes, with the help of the New Occasions catalogue! 😉 Here's a little peek at what I unpacked so far from my pre-order of items from the new catalogue:

I thought I would share the cards we made in this past class, in case you still need some card ideas:

Stampin’ Gals Gone Wild Wednesday- Christmas Cracker

Posted on December 9, 2014November 20, 2015 by Josee

Hey everyone!

Thanks for stopping by the blog today 🙂 Can you believe it's only 15 days till Christmas….are you ready yet?

We have most of our shopping done, but, still have to go get some last minute gifts and a tree. I hope you are more organized than I am…hee, hee.

It still feels like I'll never be done. Oh well, somehow, we managed to pull it together each year…so I should just have faith, right?!

Ready to get on to this week's project…

I'm sure some of you can appreciate, that sometimes, big things come in small packages 😉 Sometimes though it's nice to dress up those small gifts and make them a bit more special on the outside too! I thought a Christmas Cracker packaging would make any small gift extra special! You can add in some jewelry wrapped in tissue paper, some chocolates or candy in cellophane, some crayons for the kids or any other little item you want to make a special present. They are easy enough to make too, to dress up your holiday table with little gifts at each place setting!

Let me share the video with you:

Silver Snowflakes

Posted on December 5, 2014December 4, 2014 by Josee

Good Morning! Happy, Happy Friday!

Oh, Friday, how I love thee 🙂 Especially when it means great shopping deals!! Make sure you check out the Year End Clearance Sale here! Only While Quantities Last! So get them while you can!

I've got a gorgeous card to share today! I hope you like it! And, it really is much simpler to make than it looks thanks to the Big Shot and the Snowflake Card Thinlet!

Doesn't that vellum look gorgeous?!! The silver foil is an easy way to add so much impact to a card!

You can download the project sheet here: Silver Snowflakes Project Sheet

Measurements:

· Whisper White Base – 5 ½” x 11”

· Whisper White Scrap – 1” x 3”

· Silver Fancy Foil Designer Vellum – 2” x 5 ¼”

· Silver Foil Sheets – 2 ¼” x 2 ¼”, 1” x 1 ½”, 1” x 1”

Instructions:

1. Using the Big Shot, cut the Whisper White card base out with the Snowflake Card Thinlet.

2. Stamp the large snowflake from the Letterpress set on to both sides of the cut out snowflake shape with Smoky Slate ink pad.

3. Using the Big Shot, cut the Silver Foil Sheets with “Joy”, the large snowflake, and the small snowflake. Add a piece of wax paper between your framelit and the card stock so that the image releases from the die.

4. Using the Big Shot, cut the Whisper White 1” x 3” piece with the banner framelit.

5. Stamp the word “Christmas” from Endless Wishes on the cut out banner with Smoky Slate ink.

6. Carefully place some SNAIL adhesive on the back of each polka dot on the Vellum piece, attach it to the card.

7. Use the 2-Way Glue Pen to attach the word “Joy” and the large and small snowflakes. The cut out snowflakes go on top of the stamped snowflake – the large on the front, the small on the back.

8. Attach the “Christmas” banner to the front of the card with a dimensional.

9. Tie a knot in a small piece of the 1/8” Silver Ribbon – attach to the banner with a glue dot.

10. Attach a large Rhinestone to the center of the silver snowflake on the front of the card, and a small Rhinestone on top of the dot on the “i” in Christmas.

11. Write you greeting on the back of the card.
