Oct25 Sunday Stamper Cards

Happy Sunday! Today my Sunday Stampers will be meeting and I’m sharing with you the cards they will be making.

This month all the projects are Christmas themed and the first cards we’ve made for the holiday this year.

Featured products:

Modern Christmas Specialty 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper (online exclusive)
Ornamental Christmas Bundle (online exclusive)
Large Gold Hoops (online exclusive)
Black & White and Gold Twine (online exclusive)
Traditions of Christmas Specialty 12” x 12” Designer Series Paper
Jolly Holly Hybrid Embossing Folder

First up is a card based on one in the Stampin’ Up! store from the Modern Christmas Suite of Product. Gold Hoop is adhered with Mini Glue Dots in case you are wondering how I did it. The new WOW! Embossing Powder is great and after a while it does not hurt to get new powder.

Next, a fun gift card holder. I’ll be making a bunch of these this holiday season!

Last is a simple card that once the pieces are cut, you simply put together. This layout is great if you are stuck and need a quick card. With one sheet of 12″ x 12″ designer series paper, you get nine cards

WCMD Template Cards

Today I’m on my way to Clearwater Beach Florida for a girl’s trip long weekend.

Thought I would share some cards made last weekend using sketches Stampin’ Up! provided for those attending the World Card Making Day event.

First sample card features the Greetings for You Mix & Match Ephemera (adhesive-backed) and the Modern

Second card with the template features products from the Beautiful Gallery Suite collection of products. For this card, I embossed the piece with the designer paper before adhering to the card base.

For the next template idea, Everyday Arches Dies along with Woven Textured Designer Series Paper used for this card.

Final card today proves Christmas paper, cards and envelopes are not just for Christmas!
