Delightful Decorations Christmas card using the Movers and Shapers Holiday Windows



 This will be the third project at this months stamp camp, but we will be stamping the ornaments with craft ink and embossing them. It is a fun card using the Movers and Shapers die and the Holiday Windows Set that coordinates with our ornament stamps and punch. The Movers and Shapers cuts just slightly larger than the punch, so when my ornaments are popped up on the inside of the card, they can come through the cuts in the front of the card and still be popped. Using this die makes cards that are creative, fun, fast and easy cards. You could make this card in multiples and not use up all your shopping time. It is time to start making your Christmas cards so contact me today or click on the shop now button to order your supplies.

Perfect Punches Joy Christmas Card
Don't you just love the Textured Impressions embossing folders? They can take a simple card from boring to WOW, with very little effort. That is why I especially love to use them when I am making multibles of the same card. this is a very fast card (and could be even faster, if I had note done the dots inbetween the sentiment and red scallop in green). Anyway, this is the fifth and finale card for the Christmas Card stamp camp this month. You will be amazed how easy and fast this card really goes together. The shimmer paint on the red embossed panel really adds extra wow to the card. I love our White organza ribbon, but my favorite is our 1/8" taffeta and on this card I used both. (I am doing a happy dance right now, wish you were here!) Did you notice the large green scallop, Yes, we now have a 2 3/8" scallop circle punch to go along with our 1 3/4" scallop circle. (happy dancing, again!). If you haven't see the latest catalog, you need to click on my shop now button and go to pages 200 - 203 (of the Idea Book and Catalog) and check out our fabulous line of punches. You might want to check out the Holiday mini catalog. Many of the items used for this months stamp camp came from that catalog. If you find that there is just too many thinks you want, no worries! Just jump over to the promotions page and check out our Free craft tote promotion, but hurry that promotion ends tomorrow, or contact me and we will set up a workshop with you and your friends, so you can earn your wish list. My last two hostesses earned 3 Hostess stamp sets and $60.00 of their choice of merchandise from our catalogs. It is so easy, and I will help you, so contact me today.

A Cute Christmas Snowman with bleaching technique
This card (minus the sentiment and with the snowman stamped on white card stock) was one of my Regional swaps. They made this card on stage (minus the Shimmer paint, and I don't remember if they had a sentiment on it or not) The main different between my swap and this (and the demonstrated) card is that the snowman is stamped with StazOn ink on Baja Blue card stock. The the snowman and snow mounds are colored using the Aqua painter with bleach instead of water inside. The bleach removes the color from the paper. I bleached the snowman's hat and scarf also, and then colored with my Stampin' Write markers.
You cannot tell on my scan, but I did spray Frost White Shimmer paint (mixed with alcohol in a spritz bottle) all over the White panel after embossing, but prior to adding sentiment or snowman.

I just thought of another idea, I will try it later and post the results.
