Tomorrow I am re-teaching my August Christmas Card Class. After I taught the class this summer, I had several people who'd missed it express interest taking the class. I decided to offer it again this November, and tomorrow's the day.
I know that when I taught the class this summer I started out posting the samples one by one, but I believe I had one or two left to post so I thought I'd post one today.
This card uses the stamp set The More the Merrier, which is a set that I love because it has stamps for several holidays in it, and because it was free as a hostess set. When it's free, I love it that much more! I also used the snowflake from Holiday Blitz, another well-used stamp set on my shelf.
The card stock colors are Brocade Blue and Not Quite Navy, with Whisper White. I also used Brocade Blue Classic Ink.
As you can see, I used Dazzling Diamonds glitter, found on page 180 of the catalog. I applied it with a Two Way Glue Pen (page 192.) I love the sparkle and shine that it gives the card. I colored the little snowmen with my Many Marvelous Markers. It was a very simple card to make. I added a white grosgrain ribbon knot and it was done.
Here was my inspiration for the layout of this card:
It came out small here, but it's a card I found on Stamper's Showcase on the Stampin' Up! Demonstrator website. You can see that I kept the same layout but changed the set and colors, but it's virtually the same card. It just takes an ounce of inspiration and you can be off and running!
Looking forward to tomorrow's class!
