Susie's 2022 Christmas Stamp-a-Stack Sneak Peek!

 

Do you stamp with me at my monthly classes?

Are you coming to stamp with me this month?

 

Here is a sneak peek!!!

As these are the 5 different cards that everyone will be making 

at my Christmas Stamp-a-Stack classes this month!

Everyone attending will be making 2 of each of the 5 cards for a total of 10 cards!

 

NOTE:  *The church & the Holy Family are both identical card layouts & made with the 'Peace to You' stamp set.  Everything is cut to the exact same size & the only difference is the words!  So if you are coming to class you can make 2 churches or 2 of the Holy Family or one of each!  

I will post more individual photos & details about these cards in the next few days- so check back to see them.

*CLICK HERE to see my blog post of the 2 cards made with the 'Peace to You' stamp set!

Peace to You

WOW!

What an awesome Christmas stamp set this is!

I love it!

It is the #159776- Peace To You= $23.00 pg. 41 Holiday Catalog.

 

Check out these cards........

As these cards are ones that everyone joining me for 

my Christmas Stamp-a-Stack this month will be making.

 

Which card do you like better?

THIS- the church?

OR

THAT- Mary, Joseph & baby Jesus?

 

The cool thing is that both of these 2 cards are made with the 

exact same layout & sizes of card stock pieces! 

The only difference is the size of card stock that the words are stamped onto.

 

So everyone at my Christmas Stamp-a-Stack can make 2 of one of these cards

OR they can make one of each card!

The Starry Sky card stock is just so elegant!

And then adding the embossed snowflakes on the Basic White cardstock 

background & the White Glittered Organdy Ribbon just dressed it up!

 

Note:

These are solid image stamps & the Stamparatus

is awesome at helping to insure getting a good stamped image!

 

Here are the supplies & measurements.

Soft Seedlings

 Check it out........

Here is another baby wipe technique card using the 'Soft Seedlings' stamp set.

What a fun way to make a gorgeous fall card!

 

I added some Rustic Harvest DSP strips

and the colored some rhinestones with my Bronze Stampin' Blend. 

 

You can CLICK HERE to see another baby wipe technique I did!

How did I do the baby wipe technique when stamping the leaves?

• I folded a baby wipe in quarters & put inside a clear case. 
• Then add drops of ink refill onto it. 
• I used Old Olive, Crushed Curry & Cajun Craze. 
• Then press stamp into the baby wipe- using this as your ink pad. 
• Stamp leaves around edges of Basic White card stock. 
• You will have to re-ink your stamp each time you stamp to get the best leaf image.
  

NOTES:

I took this photo about 1/2 hour after I had put the ink refill drops onto the baby wipe. 

They have all ran together above.

BUT when you put them onto the baby wipe originally you'll have dots with spaces into between them.

You'll be able to make several cards out of just one baby wipe.

Since I'll be doing this at a class, I'll have to make NEW baby wipes several times.

As when the colors bleed too much it then starts to look muddy & the colors aren't as true & vibrant!

The inspiration for this card came from a swap that I got from another demonstrator, but it didn't have a name on it for me to give her credit.

 

Here are the supplies & measurements.

stamp set:  'Soft Seedlings'

card stock:

• Mossy Meadow-  5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 4 1/4" & fold in half for card base
  
• Mossy Meadow- 2 1/2 x 5 1/4"- adhere 3 DSP strips to this
  
• Mossy Meadow- 4 x 5 1/4"- for front of card
• Mossy Meadow- 3 1/4 x 3 1/4"- layer behind leaf
  
• Basic White- 3 1/2" strip- die cut stitched square & stamp leaf onto it
  
• Basic White- 1" strip- stamp hello & fussy cut around it
  
• Basic White- 4 x 5 1/4"- for inside of card
  

designer paper:  Rustic Harvest- 3/4" strip (X3) of different patterns

ink pad:  Mossy Meadow

Card Folio

 

I used the Santa Express Memories & More Card Pack

to make these 2 cards, along with the Jingle Jingle Jingle stamp set!

 

CLICK HERE for my blog post & details on how to make the JINGLE card! 

 

CLICK HERE for my blog post & details on how to make the JOLLY card! 

But check out the CUTE Card Folio I made to put them in!

Isn't this such a neat holder for cards.

I have made various kinds of these over the years.

I think it just adds to make your gift special if you can put it into a card keeper!

This Card Folio is actually thick enough you could add about 

3-4 cards/envelopes on each side, depending on how thick your cards are.

These Memories & More cards measure 4 1/4 x 6 1/4"- 

so are a little bigger than our normal standard 4 1/4 x 5 1/2" card.

You could add ribbon to hold your Card Folio shut, but I chose not to add any closure.

Mine just closes & stays shut just like a book does.

 How did I make the Card Folio?

• card stock- 8 1/2 x 11" 
• On long side you score it at 5 1/4 & 5 3/4". 
• On short side you score it at 6 3/4"
• Fold on scored lines
• Make a "V" cut out in the bottom center as shown in the photo below.
• Add Tear & Tape to the bottom outside edges to make the pockets.

Here is a pattern!

And this is what it looks like when folded & the pocket is attached down.

 

NOTE:  

If you are making one of theses Card Folio's for our standard 4 1/4 x 5 1/2" cards- 

you could score the bottom at 6 1/2" instead to make it a little deeper pocket.

Here are the other supplies I used:

stamp set:  'Limited Edition'- #158754= $19.00 Annual Catalog pg. 119

                    This is our Angel Policy stamp set with (C) Stampin' Up!

card stock:  

• Poppy Parade- 8 1/2 x 11"- score as shown above
• Kraft- 4 1/4 x 6"
• Kraft- 1 1/2 x 4 1/4"
• Basic White- 2 1/2" strip- punch out using Essential Tag Punch
  

designer paper:  Santa Express DSP- 4 x 5 3/4"

ink:  Crumb Cake

other:  Essential Tag Punch; dimensionals; Tear & Tape; Simply Scored Scoring Tool; Glue Dots; Paper Snips

clearance rack:  Sheer Real Red Ribbon

I hope you have a WONDERFUL Wednesday!
