Hello! On Saturday, I said I would be back with some Halloween cards to share, and I promise I will get to that this week. But, first, I thought I would share the cards I will be teaching in a couple of weeks at The Crafty Scapper. She got in some new products from Hero Arts including some stamp and die sets, and stamps with a matching embossing folder. You can see the new product on the Hero Arts site here. (when the page comes up, scroll down to where they show all the sets.) I loved a couple of the stamp & emboss sets that were for Christmas. And even though, she did not order the Christmas sets in the stamp and die sets, I used one of the sets called Frames with Sprigs and created Christmas cards anyway. Yes, I know what you are thinking ... Christmas? But, you have to remember, if I am teaching only one class a month, I only have October and November to give some good Christmas card ideas. December is almost too late for cards. And, I have something else in mind for my December class ... tags, which I think will be a fun idea. But, let's get back to today's cards first! Here are my cards. Enjoy!
The first card reflects more of my typical type card, but I did use the stamp and emboss combo on the holly background, as well as using the dies with pattern papers. The second card, also uses the stamp and emboss combo. I think if you click on it, you will be able to see the stamped and embossed paper. On this one, I also used the stamp and die cut set. But, because the die cut set I am using is not actually a Christmas stamp, I punched out the snowflakes to cover the little flower on the stamp. I also did a little "covering" in the third card with the trees! By the way, they call the second card a Tent Topper card. And the third card has a very unique opening, as only the left side of the card opens. I love learning and teaching different types of cards .. so fun! I hope you enjoyed my share and if you are interested in coming to the class, just call The Crafty Scrapper to sign up. Here are the details:
