More Christmas Cards!

More Christmas cards, finally! Where do the days go? This card is made with the Season of Joy stamp set from the Holiday Mini Catalog, using Purely Pomegranate and Wild Wasabi. It is CASE'd, of course! I saw it originally at my upline's meeting and fell in love with it! I think Purely Pomegranate is my new favorite color!

I always like to do a snowflake card. This uses the Snowfall stamp set, plus 2 of the new "In Color" colors, Soft Sky and Blue Bayou. What's really fun about it is the small snowflake in the middle is made by punching it out with the Snow Blossom punch, and then there is a little bling in th middle - an Ice Rhinestone brad. Those brads are awesome, and the colors are so pretty!

Now this card still needs to grow on me. I'm not too sure about this stamp, maybe it's a little too busy for my taste! It was very easy, though, and for my class I wanted to show all sorts of styles, as well as cards that were quick. This one fit the bill! We used a custom made Spectrum pad (Green Galore, Glorious Green, Handsome Hunter, Bravo Burgundy, and Real Red). Did you know you could do that? Stampin' Up! sells empty Spectrum pads, so you can create any color combo that you'd like. One tip before actually inking up the pad is to test the color line-up with markers to see if you like it. Just draw the colors in line, as if they were on the pad, and that should give you an idea of how they'll look when inked!

Okay, one last card for today! This is on my list of favorites! As you can probably tell, I really like using punches, and this card gives you the opportunity to use 3 of them! The Scallop Circle, the 1 1/4" circle, and the 3/4" circle. The stamp set used is Punch Pals, so with a name like that, you know that it was designed specifically to be used with the punches. I thought that was so much fun I decided to give a free card class to anyone who purchases the Punch Pals set from me before November 14! (Page 43, #109489, $31.95) In the class you will make 5 different cards using your very own set. I will be holding the class on Wednesday, November 28 at 1:00 pm and 7:30 pm.
