A Red Christmas

As promised here is the second card we made in class, this time I have used the new A la Carte stamp Welcome Christmas, I decided to make this card in the tradional colours of red and white. This is another of my favourite christmas stamps and of course I just love the tradional colours. This is was also my swap for the Stampin Fun day out in August. To get the crinkled look on the Cherry Cobbler piece I sprayed it with water then scrunched it up then opened it up to dry before adding it to the embossed Whisper White with Dimensionals.

A Snow Swirled Christmas

I thought it was time to start some Christmas card classes seeing Christmas isn't that far away, so the first card we made was with a stamp set I love, plus I wanted to make one of the cards a little different so decided to make a Slider Card which I had seen on Mekeesha Byl's blog a while ago.

The inside of the card with the sentiment on just slides out by pulling the ribbon, I have stamped the sentiment at the bottom so that you can still write at the top.

Stamp Set: Snow Swirled, Many Merry Messages

Cardstock: Bashful Blue, Night of Navy, Whisper White

Ink: Bashful Blue, Night Of Navy

Other: Basic Rhinestones, Bashful Blue 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon, Stamp-a-majig,

Tombow Adhesive, slot punch

I will post the second card we made in a couple of days.
