Stamping With Sheryl

Last Two Samples for Each Christmas Card Class

Here are the final two samples for each of the choices for the October Christmas Card class. 

Stitched Stockings:

 
On the first card, I went with more traditional Christmas colors.  The stocking is punched from one of the designs of the Frostwood Lodge DSP found in the Holiday Mini.

The second card uses more Silver Glimmer paper to add a little bling.

To view all five cards for the Stitched Stockings option, click here.

The Sounding Joy:

 

On the first card, it's hard to see, but there are score lines so that the Itty Bitty Punches look like ornaments hanging.  I used the new Simply Scored Scoring Tool from the Holiday Mini to make the score lines.  You'll have to trust me that in real life, it looks awesome.

On the second card, I went with "simple is elegant".  A little Silver Glimmer paper really makes this card, especially with a touch of Real Red Satin Ribbon.

To register for the class, go to this link for the PayPal links.  Remember you can sign up for both classes, but you may not have time to assemble all ten cards at class. You will have time to at least stamp.

Things to remember:

• Class dates are Saturday, October 15, 12-3 pm in Plainfield OR Saturday, October 29, 12-3 pm in Hoffman Estates.
• Registration ends Tuesday, October 4 for BOTH classes.
• If you order the Clear Mount option you MUST bring your own clear blocks.  I will not have blocks available at class.
• As with all classes, please bring your own adhesive, scissors and stamp cleaner.
• If you can't attend and would like to purchase a kit, please contact me. 
• You will receive all of your supplies the day of the class.

Hope you can join us.  Thanks for the visit!

More Samples for the Christmas Card Class

I have another example for each choice for my upcoming Christmas Card class.  Remember, with this class, not only do you receive all of the materials to make 5 cards and envelopes, you receive the stamp set as well.  For the Stitched Stockings choice, you also receive the coordinating punch.  For more information, go to this link.

Here's the third sample for the Stitched Stockings choice.

 

Hopefully you can see that I'm trying to create a Christmas fireplace scene.  The Wood Sheets that SU! offers are perfect for creating the fireplace.  You can't see it in my photo, but the "mantle" is actually popped out with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Here's the third example for The Sounding Joy choice.

 

I really like the Quilted Satin Ribbon that's available in the Holiday Mini.  It has a beautiful shine to it.  This is a pretty simple card to make and a Gold Glimmer Brad adds the perfect touch to the bow.

Hope you can join us at the Christmas Card Class.  Registration ends October 4.

October Christmas Card Class--2nd Example

I have a second card for each of the choices from my Christmas Card Class.  If you haven't read about my class, be sure to click here.  Registration will end Tuesday, October 4. 

As you know, one choice for the class is Stitched Stockings and the Stocking Builder Punch.  Here's the 2nd card.

 

I like purples for Christmas--a bit untraditional, but pretty none the less.  I added a little bling to each stocking with Rhinestone Jewels.  The colors are Wisteria Wonder and Elegant Eggplant.

I decided to keep with the same color scheme for card #2 for The Sounding Joy choice.

 

The bling on this card comes from the Silver Glimmer Paper from the Holiday Mini.  Have I told you how much I love this paper?

Elements of Style Stamp Camp Card

Here's the last Stamp Camp card.  My layout if from Paper Pals Art Sketch Challenge for the week. 

 

I took some creative liberty and used a butterfly from Beautiful Wings Embosslit to replace area 4.

 

Can you see the embossed lines?  I scored those with my new toy from the Holiday Mini, Simply Scored Scoring Tool.  I can't wait to show it to my stampers--it's going to make any scoring project MUCH easier!!

Come back tomorrow.  I have one card from each choice for my upcoming Christmas Card Class.  

Thanks for the visit!

Autumn Splendor September Stamp Camp Card

Another Stamp Camp card to share.  Today is the last day to register--click here for the original post and PayPal link.

This card features Autumn Splendor.  Autumn is by far my favorite season.  It's really hard for me not to purchase every single "leaf" stamp set.  So I'm being good and using this oldie and goodie.  The new set from the Holiday Mini, Gently Falling, would work well with this card too.

 

The leaves from Autumn Splendor are stamped and embossed on Shimmery White card stock.  Then I colored them with the AquaPainter and reinkers.

Stitched Stockings Stamp Camp Card

I have another Stamp Camp card to share.  Tomorrow is the last day to register!  Click here for the original post and PayPal link.

I love this new set, Stitched Stockings stamp set from the Holiday Mini.  I believe Jackie Topa was the creative mind to turn it upside down and make it a horse--isn't that creative?  Here's my version.

 

I thought the little hobby horse made a cute baby card, but my campers can make it a birthday card using "wish big" instead of "baby"; both are from Up, Up & Away.

Be sure to check back this evening.  I'll have details and registration links for my Christmas Card classes in October.  To give you a hint:  you'll have two choices for the class.  One choice includes the stamp set, The Sounding Joy.  The other choice includes Stitched Stockings and the coordinating punch.  The price of both classes will include 5 cards with envelopes.  That's all for now--come back this evening for more!

Haunted Forest Stamp Camp Card

Today's card is another one we'll make at September's Stamp Camp.  Remember, registration ends on Monday!  Click here for the original post with a PayPal link.

My card features the "a la carte" stamp, Haunted Forest, which is from the Holiday Mini.  The fold is called a "gate fold"  (at least I think so, lol).  It opens from the middle.  The second photo shows the inside.

 

 

Do you like the Shimmery White card stock for Halloween?  I think it gives the Haunted Forest a cool look.  And I love the Spider Web Embossing Folder.  The inside is stamped with Jack of All Trades, a new set in the IB&C.  You'll find it on page 26.

Hope you can join us at Stamp Camp!

Turtle & Co. September Stamp Camp

September's Stamp Camp will be held on Friday, September 16 at 7pm at my house in Plainfield, Illinois.  Today's card is one of the five cards you'll create.  My card features this year's Ronald McDonald House stamp set, Turtle & Co.  Remember, for every set purchased, Stampin' Up! donates $2 to the Ronald McDonald House Charity--it's a great cause!!

I used two different sizes from the Designer Buttons in Tempting Turquoise.  The medium size button fits the snail perfectly!

My layout comes from the Inkspirations Challenge.

 

And, finally, here's my card.

 
 

Isn't he adorable?
