Tag It Christmas card; last 2 letters of Spooky banner

 

Santa looks like he wants to give you a hug, doesn't he? I love the cute little guy in the Tag It stamp set. I used Cherry Cobbler and Baked Brown Sugar markers to ink up the stamp. This is design 9 from my last 20-card class.

 

For this Baked Brown Sugar card, I used 3" x 4" pieces of Season of Style designer paper with a scallop ribbon border-punched solid piece of card stock. One punch from the Designer Label cut in half makes the layer behind Santa, then a couple of rhinestones were added for bling.

Turn the designer paper over and you get this fun design. Stampers had an option to do two of one color or one of each, 'cause that's the way I roll.

Funny I still have one more card design to post tomorrow, because I spent a couple of hours today prepping for a 10-card Christmas class tomorrow morning! It's been a busy month.

Today's the last day to order online to be entered into tomorrow's drawing for the hostess goodies! You may order any Stampin' Up! products thru my Online Store at http://therubberroom.stampinup.net. The hostess code is AKS76R6P.

 

Here are the last two letters of my SPOOKY banner! I'm excited for my banner class this Saturday at 11 a.m. Class is FULL! Have a wonderful day.

Are you on Santa's List? How about my Spooky list?

 

"Hope you're nice." I laughed the first time I read this sentiment on one of the stamps in the Santa's List set, available in the Holiday Catalog (item 131811 clear $12.95; 131808 wood $15.95). This was one of the 10 designs at my 20-card Christmas class. I stamped those words on my envelopes. I'd love to see my friends' faces when they read that first! lol

 

 

Bonjour mes amis! I'm thrilled to find so many of you from France are visiting my blog. Merci! For this card, I started with a Crumb Cake base and added a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Very Vanilla on top, with Santa stamped in Real Red ink. For the banners, I used two different designer paper packs - Venetian Romance (blue), and Epic Day This and That (green). I CASE'd this card from Mindy Backes.

Color Me Christmas thinlit card; Spooky banner class

 

There's nothing like sparkle and shine on a Christmas tree! I added punched circles of silver glimmer paper to this Color Me Christmas tree. This was one of my 10 card designs for a 20-card class Saturday.

 

Here's the finished card. I used Pool Party Core'dinations card stock and first used my magnetic platform (item 130658, $39.95) with the Circle Thinlit (item 133480, $32.95 - love it!), then used my regular platform with the Stylish Stripes folder (item 132174, $7.95), and sanded it. I stamped the Tags 4 You saying in Pool Party ink and punched it with the Label Bracket Punch (item 132153, $15.95). Most of these products may be found in the Holiday Catalog.

Lovely as a Tree Christmas card; Halloween banner class

 

Give old stamps new life with fresh colors and designer papers. I did for my 20-card class Saturday. One of the 10 card designs featured this Lovely as a Tree stamp in Island Indigo and Smoky Slate.

 

Winter Frost Specialty Designer Paper is beautiful! I used a 2" x 5-1/2" strip behind the tree (die-cut with an Apothecary framelit) on the Smoky Slate card front, then added a strip of Smoky Slate for the sentiment, which is from the Warmth & Wonder hostess set. Sparkle and shine is courtesy of the silver 1/8" ribbon (item 132137, $4.95).
