Shepherd's Care Stampin Up Christmas Card Video Vertical Easel and Layer...


It is difficult to see, but I shadow stamped the little town of Bethlehem for more texture and highlight on the first card that is an Inverted or Layered Gatefold. The shepherd stamped on the 5-1/4 X 4 inch cardstock is merely glued to one side and then tucked under the right side of the gatefold.



I think this creates a cool look and allows us to stamp the image on Basic White or Very Vanilla while leaving the star and Bethlehem on dark cardstock.

This card is the Vertical Easel style (from Splitcoast Stampers) and is so easy.  I really like the look and the Jesus and or Shepherd with this rich and lovely Regal Winter 12X12 designer series paper. The Faith Hope and Love sentiments that hold the card "open" are from the Unbounded Love Bundle on page 55 of the annual catalog.


While this card could certainly be a Christmas Card, I think it makes a wonderful sympathy card that can be sent immediately or in the months following a loss.




 I used the Perennial Postage Dies on this card. Along with showing them on the inside, it also gives a peek at the Circles used to hold the main image piece on the front of the card.

Humble Home Punch Bundle Christmas Stampin Up Card Video


This little gingerbread cottage is sugary sweet and Christmas-y!



I love adding the lights from the Reindeer Fun Dies. It peps up the Christmas factor for sure.

For the first two cards, I stamped on Pecan Pie Cardstock, but this card was stamped on Basic White and colored with Blends.

This card was designed to be quick and easy!


 I love the look of a snowy scene with added snowflakes-such fun! I just added trees from the Loveliest Trees dies for the cards with the Smokey Slate base below.



It certainly doesn't have to be winter only. I enjoy this fun little spring card with a flowering tree as well.

Christmas Stamp A Stack Thursday, October 17

This is a fall break day for me, so times will begin at 1:00 p.m. and continue throughout the day if needed. You must say what time you'd like, so that I will definitely not run an errand or anything. I plan to serve either beef cabbage roll soup or beef taco soup...not quite set on that yet.

Stamp A Stack or Stamp A Stack TO GO
16 cards for $32
You must make at least 4 of each card you'd like to make. You may add more groups of 4 for $7.50 each after the original cards at 16 for $32. Choices of Cards are First Come First Served-It is possible that I could run out of papers or ribbon or embellishments though I have tried to be fully stocked.
  • Prepayment is required for Stamp A Stack if you need your class mailed (of course) or if you are a new-ish customer. Everyone please let me know which cards or projects you'd like to make As Soon As Possible, and the deadline is October 13th.
  • Most cards will require the purchase of a stamp set or the use of a similar stamp set for those who are getting a TO GO class. I am not to stamp images or sentiments but can do die cutting.
  • TO GO classes will be mailed on October 22nd.
  • Remember to bring your general purpose adhesive. If you do not have general purpose adhesive with you for Stamp A Stack, it is an additional $9 charge, and you will leave with a Stampin Seal which may or may not be brand new.
  • I have listed the work required for each card after the name I gave each card.
  • Stamp A Stack Class is 16 cards for $32.00 without envelopes.  
  • Unlike monthly class, these cards will have a white inside layer.
  • I can provide envelopes, and the cost would be $5.00 for 16 Stampin Up! envelopes.
  • Please provide your choices by using the name I’ve listed above the card and the number of each you’d like to make. 
I require prepayment for my Stamp A Stacks because it requires me to cut the cardstock specifically for the cards you are making. Payment is due no later than the 13th. You may get your payment to me by mail, or drop it off at my house (between the storm door and door).  Paypal is an option only for those who need their kit mailed, and that price is $36 for shipping.
 
Please contact me by the 13th or before to announce your choices.
 
Please bring your own general purpose adhesive as I’ve asked my customers to do for all classes.  You may use double-sided tape, glue stick or tape runner-your choice.  I provide liquid glue, glue dots and dimensionals (pop dots) as needed for all classes.

POOL PARTY SNOW TREE
Local Stamp A Stack participants will be given silver and Pretty in Pink glimmer paper sheets and will die cut their own embellishments for this card since they are so tiny and fussy. They will stamp and die cut their "merry CHRISTMAS" sentiment, and they will assemble the card. If I run out of the dots shown, it may be necessary to color Basic Rhinestone jewels with the Dark Pool Party Blend.


Peacock Painted Trees
This card requires 3 colors of blending brushes, stamping the sentiment and application of Wild Wheat to the center of the snowflakes and Wink of Stella to each flake. This card is a CASE of a card by Vicki Boucher that was in Navy.

Polar Bear Friends
This card requires stamping and die cutting the bear, tree and sentiment, tearing the snow layer and coloring the bear with Light Petal Pink and his wreath with Real Red and Granny Apple/Shaded Spruce Blends

Wheat Shepherd's Care
This card requires stamping and coloring with either a blender pen or water. This Shepherd is stamped in Crumb Cake and colored with Wild Wheat and Cherry Cobbler. This is a CASE of a swap I received from Judy Garza.


Humble Home Gingerbread
This card requires punching your house after stamping and trimming the house in white craft ink and a Red Blend. I just layered the red square, but it is cut so that you can turn the Garden Green Square on the Diagonal and have some white showing if you'd rather. The patterned paper (from the Take a Bow paper pack) will vary but will all match the Real Red and Garden Green.

Pool Party Snowman Globe
For this card, a mask will be used for coloring the globe on the inside of the card. I took the photo in a strange way to show you that it is on the inside. When it was flat, it just looked like it was stuck on top of the card. You can change it for the house or the penguin if you are willing to wait for an available block in case others need the snowman. The snowman, hat and trees are die cut.

Reindeer in the Grove (can also be made without the Reindeer of course as it originally appeared on my blog) This card requires stamping the evergreens several times and using a Blending brush to create the sky using a mask for the snowy edged horizon.


Mice Singing Friends
There is only one mice stamp. I made Post It Masks for them, and used masking tape to cover the tails when stamping the middle and left side mice. I used a Blending Brush and Pool Party around the group of them and added Light Smoky Slate and Pretty in Pink to the Mice just on the edges. The jingle bell is colored in Wild Wheat and has Wink of Stella for shine. There are three of them, but I don't think they are blind--they are just closing their eyes because they are really into their singing. giggle

Navy Shining Star Shepherd
This card uses a Navy Blue Cardbase with a Smoky Slate 4 X 5-1/4 inch layer. The Smoky slate layer is masked with post its after stamping, and Blending Brushes are used to layer on Night of Navy Ink for the sky the star isn't illuminating. Wink of Stella makes the stars, and light is cast on the sheep and Shepherd using White Craft Ink and a blender pen. This card is a CASE of Beth Rush.

Warms My Heart Stampin Up Stamp Set Christmas Autumn Fall Thanksgiving C...


I think this one is my favorite because I love the sentiment and her happy attitude.


This is a fun one to color with multicolored apples. I probably shouldn't have made her shirt match her hat exactly.

Kind of an unusual proportion on this, but...

I really like using holly print for the background paper since it says, "Deck the halls with wreaths AND holly."
