Color Me Christmas Gift Card


Welcome back to my blog! Today I am featuring the fourth card in the series of five cards I made for my recent Christmas Stamp A Stack.  When I designed this Stamp A Stack I purposely used minimal supplies, such as one main stamp set, one sentiment stamp set, one package of Designer Series Paper to make this easy for someone to make multiply cards with.

Here's the list of what I used on this card:
Crumb Cake card base 8-1/2 x 5-1/2
Season of Style DSP 1-1/2 x 5-1/2
Cherry Cobbler cardstock 2-1/2 x 2-1/4
Image from Color Me Christmas stamped in Early Expresso in on
Whisper White cardstock 2-1/4 x 2
Colored with Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive markers
Sentiment from Christmas Messages, stamped in Cherry Cobbler

Please come back tomorrow for the final of this five card set!

Thanks,
Charlotte

Festive Flurries Technique Card


A few months ago I made this card for my Stamp Club with a technique I "dreamed up" that I call Framelit Reverse Cut Technique.  I shot a video and put it up on Youtube. It is very easy and makes quite a striking card.

I hope you have a chance to go on Youtube and try out this technique yourself.

Love You More Sweetheart Treat Bag Card Set


Have you seen the newly released Valentine's Day items Stampin'Up! has available now for you to purchase?  I ordered mine and used them at my stamp club last night.  These little Sweetheart Treat bags are so stinkin' adorable! I scored mine at 3 1/2 inches to make a flap for the 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 envelope for my little 3 x 3 card we made using the new Love You More stamp set.  I colored the birdie in with Pool Party, Calypso Coral and Real Red markers.

Hope you are keeping warm in this chilly weather.
