January Christmas Cards - Part II

So the other day I shared the 1st design from my January Christmas card class - and today I am sharing the 2nd design.  I guess with the 24 inches of snow we got last week - I had snow on my mind lol!  As I mentioned I do Christmas card classes every month - January through November - and they are a hit!  Takes so much of the stress out of making your cards by doing a few each month.  Our 2nd design used the Snowflake Wishes set from the Fall 2020 catalog carry-over list.

Here are a couple of the cards - we used retired DSP from the Holiday catalog - but so little of it shows - that you could just as easily stamp that layer or leave it blue.

The upper layers are popped up on Dimensionals to give it some fun dimension - and I added a bunch of gems for the snowflake sparkle!  Here's another angle.  I love the Rectangle Postage Stamp punch as it gives such character to your cards. 

The image above shows how I stamped the envelopes and below is the inside of the card - just love this snow set - and the great sentiments in it.

CARD RECIPE - base is A2 Basic White 8 1/2 x 5 1/2" score along the long side at 4 1/4" - this is a horizontal card, stamped randomly with Misty Moonlight Snowflakes. Layer of Misty Moonlight 5 1/2" x 1 3/4"; layer of DSP layer is 5 1/2" x 1 1/2".  On top of that popped up on dimensionals - layer of Misty Moonlight 4 3/4" x 2 1/4", 3 pieces of Basic White stamped with Seaside Spray snowflakes and punched with the Rectangle Postage Stamp punch - spaced evenly on Misty Moonlight layer.  Piece of Seaside Spray 3 1/4" x 1" stamped with sentiment using Misty Moonlight Ink.  Basic White Envelope.  Rhinestone gems.  Seal adhesive and dimensionals.

Christmas in July - and Every Other Month!

So, many of you know that I do a Christmas card class every month of the year - January through November.  At each class you make four cards (2 each of 2 designs), so that if you attend them all - you will have 44 cards to send out to friends and family.  You can also purchase extra kits if you want more; or purchase completed cards from me.  This class is always popular and many times I hold an encore class - so today I thought I would share a few of the designs we've made this year to get you inspired!  To see all my upcoming classes - click on the link at the top of this blog.

 

Hope you enjoyed these ideas and are inspired to get busy on your own Christmas cards - before you know it - the holidays will be here.  See you soon! ~Maureen

Quick and Clean Christmas Cards

I love these Christmas cards - so clean, and pure - with just a hint of sparkle.  We made these last November at my month Christmas cards class.  The back layer has the large snowflake embossed.

Then we used the Holiday DSP and some of the gold ribbon and a circle from our Champagne foil paper.  Since many of the products are not currently available - I will not have links at the end.

But they are just so pretty- I made up a ton of them for my own stash.  Hope you like them too and can glean some inspiration!

Christmas in February

Many of you know that I hold a Christmas card class once a month January - November.  If you attend each session - you'll have a total of 44 cards ready to go :)   It is always a really popular class.  This month I made a super sparkly card - and the ladies LOVED it!  It uses the Night in Bethlehem set with the coordinating edgelits - both on the Carry Over list and still available from the Occasions catalog.  The layer of buildings in the back is Basic Gray to look more shadowy.  Then we used our Silver Glimmer paper for the front part of the village; and the star.  Just how beautiful is that!

We lightly sponged the light blue sky with Marina Mist to give it a twilight feel - and Mary, Joseph and the donkey are popped up in front with dimensionals. 

This is one of my favorite Christmas cards I've made, and I came  home and made 10 more for my personal stash.  My next class is on March 20th - so let me know if you'd like to join us.   Each month features two new card designs.  Full details are in my Upcoming Sections Page - link at the top of this page. ~Maureen
