June Christmas Cards I

Today I want to share the first of two Christmas Cards we made at this month's Christmas Card class.  Since there are currently not a log of Christmas sets available - I had to get creative - so I used our new Mosaic Madness set and punch to create ornaments.   Not an original idea - I've seen many samples of cards similar on Pinterest - but this is my creation.

We also used the "Sassy Salutations" set which is on sale this month - but ONLY through tomorrow.  It is such a fun set.  We finished off the ornaments with a linen thread bow and some little gems to give it sparkle.  Sorry the picture was so dark - guess the flash didn't go off.  But hope you get the idea :)  ~Maureen

Goodbye to some old friends....

So, we have two weeks left before the new SU catalog - and believe me I can't wait.  But in the meantime we'll be saying goodbye to a bunch of my old favorites - so over the next couple weeks I'll be sharing cards made with retiring sets.  Today we're saying good bye to "Chock-full of Cheer" pg10 of the current catalog.  This was a card from last month's card class - the verse and ornament are from that set. 

But what I really love about this card is the use of the branch from "Betsy's Blossoms" which by the way is NOT going away :)   Hope you like the card.  See you soon.  ~Maureen

Christmas Card Stamp Camp

Today I'm sharing one of the two cards we made at my last Christmas Card Stamp Camp - Isn't it lovely!!  I especially love the wood grain background.

This card was designed by my daughter Heidi - she and I do many stamp camps together.  You can see more of her work at www.stampinking.blogspot.com.  Stop back soon to see the other card we made.
