Christmas Year Round
Many of you who follow me know that I do Christmas Card classes year round with my customers. These classes run January through November and are always well attended. So through out the year I will share some samples with you to keep you inspired and help you get ahead of the game if you'd like to CASE them. My first is this beautiful card we made with the Snow Front set from the Holiday catalog - that is now still available for purchase on the carry over list. I think it is just such a lovely set.
The set allows you to build your own scene, and depending on the colors you use - it can be anytime of the year. We did a winter scene for our card here - by adding bare trees, cardinals - and some snowflake sequins.
The background layer was made using the Woodland embossing folder from the Annual catalog - an all-time favorite. The Seasons Greetings is from the discontinued So Many Stars set, but any holiday sentiment would be appropriate.
Hope you enjoyed this card - watch for more Christmas ideas on a regular basis. See you all soon! ~Maureen

Adorable Christmas Card
Again - can't believe I did not get this posted! I do Christmas card classes all year long - my next is May 10 in the afternoon - contact me if you are interested in attending. This was a card from a fall class though - just found it as I was going through all my pictures for blogging. I love it - with that cute peek-a-boo window and the reindeer peeking through! This set is retiring this month - so be sure to order it if you love as much as I do!
Here's what it looks like from the inside! The little bow is from the Santa's Sleigh set that is also retiring.
Also note, the cute little border around the sentiment. That is made by cutting the punched Cherry Cobbler piece in half horizontally, and adhering to the punched sentiment behind on the top and bottom. Really makes it pop! Note the DSP, Be Merry, is also retiring!
Stop back soon! ~Maureen

Dove Card - Peace for the Holidays!
Here is one of two card designs we made at a recent Christmas card class. I do Christmas card classes each month, so that by the time December comes around - we have a nice stack of cards to send to family and friends.
This beautiful card actually uses two products that were not intended for Christmas -
Customers had the choice of using Bermuda Bay or Tempting Turquoise for their doves - and i think they both look beautiful.
Once you add a little bling and some shimmery ribbon - you have a lovely card ready for the Holidays! ~Maureen

A couple Christmas Trees....
Found these pictures in my blog folder - and I don't think I ever posted them - so I think today is the day! I made these for two different classes - but both the same framelits and DSP. Simple, quick cards for the holidays - hope you like them!

| Card two - similar but with some frayed gold thread. |

| Close up so you can see we used the negative over DSP for this card. |
See you soon!!! ~Maureen

Christmas Wishes from Across the Miles
Tomorrow is Christmas - and this is my first Christmas where I'm not celebrating with my one of my daughter's and her kids :( The other will be here on Monday with her kids - so that will be wonderful - but my heart is still just a little bit heavy. So this year - I am really sending Christmas love and wishes across the miles. It makes me realize how very fortunate I have been to have my family near me for so many years - praying that will be what the future holds again. Not necessarily right next door - but not quite so far away :)
So today's card is one that we made in a recent cards class - and it had such an appropriate verse - I had to share it today. It uses that amazing new Dynamic Embossing folder - "Cable Knit"! Can you see just how deep that embossing is? Beautiful!!!!
The set I used was "Holly Berry Happiness" - I have always loved holly - and I used to draw it all the time. So when this beautiful set was in the Holiday Catalog - I had to have it. All of the little leaves are stamped and punched out individually and then layered to may the little spray of holly on the right.
The Burlap ribbon from the annual catalog adds just the right layering between the Cherry Cobbler and the white cable knit. Then the little pearls add the softness of some little berries on the holly. I really love how this card turned out. Makes me feel warm and cozy! Let me know if you liked it too! ~Maureen

December Christmas Card Class - Card 1
So December's class was my last of the year - we'll start making Christmas cards again in January for 2017! I really love this design..I saw a few similar on Pinterest -but gave it my own twist. So you can see the deer in the first card facing the left. This was made by cutting on the back white side of the foil paper - which was recommended - but it seems to give a little ridge around the edge.
So I decided to try cutting on the foil side (so deer faces the right) and it give it a much smoother rounded edge. I like it better - and I had no trouble with it. Unfortunately, all of the ones in class were made like above - but they are still lovely.
I just love the look of the copper foil on the deer - so elegant and a little understated. Really nice card if you are sending one off to a person of the male persuasion - as it's a bit rustic looking to me. And I LOVE washi tape - fun, fast and looks terrific!
Here are the cards side by side - as I said - they both look great -and I kind of like that the deer can face either way.
See you all soon!! ~Maureen
