July Christmas Cards Class - Card number 1

Here is the first card we made at my July Christmas Cards class.  I love the natural look of it. 

Here's a side view so you can see the dimension on the card.  Tips and tricks are below.

Tips and Tricks- 
1) This card is a tent fold and opens from the bottom.  The base is Crumb Cake.
2) The white layer is 5 1/4" by 4" and is run through the Big Shot with the Softly Falling embossing folder. 
3) Twine is tied around this layer before adhering to base.   Also stamp "Merry Christmas" from the "Snow Place" set with Cucumber Crush.
4) Adhere this layer to card base with snail - raised embossing to the front, and the heavier snow to the top.
5) the Snowflakes are stamped tone on tone (Crumb Cake on Crumb Cake) using the snowflakes from "Snow Place"  Several pieces of twine are tied through the top of tag and trimmed.
6) the Tree is cut from Cucumber Crush using the Perfect Pines framelits.  The left side of the tree is adhered to the right side of the tag and this entire unit is popped up on dimensionals.
7) Cut a star out of the Gold Foil sheet using the Perfect Pines framelits.  Adhere to top of tree with a glue dot.
8) be sure to stamp front of envelope as shown!

The Last of my Birthday wishes....

So - I think this is it.  Sharing my last four handmade Birthday cards that I received.  Feeling so blessed!  This first card is from my downline, Michelle.  We've never met - but she has my style down to a tea - yellow, polka dots, sun rays - I'm in LOVE!!

This next card is from my downline, Shawna.  I love this color combo, and don't think I would have ever thought to use it. Gray and coral - so elegant - and tropical!  Loving it!

This next card is from my downline, Vicki D.  What a pretty summer feeling card - with all the beautiful hand colored flowers.  Makes me want to pick a bouquet!

And last, but not least - this beautiful birthday card from my downline, Virginia.  She cut out the florishy oval with the BigShot - stamped it in collage style, then put it back on.  Very clever.  Thank you all so very much for adding this creative beauty, and special wishes to my birthday this year.

They all meant the world to me, and encouraged me even more to get out there and send those cards to people - share the SMILES!!!  ~Maureen

A Little More Birthday...

So - the cards just keep coming - and the celebrating just keeps happening - best birthday ever!!!  This card is from my newest recruit, Kelea.  It's been great getting to know here, and try to answer her questions - thanks for the "party" card and the coffee girl!!!

Next card is from my downline, Paula.  I love just about everything she makes.  Her style is much like my own.  This card is no exception - so pretty - soft colors, flowers, wood, wreaths - what more could you ask for :)

The next is from my downline, Sarah.  This is also so my style - I love clean lines - and this has that.  All the beautiful swatches of color and patterns - just makes me smile.  The hexagons are gone - but the card is beautiful.

Thanks Ladies - but stop back - there are more!!!!  ~Maureen

And the Birthday Celebration continues -

Shannon West at Stampin' Up! headquarters started a "imbringingbirthdaysback" campaign this year encouraging each of us to mail a beautiful handmade card to our friends and family rather than just leave a facebook message - which has become so easy.  As you know I took her to heart and have sent a birthday card to anyone requesting one.  That offer continues - if you'd like to receive a card - just send me your name, address and date of birth MM/DD to my email on the sidebar - and I'll be sure to send you one.  Judging from the many beautiful cards I received this year- my friends and downline have also adopted the "imbringingbirthdaysback" campaign.  So the birthday cards continue - and make me smile!!  This first card is from my downline, Lisa H.  It uses everyone's favorite- Swirly Birds.  I absolutely love the colors and that POP of black - such a fun card!!!

My next card is from my downline and friend, Meg.  I this it is a birthday card that just elicits happy wishes - balloons, bows, ruffles and ice cream (plus a little bling).  This card is so feminine - I'm gonna have to case it for my grand-daughters I think :)

And today's third beautiful card is from my downline, Nelly.  This is so my kind of card - cute and clean.  The colors are amazing and happy, and her flower has so much dimension.  Happy card for happy wishes - what could be better. 

But - I'm not done - there are more and more and maybe more!!! I hope all of these lovely cards are inspiring you to get your supplies out and start stamping!!  ~Maureen

Three more beautiful cards ...

Today's birthday cards all come from three of my downline.  The first uses some bold, bright patterns of color - and I especially love how the Black circle pops the greeting!  This beauty was made by Jean B.

The second one comes from Jeri - and I love it!  It's from the Watercolor Wishes card kits.  Our card kits make it so easy for you to make a bunch of lovely cards in no time at all - and this is a great example.

My final card today if from Kathy B.  This flower is no longer available - although when it was it was a favorite of mine - and she knows my favorite color is yellow.  We have several current flower in the catalog that could be used to duplicate this look.  So pretty with a wink of glimmer!

I received so many amazing birthday cards this year - and hope you can use them as inspiration - more to come so stop by soon!  ~Maureen
