Tags til Christmas

There has been a revival of this design of card called Triple Time Stamping.  This idea comes from Marelle Taylor's blog and also my sister's blog.

I decided to give it a Christmas theme using the ornament stamp from the Tags til Christmas stamp set.  The flourish is from the retired stamp set called Season of Joy.  I have used Cherry Cobbler, Certainly Celery and Whisper White as the colour theme with some Baker's twine and a button to finish it off.

I am happy with this attempt at this style of card but will keep working with it to see what other combinations I can come up with.

September Stamp-A-Stack

September sees the start of my Christmas Stamp-A-Stack (SAS) series.  Over the next three months I will run a series of workshops where you will be able to make 8 Christmas cards on each occasion.  In December I will be offering a SAS with a difference where we will be making Christmas gift tags.

The first of these SASs will be held on Saturday 8 September starting and 2.00 pm.  We will be making 8 cards (2 cards of each variety) using stamp sets that are continuing on in the new 2012-2013 catalogue (available as of 1 September 2012).

The first card uses the ornament image and matching ornament punch from the Tags til Christmas set and the second card uses images from the Merry and Type stamp set.

The cost of this SAS will be $20.00 which covers materials for 8 cards with matching envelopes and afternoon tea.

If you are interested in joining this workshop please contact me by email or phone (04111 57969).

October Stamp-A-Stack

The first of the Christmas Stamp-A-Stacks will be held on October 29 from 2.00 pm - 5.00 pm.

We will be making eight Christmas cards with matching envelopes.  Our first two cards in the Christmas Stamp-A-Stacks will use a combination of old favourites and a new stamp set that has just come out in the 2011-2012 Catalogue.

The first card uses a subtle colour tone, Crumb Cake and the ever popular Dasher stamp.  It also features some embossing using the Big Shot and the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder.

The second card uses the every popular colour, Old Olive and the flourish from the stamp set Baroque Motif.  It also uses an ornament stamp from the new set Tags til Christmas.  This has been cut out with the ornament punch and then sparkled up with some shimmer paint.

Come along and make four of each of the cards to add to your supply of cards to give to friends and family this Christmas.

Cost for the Stamp-A-Stack is $20.00 which includes all the makings for the cards and afternoon tea.  If you would like to attend this workshop please contact me by phone or email.



P.S.  I have also included a sneak peak at a couple of other cards we will be making in the November and December Stamp-A-Stacks.
