Christmas SAS

Last month saw the start of my Christmas Stamp-a-Stack classes.

Here is the first card.  I've used Kraft and Pacific Point cardstock.  A bit non-traditional Christmas colours but I really like it.

A close up of the sparkle and rhinestone brad.

The same card but using traditional Christmas colours.  I don't know if you can see in this picture, but I scored 1cm on either side (not the top or bottom).

Here is a better photo to show you the scored lines.

These cards are great if you have a lot to do.  The longest part was the 2-step stamping with the flower stamp from Cottage Garden.  I used the 5 petal flower punch to then punch them out instead of cutting them out (that was a time saver!!). You could get a bunch of these completed in a few hours.  I think I might keep these as MY christmas cards to send out this year.

Boy, the weather has turned cold again here in Sydney. Brrrrrrr.  Over the weekend we had 20 & 22 degrees and we opened all our windows and doors hoping to get rid of any illness that might be lying around ready to get us again (lol).  Since Monday we have had 15 degrees. Brrrrr.  Bring on the warmer weather I say.  :-)

Happy Stamping,

June SAS

These are the two cards I taught at this mont's SAS (stamp-a-stack) class.

This card was inspired by my upline Jayne with her swap card from Convention.  Jayne used 'bird on a branch' stamp set while I used the 'extra large 2-step bird punch' and ribbon.

This card (apart from a couple of changes) came straight out of the Autumn/Winter Mini (pg 30).  I really needed some inspiration for my class and what better place to look - the catalogues!!!

The girls LOVED making these cards too.

Happy Stamping,

P.S. - I will be starting my Christmas SAS class next month, so if you would like to have christmas cards to send out to friends & family this year, come along to my class.

Friends

Here is what my 3D class made tonight!  You've already seen one photo but here are more.

(sorry about the quality of the pictures.....)

Here is the card box.  As I only had whisper white or very vanilla in 12x12, I needed to find a dsp that used either of those colours.  I had bought the cottage garden dsp but hadn't opened it yet and saw that whisper white would go nicely with it.

The side panel.  Very easy to make.

Now you can see the pockets.

I used the flower brads as feet on my sample.

Here is the flower pot card.  I have made one before HERE but with the new leaf die, it just brings the card to life!

I did get my inspiration for this card from Amy Celona (US Demo).

Can you see the butterfly!  I did the rock 'n' roll technique for this using Rich Razzelberry and Pale Plum ink.  I also added some bling!

Wow, this was a long post wasn't it!  I hope you made it through.  LOL

Happy Stamping,
