This simple Christmas card uses the beauty of the 'vintage' style Santa which required very little coloring to be WOW! Two thumbs WAY up for the Stampin' Up! artist who designed this stamp set. I like this 'alternative' to the regular fold in half card, but it is still just half a piece of cardstock. I cut the Garden Green cardstock at 4 1/4 x 11 and scored it at 2 3/8 and 7 5/8 with the ... View Post

Tri-Shutter Thanksgiving Card
Okay, this might be my last 'Thanksgiving' share! The 'tri-shutter' card looks a lot harder than it actually is (as evidenced by the fact that I could do this at all!). I hand scored/cut all of the tri-shutter cards for our Fall Stamp Festival that I am sharing here. The good news is that I can now officially cut and score one of these in my sleep! I have included the diagram... you know ... View Post

You can be sure the you'll see me use it ... View Post

Classic Christmas Card
I love the 'tent' style cards... especially if you don't have much to say! Okay, just KIDDING! The 'base' of the card is 4 1/4 x 7 1/2 folded and a 3x4 inch piece of designer series paper covers the front of it. I used my favorite 'finial press' embossing folder as usual and that combined with the wide satin ribbon makes this very elegant. You can't see the fine lines of glitter along the ... View Post
