Flourishes, Scor Buddies,COPIC's and Sparkles are in...

We are still trying to find some room for last order received. Maybe after Friday's sale we will have more. Wink, Wink....

We have Flourishes stamps, Scor Buddies, a few more COPIC Sketch colors and some fun Sparkles, just in time for the bling on your Christmas cards.

Santa's Sleigh, from Flourishes

Santa's Sleigh is another Flourishes stamp for Christmas. We have lots of stamps you might need for your cards. Have you started or finished yours? I must confess, I have not actually started mine. I had better "make time to create", or I won't get them finished.

We have some half price studio days again. Wednesday 8th and 22nd. So if you are like me and you need to get started on your cards, better make some time.

Stampavie is in...

We have Stampavie sets in. Just in time for those Christmas cards too. I colored the little girl in blue, in a COPIC class I took. Helen said we had to get those stamps, so we did! I also started coloring the snowmen, (and snow- woman), called Cuddles. See how cute the row of houses are and all you have to do is cut a row and attach to card front. Then you can have fun with the snowmen. Why are they just called snowmen, now that I think of it???

Flourishes , "Best Christmas stamp ever"..

Sue had this stamp long before we opened and commented that it was "probably her all time favorite Christmas stamp." When we asked a few friends for any samples they would like to share, Sue brought this one over. So, we set up a class and she came back with even more samples. Then she also made an gorgeous ornament using the stamp.

Her class on November 30th. is with 2 cards and 1 ornament, using her favorite stamp. (We have ordered more in, as they keep selling out).

Cost for her class is $12.00 and it is at 10:00 am. Here is a closer look at her ornament. (Colors may vary, as we are getting metallic card stock in too).

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

Kaisercraft , Noel

Whenever I buy a piece of paper I try to envision a page and a card with it. Although I have not gotten many pages completed since opening, I have made cards. This is done with the Kaisercraft, Noel collection.

It is not really a traditional Christmas paper, but I wanted to show what you could do with it.

So many ideas, so little time.......

Basic Grey Jovial Doilies

We had gotten these lovely Doilies in from Basic Grey and I know some thought I was crazy. But I could see several cards made with one 12x12 sheet. I cut out each bunch, making sure I had at least one poinsettia in each,(which gave me 7 to use).

3 are a smaller bunch and 4 are larger. This was done with one cut of the

12 x12 poinsettia bunch.

I used vellum over it and made a greeting, edged the card with gold and it was completed with Zva beads.

7 cards from one sheet. Nice...

The paper in the background is part of the Jovial collection.

Cross Stitch Card

Diane had made this wonderful cross stitch ornament, as a sample to keep at our studio. She admitted she was not a card maker and suggested I do something creative with it. I decided to do that yesterday, as I was making other samples, (that will follow). I hope Diane is pleased with my design, as her cross stitching is amazing.

Beginner cross stitching classes are available. Call for details.

Bo Bunny, Loralie and Jillibean...

The M&T from last week never made it on the site completed. It is made with Bo Bunny- Jasmyne paper. I just found out this particular one is sold out for the year. We hope it gets picked up again next year, as it is a gorgeous paper.

The middle card is made with a Loralie stamp & a new Spellbinder. Thanks Susan for letting me play with it. I'm still practicing with my COPICs.

The last card is made with Jillibean paper. Some of you might rmeember this one, as the "other side" of the "One Sheet Wonder" class in August. It also makes nice Christmas trees.
