Christmas Card #6 - Last but not Least (and certainly the EASIEST!)

Last but not least - here is # 6 out of 6 cards I created for the Above & Beyond Christmas Card Swap at 2011 Convention. 

This one was certainly the EASIEST and, it uses the adorable new Mini Brads!

Here's what you'll need:

Petite Pairs stamp set; Early Espresso card stock (smooth & textured); Marina Mist card stock; Pink Pirouette card stock; Letters to Santa DSP; Riding Hood Red classic ink; Silver mini brads; Pretty in Pink satin ribbon;  Decorative Label punch; Scallop Oval punch; Large Oval punch; Scallop Edge Border punch; Stampin’ Dimensionals

 Here's what you do:

Cut DSP and layer onto Early Espresso smooth card front.  Cut textured Espresso 2x4-1/4” and scallop edge – adhere to DSP.  Tie ribbon around scalloped piece.  Punch Marina Mist with Deco Label punch.  Punch textured Early Espresso with Scallop punch.  Stamp Merry Christmas using Red Riding Hood ink on Pink Pirouette card stock and punch with Large Oval punch.  Assemble punched pieces and attach 2 silver mini brads.  Attach punched piece with stampin’ dimensionals.

Card Folios

Here are some of the Card Folios I've been making this week. Comment or contact me for the directions. These are very easy to make and can be made using standard cards (the first three folios) or Stampin' Up! note cards (the fourth one - "for you").

I think the first place I saw this idea was in the Summer 2006 Take Ten magazine.

This was made using Urban Oasis DSP & the Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set:

This was made using my last piece of Parisian Summer Specialty DSP. I used Versamark and the Friendly Words Jumbo Wheel, along with the Scallop Oval, Oval Punches and Three Little Words stamp set.

This one was made using a Medium Window Sheet (look in the Occasions Mini) and SAB paper, along with the Beautiful Butterflies die and some metallic stick-ons.



This last one is my favorite. It was made for the Stampin' Up! notecards and envelopes (20 of each for $5.95 in the Idea Book and Catalog), one sheet of Pacific Point card stock, Pacific Point ribbon, Ice brads and the Great Friend set (look in the Occasions Mini)...
