Christmas Card Stamp a Stack

Join me on October 30th for a fun morning of stamping! We will be getting a jump start on Christmas cards. Cost for the class is $20 for 10 cards, 2 each of the 5 designs! Email me today to RSVP. All you need to bring is adhesive.

This first card was a fun one and copied from many who have done the same with the Sizzix Top Note Die. I love the greeting I paired with this fun little elf.

Next is a really simple card using a Stampin' Up wheel, Trim the Tree. I saw the layout and loved it but didn't have the stamps they used so I came up with my own idea. =)

Next is a complete case from SCS. I loved the neat and simple design of this card!

Another very simple card using Perfect Punches and a Sizzix embossing folder.

Lastly another case using the Tags Til Christmas set and Snowflake punch!

I hope to you can join us on October 30!

Happy Stamping~

Where have I been?

There isn't much stamping going on right now...just feeding, changing diapers, sleeping and homeschooling my almost 6 year old. Caden Thomas was born on July 11th, 2 weeks early! He weighed 7lbs 9oz and was 20 inches long. He spent some time in the NICU for breathing issues but is now home and doing great! We are still adjusting to life as a family of four. I hope to be back on the stamping wagon very soon....just need to get more than 1 hour of sleep at a time. It takes a lot for little man to maintain those chins!!

Punch Art Class! June 17th!

Come join me on June 17th for my last class till September!! Baby will be here in 5 weeks so I am taking a break. Class is $10 for three cards....

Punch Bug!
I got the idea for this cute bug from a blog and adapted it to a card that would work for birthdays or even Father's Day!

This cute card came from Heather Sumners punch class. Another fun card for a coach or Dad that loves baseball.

Finally are these cute fish made using the ornament punch. This card was cased from one I saw on SCS. I left the greeting off, but this would make a fun birthday or anniversary card.

Please RSVP by June 15th if plan to attend so I can cut paper and get it all ready!! I hope to see you there!

Happy Punching!!
