StampAStack cards for Class on Sunday

Hello! I am excited to be doing a Stamp-A-Stack class with a fabulous group of ladies on Sunday morning! These are the cards we will be doing. Several were cased from swaps I received at the Providence, RI Regional I attended in August.
This is one I saw out in blog land somewhere! I love the stamp set Days of Gratitude!
 The base is Crumb cake with Early Espresso and Tangerine Tango layers. Stamped in Always Artichoke, Tangerine Tango, More Mustard and Early Espresso inks on Very Vanilla card stock.
I used the 1" circle punch, the 1 3/8" circle punch and the 1 3/4" circle punch. The greeting is punched with the extra large oval punch.

This next card is a slight modification of one that Barb King swaped with me at Regional. Thanks for your great idea Barb!! This one uses the Woodgrain background in Chocolate Chip ink on a base of Soft Suede card stock. French Foliage stamp set using Cherry Cobbler, Always Artichoke and Crumb Cake inks on Very Vanilla card stock layered onto So Saffron and tied with Cherry Cobbler seam binding.

This was another swap from Providence Regional. Thanks to Terry Going for the awesome idea! The Old Olive base is embossed with the Stripes embossing folder. The mats under the wreath and the greeting are Cherry Cobbler. The Whisper White card stock is embossed with the Petals-A-Plenty embossing folder. Old Olive ink is sponged on in a circle and Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Details is added to create the holly berries. Add a quick bow of Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine and there you have it! So cute!

Who doesn't love a snowman? We didn't get to make too many last winter...weather man says we will this year though! The card base is Baja Breeze with strips of the Summer Smooches DSP (on Sunday we are going to use the In Color 2011-2013 DSP Stack in Island Indigo) and an accent stripe of Cherry Cobbler. The snowman from Snow Much Fun is stamped in Stazon on Whisper White card stock and punched with the 2 1/2" circle punch. I added a little color with Cherry Cobbler and Pumpkin Pie markers. Also a bit of sparkle (hard to see) with a 2- Way Glue Pen and Dazzling Diamonds Glitter.
I will try to post the cards for my Holiday Card Class a few at a time over the next couple weeks. It is not too late to schedule your workshop to see some great holiday ideas! If you are in southern NH or VT get in touch with me so we can stamp together soon!!

Hello There!

I am going to try to get back to blogging about things I have stamped. I am not sure I will post everyday or even every week. I am going to try to make this a habit though.
This card is a swap I received at the Providance, RI Regional. I loved it so much and decided to make it one of the cards at my Holiday Card Class. My Holiday Card Class is going to be on November 4th at 1:00 in Hinsdale, NH.
