Cookie Cutter Christmas Card

I have a fun Christmas card to share with you today.  Great to give to all the bakers you know with your friends and family.  It is a fun and easy card to create.  
To create the handles for the baking pan, I punched out two circles (34" punch) on the smoky slate card stock.  Then I put the silver foil paper over it and you don't see the holes.



The recipe:
Cookie Cutter Christmas Bundle (#143493)
Real Red (#102482), Chocolate Chip (#102218), Smoky Slate (#131202) and Whisper White (#100730) card stock
Silver Foil Card stock (#132178)
Candy Cane Lane Designer Series Paper (#141981)
Chocolate Chip stamp pad (#126979)
Holly Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (#141634)
3/4" Circle Punch (#119873)

Swirly Scribbles Happy Birthday

This is a fun birthday card to create.  I like the colors for this card.  We are using the Swirly Scribbles thinlits.  I do have to confess that when the new catalog came out in June, this stamp set or thinlits were not on high on my wish list.  Then I saw all the samples that other demonstrators were doing with the set and it changed my mind.  I can't believe how many cards I have created using this set.  I am glad I changed my mind about this set.  I do use wax paper with this thinlit because the card stock does come out so much easier.  Put the wax between the card stock and thinlit.  Makes is so my easier to pop the card stock from the thinlit.

Here is the recipe:
Swirly Bird stamp set (#141749 photopolymer)
Whisper White (#100730), Smoky Slate (#131202) and Dapper Denim (#141414) card stock
Dapper Denim (#141394) and Basic Black Archival (#140931) stamp pads
Banner Triple Punch (#138292)
Woodgrain Textured Impression Embossing Folder (#127821)
Swirly Scribbles Thinlits (#141497)

Vintage Leafs Birthday Card

I wanted to created a card with fall colors.  I am trying to get into the fall spirit, it is hard when the weather is still so hot here in Southern California.  I made my own back ground paper by stamping the leaves all over the vanilla card stock.  My goal was to make a masculine birthday card with fall colors. 

Here is the recipe:
Vintage Leaves (#138802 photopolymer), Perpetual Birthday Calendar (#137167 photopolymer) "small leaves in Crushed Curry and Celebrate Today "Happy Birthday" (#137138 photopolymer) stamp sets

Designer Tin of Cards Project Kit

Here is a picture of the cards we created from our Designer tin of Cards Project Kit at our class on Saturday,.  It was a fun class and I love the cards that are in this kit. I only changed one of the cards from "Sending Love" to "Thank you".  I use thank you cards more,  That's what is great about our kists is that you stamp your own greeting you'd like on your project.   Each one is different with the design, colors and accessories.  We had a great class and everyone liked the projects and enjoyed the time together stamping and creating.

The recipe is:
Designer Tin of Card Project Kit (#141651)
Designer Tin of Cards stamp set (#141739)
photopolymer stamp set of 33 stamps
