SNOW MUCH FUN IN JULY AUGUST!!!
My first stamping adventure (that I remember), I went to a class on Christmas Cards. I remember it was early November and the project was something I felt like I could make. There was plenty enough time to complete several before Christmas came. I love, love, love making my own Christmas Cards every year. My Mom does too! So we generally get together and plan our cards. My husband has even gotten caught up in the act. Mike says that I only give him the jobs that a two year old girl could do. He wants more of a challenge this year. Now that we are married, there are 75 handmade Christmas Cards to make. So we start early. My family and friends tell me they look forward to receiving them every year. Some of them have kept them like they are a collection! So if you are interested in making your own Christmas Cards, call me! If you want to learn to make a Christmas Card let me know, we can work individually or at a class on Christmas Cards coming soon!
Here are a couple of easy Christmas Cards
Snowball bird – Beginner level - Isn't he so cute?!
Snow Much Fun stamp set – pg 25 (122562)
Really Red card base 4 ¼ X 5 ½
Scrap of Whisper White to stamp the snowball and the base of the sentiment.
Almost Artichoke cardstock 3 X 5 ½ and small scrap for sentiment.

Antique Brad wrapped around the center of bow.
Snowball was “watercolored” with technique taught in August Card class using Marina Mist.
Bird colored with Cherry Cobbler Stampin Write Marker.
I stamped a couple of birds at the bottom of the inside of the card.
HERE IS A LITTLE MORE WORK CARD - NOT HARD - JUST MORE STUFF!
Snowman with bird friends – Intermediate level {you can do it!}

Cherry Cobbler Card Base 4 ¼ X 5 ½
Very Vanilla 4 X 5 run through Big Shot with
Texturz Backgrounds 1 – pg 219 (114512) (look close to see in the photo) and

Snowman was “watercolored” with technique taught in the August Card Class using reinkers in Cherry Cobbler on the boots, Not Quite Navy, Wisteria Wonder (new in-color) and Black under the hat.
Scarf, carrot, hat and birds were colored with Stampin Write Markers.
Inside is stamped with the snowball and bird from the set as well! I would also probably stamp the envelope with the snowball and bird as well.
So start thinking about Christmas, there are so many fun things to make! I appreciate your support. The card class for August is filled. If enough people continue to want to take the class I could open another date. Let me know if you got left out! Email Me!
Gotta Go!
Get some ink on your fingers!
