We Elect to Stamp November

Happy November Stampers!  By the time our Second Thursday Stampers get their hands on our beautiful projects for this month we will know the outcome of one of the most historic Election Days in the history of the United States.  No matter the outcome of the 2016 Election we rest assured that the outcome of a year of Second Thursday Stamping is a winner!  Check out the excitement brewing for our last meeting of the calendar year . . .



Emerald Envy and Real Red pair up with some Red Glimmer and Presents & Pinecones Washi for a Happy Wonderful Christmas Card . . .




One very lovely Peaceful Pine stands out in Night of Navy on Whisper White.  The Gold Embossed message on this beauty gives our lone pine a whole bunch of seasonal class.
 
 Simply put--Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas to you!  Two designs from This Christmas Specialty DSP provide a perfect backdrop for our super easy, Holly Jolly Greeting set off with a Gold Foil Merry and a Cherry Cobbler Christmas.



We are sure that we will have some happy stampers when they take home a half dozen complete cards ready to sign and put in the mail.  Wooo hooo!

Happy Wonderful Christmas

The Wondrous Wreath Stamp Set comes back to help us again!  The greeting is a perfect anchor for this feel good card.  Quick and easy and so beautiful!


Wondrous Presents Washi Tape Card

Our card base is the tasty Mint Macaron Card Stock, layered with Emerald Envy.  What's not to love about this color combo?  Three pieces of Presents & Pinecones Designer Washi Tape on Whisper White Card Stock provide the backdrop for our ornament made of Red Glimmer Paper punched with a Medium Star centered in the middle of a 2" Circle.  (Don't forget to punch the star first!)  The starry bauble is suspended on Emerald Envy Thick Baker's Twine topped off with an Emerald Envy 3/8" Ruched Ribbon Bow.  Perfect!

Snow Flurries and One Peaceful Pine

The simplicity of a beautiful pine and a blanket of white is all we needed to give us that Peaceful Christmas Feeling.  Less is more with this double embossed and truly exquisite card.

 Peaceful Night of Navy Card

Our old standby, Night of Navy Card Stock has become one of our favorite Christmas go to hues!  The lone pine from Peaceful Pines stands placidly in the midst of a flurry of flakes.  We dry embossed our Whisper White Card Stock with the Softly Falling Textured Impression Folder.  We took special care to be sure we only had a few flakes at the bottom to save space for our Gold Embossed message from Peaceful Pines.  We know our seasonal wishes will make our friends who find one of these pretty cards in their mailbox feel oh so fine!

A Gold Merry and Cherry Christmas

A flurry of Holly Jolly Greetings flakes and a Gold Foil Merry fashioned with a coordinating Merry Christmas Thinlit make this easiest of easy cards beautiful and pleasing to our eye on the holidays!

 This Merry Christmas Card Card

Our colors are traditional with Garden Green and Cherry Cobbler Inks and Card Stocks, complimenting two designs of Designer Series Papers from our brand new pack of This Christmas Specialty Paper.  We struggled a little bit with how to present our Merry Christmas message, but decided that less is absolutely more!  We stamped directly on our card base of Very Vanilla Card Stock with stamps from Holly Jolly Greetings. To make things a little less putzy for our stampers, we backed our Gold Foil Paper with some adhesive sheet so that our stampers could easily cut the Christmas Greetings Thinlits message in the Big Shot and simply press and stick to a beautiful finish!
