January Card class cards

Here are the cards from the last card class in January. I am falling behind!

My friend Karen designed this one for class because it was also a Stampin Up party. People who made an order didn't have to pay for the class.  This card uses all Stampin Up products.

This next card Was done with a variety of stamps. The little hearts were from an old Stampin Up set. The heart cups are on clearance from Stampin Up. the Ric Rack Die cut is from Quickutz. The words are part of an occasion set I got at JoAnns.  The paper is some old paper I got at Tuesday Morning. 

We are doing a Christmas card every month so we have a selection of them when the holidays come.  Here is the card for January. 

Karen also designed this card. It uses all Stampin Up materials.  I loved the die so much I bought it.  I also got the expensive ribbon for her waistline.  I used different words than the rest of the group and used the card for my sister-in-law, Doris's birthday. 

As always, I wish you all could come to my card classes. 

Pop Up O Christmas Tree

When I first saw this die, I just had to have it. I actually had to take some cards, bookmarks and jewelry to work to sell, in order to be able to afford it. It is NOT cheap. Today I had three friends come over to help me figure out how the tree worked. I am so pleased.  Thanks for checking it out!

This is the front of the card. The word stamp is from Inkadinkado. I got it at Tuesday Morning for just $.99.  The tree border was done with a EK punch. I chose the colors from some Christmas papers I had from last year as part of one of those ultimate scrapbook sets.

Here is the card open. It is so cool that I can do such a complicated pop up card.  The tree skirt was done with a Outline Stamp. I colored it with colored pencils but the paper itself was also printed. This was part fo the same ultimate scrapbook set.

This is a close-up of the corner designed for the sender to leave a message. The curls are bits of left over paper from the flourish die cuts I used on the tree.  Just couldn't trow them out and I like the detail.  The snowflales were a punch. I have had it a long time and don't know who makes it.

The tree is decorated with punched circles, tiny stars that are part of a border punch, and flourishes. The flourish die is from Quickutz. The "snow" is a Stickler. I used a little of that on the front of the card above the trees.

I did watch this viseo to help me figure out putting the die cuts together. You can see it here.  I also got some inspiration at I Am Not Left Handed. You should check out her pop up cards.  Thanks for stoping by!Let me know what you think,
