Vintage Vogue

Stampin' Up launched thier new mini catalog on Jan. 5th with a new design of punches and clear mount stamps. You can purchase the stamp sets in either wood or clear mount. I purchased the clear mount Vintage Vogue set to try the clear mount. I was pleasantly surprised how much I liked them. Stampin' Up still uses their quality rubber on the clear mount. Each set is stored in a sleek plastic case.

Tree Trimmings

It's a good thing my mother doesn't have a computer or I couldn't share this Christmas card with you, LOL. I love how it turned out. I embossed the Whisper White card stock using the Big Shot Textured Impressions Petals-A-Plenty and added it to the Basic Black and gold card stock. I stamped the ornaments using Stampin' Ups Tree Trimmings and the oval punches for the Merry Christmas. I hope she likes it.

Berry Christmas

With the snow coming down tonight, I thought I would share a Christmas card I made. Before I decide on the card I am sending out to family and friends I create several different cards and the pick the one I really like. For this card, I wanted to try out the new Textured Impressions Petals-A-Plenty as part of the background. I love how the embossed poinsettias turned out. The stamp set used was Berry Christmas from the Holiday Mini. As always, I like to add a little sparkle to my cards with Stickles.

So now it is your turn, get your stamp sets out and start stamping!

Brothers

Our last page was creating a memory of friends or family. I chose my Grandsons, surprise, surprise, lol. We used the Jumble alphabet stamp set for creating the title and the stamp set Petal Pizzaz for the flowers. Card stock used was Certainly Celery, Bashful Blue, Wisper White and Chocolate Chip.

Autumn Harvest

This is the second page we completed at class. I love scrapbooking my Grandchildren. It was a cold and windy day when we picked out pumpkins, but my Grandson had a great time.

We used the stamp set Autumn Splendor and Autumn Meadows designer series paper from the Holiday Mini. Card stock used was Chocolate Chip, Really Rust and Very Vanilla. Almost forgot, the smaller leaves were from the stamp set Autumn Harvest.

One of my favorite subjects

We had our last scrapbook class for 2009 this past Thursday. This is one of the pages we completed. It is simple but elegant. All we used was Basic Black, Real Red, Basic Gray and Whisper White card stock and a retired border stamp from Stampin' Up. If you are not a scrapbooker, try this on a card for a friend or relative that is near or far. It is a great way to share a photo with friends or family.

Delightful Decorations

Next week is Thanksgiving!! It's amazing how time flies. Christmas is just around the corner. I love making and sending handmade Christmas cards. Put a Christmas CD on and start stamping. I made this card using the new stamp set Delightful Decorations and the new Ornament punch from the Holiday Mini. Easy, easy card to make.

Card stock: Basic Black, Whisper White and Real red

Stamp Pads: Basic Black and Real real

Added a little glitz with yellow Stickles in the center of each ornament.
