Triple Stair Step Card with Forever Forest Bundle

 Hello Craftin' Friends!

Do you ever have those days when you start to create something and everything seems to go just right? That's how it was with creating this card today. My friend and downline Sue Huffman made me a stunning card for Christmas and I decided to CASE it using the Forever Forest Bundle. The neat thing about this card is that you could switch up the DSP and turn it into a birthday card or anything else really. I went with a Christmas card because I desperately need more of them before the holidays!

Here's a peek at Sue's card.

For my card, I had to figure out how to reproduce the fun fold without using 12 by 12" paper, as I didn't have any in the colour I wanted. To see how to do that, check out my tutorial here. 

Because Forever Forest has no sentiments, and because I just love a sentiment where the words are the negative part of the stamp, I used the Merry & Bright Stamp Set for two of my sentiments. On the front of the card, I used all of the individual tree dies from the Forever Forest Bundle, and the deer from the Grove Dies. 

On the back of the card, I stamped the three largest trees from the Forever Forest Bundle and die cut them. The sentiment is from the Merry & Bright Stamp Set.

Under the flap on the back of the card there's a space for writing. I added trees from the Forever Forest Stamp Set and a sentiment from the Brightest Glow Stamp Set as I don't usually have time to write much on my cards at Christmas time. 

The products used to create this card are available in my online store. You can find a complete listing of the products used here.

November Christmas Cards Class

 Hi there, Craftin' Friends!

Today I'm sharing the three cards we made at my November Christmas Card classes. They each have a different style, as I wanted to create cards for the different types of folks who may be on your Christmas Card list. Of course, it's your job to figure out which card suits which recipient!

The Peace on Earth Card has a more elegant feel. Some retired products were used in the making of this card, but in the My Projects section on my website I suggest alternate products or ways of altering the card. You can also find a complete listing of all of the products used in making all three of these cards. 

Inside the card I used stamps from the Forever Forest Stamp Set and the Winter Owls Stamp Set. I think these two stamp sets work really well together.

The second card is for everyone who owns a truck, or who wishes they did! This double Z fold card was CASED from stampwithtami.com. I found it here on Pinterest. 

In the centre circle I added the little gifts from the Trucking Along Stamp Set. I wanted to leave a little extra room for writing, because there's not much space on the last circle. 

The final card features the bear from the Beary Cute Bundle and the Beary Christmas DSP. It reminds me of the old Coke commercial. Do you remember it? I also used the Merry & Bright Stamp Set for sentiments. 

This is a regular Z fold card. I just added a second sentiment inside.
