Cardmaking: Holiday Joy

Hey Gang, You are either still in a food stupor, shopping or briskly walking off all those extra calories we US citizens consumed yesterday. Yeah! We sure know how to EAT! Black Friday is traditionally my day to start my holiday crafting. We don't really do gifts anymore. One or two, maybe. 

These are a few of the cards I made as samples for upcoming card classes in my studio. I've set up a box for each card with the papers trimmed to size and any stamps needed. There will be plenty of room for improv as well but beginners will have everything at their fingertips. 

These two cards (above and below) use the same Ellen Hutson die set. I experimented with non-traditional papers in the second one. I'll be back with more videos.  

The Geo Tree and Joy die cuts are from Ellen Hutson, everything else is Simon Says Stamp. Supplies are all listed beneath the video. Use what you have. I try to find supplies that are neutral so they can be used in many different ways.

Sure wish I lived in the Philly area to come to your meet ups! These cards are all so festive and really put me in the mood for Christmas crafting. Thanks for the video, Diana!

Thank you for the video.The card you made is sweet and simple, but has a class all on its own. Great job!

Always love your ideas.

Thanks Sharon! I really like that pink and gold thing :) I’m waiting for coral card stock to come in as I think that would be great with gold to.

[Diana Trout]

Oh thanks Joy! It would be fun to have you here. I’l be putting some more card videos up in the next two weeks.

It was a blast having you here Mary. You are such an inspiration! Making cards is fun: little works of art. I’ve gotten so many new, fun techniques over the past year. An adventure

Thanks so much, Dee!
