Every year I make a large number of Christmas cards. One of the downsides, or it might be a good side of being a Stampin' Up!® Demonstrator is you can't get away with sending shop bought cards. My cards need to be quick but they also have to be fun to make and pretty to look at.
For those people that you want to send Christmas messages to but you know they don't appreciate your craft and probably throw away your cards along with all the rest you can make the simplest of your cards: -
Layers, a bit of sponging and a matching stamp set and punch like 'Contempo Christmas' and the Ornament punch make a very quick card.
Then add a little more with a Stampin' Around wheel like 'So Swirly' to give texture to your card base.
For those important people in your life, other papercrafters and of course your Stampin' Up!® demonstrator you want to add some bling and Dazzling Diamonds and a 2 way Glue pen is always a quick and economical, if messy way to add bling to your projects.
I've used: -
Stamp Set - Contempo Christmas, So Swirly Jumbo Wheel
Paper - Marina Mist, Night of Navy & Whisper White Cardstock
Ink - Marina Mist and Night of Navy Classic Stampin' Pads
Punch - Ornament
Accessories - Stampin' Sponge, Paper Cutter, Snail Adhesive, Stampin' Dimensionals, 2 Way Glue Pen, Dazzling Diamonds
Don't forget there's only six days to go to get your $550 order in to get the extra $100 in hostess benefits. Check out the details here and then get your papercrafting friends together to buy what you'll need for your Christmas cards, then use the hostess benefits for those nice to have products that are on your wishlist.
Don't forget to get your order to me by the 30th June.
