"Last Thursdays" Monthly Card Class
Just a reminder that my "Last Thursdays" card class is coming up this Thursday, October 25, at 6:30pm at my Too Cool Stamping Studio in Fort Wayne, IN. Make 4
cards for $10 or the class is FREE with an order* placed at the event.
If you're a new stamper, this is a fantastic opportunity to learn
some basic stamping skills! If you're a stamping enthusiast, it's a fun
night of stamping and chatting with friends, and adding to your card
stash! Either way, it's a night you won't want to miss!
This month, we'll be using the Ornament Keepsakes Bundle, Candlelight Christmas Designer Series Paper and Festive Paper-Piercing Pack, which are all featured in this month's Christmas Gift Pack Promotion promotion.
- Frosty Friends CASE (posted below)—Try simple coloring with Markers & Blender Pen.
- Just Believe Thinking Of You—(posting tomorrow) Try multi-colored stamping with markers & paper-piercing.
- Ornament With Candlelight Christmas Banners—Try die-cutting with Framelits.
- More Perfectly Preserved Pears—More die-cutting with matching Framelits and paper-piercing.
Want to join us? Please RSVP by Wednesday, October 24, at 5pm.
*Minimum order is $20 for the FREE class. Workshop, private class, Stamp Club and Ink Pad Club orders do not qualify.

When I'm feeling in need of some creative inspiration, it's always helpful to take a closer look at the Stampin' Up! catalog for fantastic ideas! For example, today's project is CASEd directly from page 9 of the Holiday Catalog.
I've loved this card since I first saw it…it's so cute and quick to make! I started with a Baha Breeze card base that I embossed with the snowflake pattern from the Delicate Designs Texture Impressions Folders.
The next layer is a 3-1/2 x 4-1/4" piece from the Snow Festival Designer Series Paper. The entire front of the card is wrapped with Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine and tied in a bow.
I stamped both the Greetings of The Season sentiment and Frosty Friends single stamp image in Black StazOn Ink. Next, I used a Blender Pen and Baja Breeze Classic Ink to lightly color on the snow and shade each snowman. The rest of the snowmen are colored directly with Stampin' Write Markers.
I added some sparkling Dazzling Diamonds to the snow and snowmen with a 2-Way Glue Pen.
I used a plate to trace a curve to the bottom of my 4" x 3-1/2" piece of Whisper White card stock. Then, I adhered a border die-cut with the Finishing Touches scallop edge. It's so pretty and ruffly (is that a word?)!
To make the scallop border curve, simply add some snips every couple of scallops (on the non-scallop side) and adhere the sections in an overlapped fashion as it curves.
Coloring Option: Remember my friend Darla Eigenschink did the same card in another color combination that I already posted. She used Watercolor Paper and an Aqua Painter for a smoother background wash.
