Hi Stamping Friends!
What a fun stamping weekend I had! I hope yours was just as enjoyable!
Last night, I had my first Anything Goes Open Stamp Night where stampers can bring their own projects to work on at my studio. It was a small group, but it was great to have company while I worked on my card projects. If you missed it, mark your calendars for the next one on Sunday, November 17 from 4-9pm.
I also had a private stamp-a-stack holiday card class with Gail K. and her friends on Saturday, and that was a blast, too! I've been getting together with this group of stampers to make holiday cards every year for nearly a decade! It's become a fun tradition for all of us!
You should try it, too!

This is one of the stamp-a-stack card designs that we created at Gail's private class! It features the elegant images from the Ornament Keepsakes stamp set, which is still available on the 2013 Holiday Carryover List.
CASEd from Mary Fish at Stampin' Pretty.
I love the unique use of these miniature ornaments as a strand of pretty Christmas lights!
Strand of Lights—I used a Black Marker to free-hand draw a looping line across my 5" x 3-3/4" Whisper White card stock. Then, I stamped the ornaments in Real Red, Gumball Green and Melon Mambo and cut them out with the coordinating Holiday Ornaments Die Cuts (also still available!). The "bulbs" are popped up with Dimensionals and adorned with Pearl Jewels.
I especially love the "deck the halls" greeting from the Christmas Messages set! Perfect!
Once everything was stamped, I layered it on a 5-1/4" x 4" piece of Basic Black card stock, then mounted it on a Real Red card base.
Mini Ornaments—My second card uses three different ornament images from Ornament Keepsakes in Gumball Green, Real Red and Pacific Point. I used the Black Marker again to draw in the strings with bows.
Well, looky there! That "deck the halls" works perfectly with this style, too! Cool!
