Hi Stamping Friends!
I just realized that Christmas is only a little more than 5 weeks away! Whoa! As your calendar gets busier and busier, don't forget to take some relaxing time for you! I've got a full calendar of holiday events that will help you de-stress while checking off a few items from your holiday To Do List!
Today, I'll be sharing another card from my "Last Thursdays" card class coming up this Thursday! But first, I want to announce the final class from my Countdown To Christmas Series…
December's Countdown To Christmas Featuring Reason For The Season

Registration is now open for my December Countdown To Christmas Class featuring the pretty Reason For The Season stamp set. You are going to fall in love with the pretty layered poinsettia in this festive set! And, don't forget to order the Bundle Add-On Festive Flower Builder Punch, so you can create beautiful poinsettia flowers for packages and tags! Plus, I just saw a sneak peek of the upcoming 2016 Occasions Catalog and there's a cute set that coordinates with that punch for spring! Woohoo!

Winter Woodland Merry Everything Cards
One of my favorite tools in the Holiday Catalog is the Woodland Texture Impressions Folder. I was so sad to see that it's on the Holiday Retiring List, so it won't be sticking around for long. There are so many fun background techniques you can try with this beautiful texture. Don't miss it! It's only available while supplies last!

White Birches—Now, there are a few different ways you can get those tree trunks white and I discovered that some work better than others:
- Inking The Folder—I decided against inking the folder with Crumb Cake and running it through the Big Shot with Whisper White card stock, because I couldn't seem to get good overall ink coverage.
- Sponging The Trees—I liked the idea of rubbing White Craft Ink over the Crumb Cake trunks with a Sponge Dauber, but I kept inadvertently getting ink on the background, too.
- Brayering On White—I settled on adding the White Craft Ink onto Crumb Cake trees with the help of a brayer. Quick & easy!
How To Brayer The Trees—I started by texture embossing a 3-3/4" x 5" piece of Crumb Cake card stock with the Woodland Folder. I inked up the brayer really well with the White Craft Ink. Then, I VERY LIGHTLY rolled the brayer over the texture just one time from bottom up to the top. It takes a little finesse. You don't want to press down or you'll get ink on the background. And, you don't want to roll back and forth, or you could also get ink on the background. Roll it once, then fix any blank spots by carefully rubbing on the ink with a Sponge Dauber.
Snow On The Branches—I used the 2-Way Glue Pen to add Dazzling Diamonds glitter to all of the branches. Boy, that snow really piled up in the corners! Love it!
Two Cardinals—I stamped two little cardinals from the White Christmas stamp set in Memento Black Ink, then colored them in with a Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Write Marker.
Layer Basics—I matted the background onto a 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" piece of Early Espresso, then popped it up with Dimensionals onto the Whisper White card base.
Snow Hills & Sentiment—I tore the tops off of three pieces of Whisper White card stock to make the three snow hills: 3-3/4" x 2" for the back, 3-3/4" x 1-1/2" for the sentiment layer and 2" x 1-1/4" for a little snow hill in the corner.
I stamped the Jingle All The Way sentiment in Cherry Cobbler. The original image is actually curved a bit, but I straightened it out when I stuck it to my clear mount block.
I added more Dazzling Diamonds to the torn edges of the snow banks with the 2-Way Glue Pen to get them twinkling.
Two Cool—I tried the second version in a horizontal layout. The measurements for the snow hills are 5" x 1-3/4", 5" x 1-1/2" and 2-1/4" x 1-1/4".
