Merry Christmas Wishes to All!

Another card from my Stamp-a-Stack class.  Though very simple, it's very striking I think.  My colleagues and I will be making this one at my school for a service project.  We'll be sending the cards we make to the local assisted living homes...they are very grateful, and quite honestly, surprised that someone would like to do so!  Why not make a few extra cards this year and drop them by your local assisted living homes?

Get your Party Pants on!

Announcing a new Sale-a-Bration stamp set....Party Pants!  Sooooo cute!  Love these samples from Stampin' Up!  You can get the set for FREE with a $50 order.  Check back tomorrow for an update from me on my Party Pants Stamp Camp.  In the meantime, check out the video, and look below for the colors used for these samples above.  Do you already have them or do you need to put them on your wish list?

Updated look to a favorite technique!

A year or two ago I had learned a Color Blocking technique which allowed you to create four striking cards fairly quickly.  It was a hit with my stampin' friends!  We actually completed a set of 16 cards in the technique class that I hosted.  Recently, I found the extra supplies left over from this class and decided to update the original look we created and put those extras to use!

Above is the original Color Block card from the class.  This card measures 5 1/2" x 4 1/4".  You may notice retired stamps and colors, but it can always be recreated with the current supplies I'm listing below or with what you have on hand.  To get the look you stamp four different colored quarter sheets of card stock in four different images.

Shown above is the updated version using the awesome new Thick Whisper White cardstock and smaller color blocks. The card measures 5 1/2" x 4 1/4".   Here are the measurements (h x w) of the color blocks:
yellow 3"x 2 1/2", green 1 1/4" x 1", red 3" x 1", blue 1 1/4" x 2 1/2"

And I thought it would also make a cute note card sized 3 1/2" x 5"...with a banner greeting and some bling!  Very trendy...no?  Like I mentioned earlier, you can recreate this technique with any stamp set including some suggestions featured below.
