I've been running Christmas Stamp-a-Stack classes since July. The ladies make 10 cards each month, so that after this week's class, they will have 60 cards made. Each month I do 2 new designs. Each design also has 3 variations, so you can see with this design I have used the same pieces of cardstock for each card, but made the cards look quite different. The ladies have the option of choosing their favourite variation, and making their 5 cards all the same, or they can make a mixture of the 3 variations. This design is really simple, so even if you haven't started your cards yet, you could whip up a few of these.


The red gingham ribbon in these cards has now been retired, but you could easily substitute some other ribbon. The Real Red Narrow Taffeta Ribbon would work well.

Hi Marelle. I really love these cards and your ideas for stamping classes for Christmas. I'll be borrowing them. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHi Marelle,
ReplyDeleteGreat cards, love the wreaths.
Is there any chance you could post a pic of the Christmas card you made with the poinsettia embossing folder and 'Joy at Christmas' stamp that you had in your newsletter? I thought I saved it but I didn't and I loved it!!!
