Joyful Tidings

Today I am posting another Christmas card. 
This time using the MOJO 318 sketch.

I have said it before and will say it again.
 I love using these sketches when I can.

They seem to help me focus creatively. Thank you MOJO blog!

  

I have recently made 4 cards with this designer paper,  Winter Frost Specialty DSP 132341, and really love each one.
 I normally gravitate towards the traditional reds and greens,
 but this paper was to beautiful to pass up and not create with. 
Plus, the colors are certainly trendy.

Quick Christmas Cards

Here are 2 more cards today that I'm considering on teaching

 at my Creative Card Class on November 19.

Again, both are using just Stampin' Up! stamps and coordinating punch.

As they say, EASY PEASY!

You certainly can get quite a few of these made in a short period of time.

If you're anything like me, QUICK and EASY is the ticket. 

I'll be scrambling to get cards made sometime the second week of December!

Easy and Quick Cards with Punches

For the past several days I have been working on cards that I will be using

 for my upcoming Creative Card Class on November 19th. 

I have been scouring the internet looking for fun and quick cards.

I decided that since this is my first time creating
 with these ladies and not knowing their crafting skill level, 
I would have them create most of the cards with punches.

Here are 2 examples that I am considering using.

Blue with Sparkle

I had a little time last night to play with my new punch, stamp set, and paper.

Christmas Ornament Punch 132152/Christmas Collectibles 131775,

 Winter Frost DSP 132341. 

The stamp set and punch can be bought in a bundle for a 15% savings. Who doesn't like saving money? :) This is sold  in either the Wood mount 133282 or

Clear 133283, which I use and prefer.

 I was inspired by MOJO317 sketch. I so enjoy these sketches. 

They always seem to push me out of my "creative box".

Hello There

I decided to give this sketch from The Paper Players a go this week.

Bits and pieces of this card were sitting on my desk for at least 2 days.

I was trying to determine if I was going to make it "clean" or stepped up.

As you can see, stepped up won!

The color combination of Tangerine Tango 111349, Tempting Turquoise 102067, and Old Olive 100702, was suggested by the SU Color Coach .

The sketch is one that was up on MOJO Mondays (#316) blog last week.
