Shake It Up Saturday with Peaceful Noel

Card Class Challenge Day 1

I recently received a card class from my up-line, the Stampin' Up demonstrator who I signed up under, Selene Kempton.  I love the designs, but there was one catch: I don't have the stamp set she used.  She used Candy Cane Lane for this stamp set.  You can see Selene's card below.  But I didn't want that to keep me from using her awesome card designs!  So my challenge was to find other stamps to use to finish these cards.

Selene Kempton's Card

Product of the Week

The Beautiful Blizzard Bundle comes with great textured stamps to create backgrounds, snowflakes to stamp and die cut for focals and more, and sentiments that will melt hearts with snowy themes.  The Blizzard Thinlit Die is one die plate which cuts out all the snowflakes at one time.  You can use the snowflakes for one or many projects, but don't forget about the outline cut from it either!  It can be used to make backgrounds on your projects in a snap.

Going on Now - Year-End Closeout:

Stampin' Up! is holding their Year-End Closeout right now.  Our Holiday catalog will soon be replaced with the new Occasions catalog, which means many of your holiday favorites will be retiring or sold out soon.  Even better, many items are on sale, so it's a great time to load up on some things you've been eyeing over the past couple months.  Be sure to shop with the host code below!

Step 1: Using the Cherry Cobbler Ink, stamp "Merry Little Christmas" onto Layer 7 in the middle.   Using Garden Green Ink, stamp the pine branch on each side of the "Merry Little Christmas" on Layer 7.  Banner cut each end.

Step 2: Use Cherry Cobbler Ink to stamp 4 berry branches onto Layer 6 with the stem in the middle of the Layer.  Stamp 2 going up, slightly to each side of the middle, and do the same going down.  Use Garden Green Ink to stamp the pine branch in between the berry branches going up, then stamp a second and third time, each on the outside of the berry branches before re-inking.  Repeat for the pine branches going down.

Step 3: Use snail adhesive to adhere the layers as shown. Use fast fuse or liquid glue on top of the glimmer paper to make sure it sticks to the paper well.

Step 4: Adhere the banner and bow with glue dots and you are done.J
