Samples for Christmas Card class

When I got home last night, I had a suprise! A 32-lb. box from SU! Yahoo!!! I couldn't wait to bust it open and play with all the new goodies. And since it was all stuff for my class this weekend (and I promised my gals photos of samples of the cards), I made fun Christmas Cards, all made with Big On Christmas set. Here they are:

1. Let it Snow
Supplies:
- Bashful Blue cardstock
- Kiwi Kiss cardstock
- Chocolate Chip cardstock
- Tangerine Tango cardstock
- Whisper Whit cardstock
- Frosty Day DSP
- Tangerine Tango ribbon
- Stampin Pastels

I am not fond of how I colored this in. Next time I'll use better colors (since these are In-Colors and not in Stampin' Pastels) or do something different.




2. Happy Holidays
Supplies:
- Old Olive cardstock
- Ruby Red cardstock
- Whisper White cardstock
- Holiday Treasures DSP
- Chocolate Chip 1/4" grosgrain
- Jumbo wheel Christmas chatter
- Old Olive wheel ink

If I have enough Chocolate Chip, I am going to add a mat underneath the DSP to make it pop a bit more. But I LOVE this card. I colored in with blender pens, which I love. And the Christmas tree is stamped on DSP & cut out.



3. Noel
Supplies:
- Chocolate Chip cardstock
- Real Red cardstock
- Whisper White cardstock
- Ski Slope DSP
- Baja Breeze ribbon
- Crayloa colored pencils

So pretty! I love these colors together for Christmas, and I never would have thought of it, if not for Ski Slope. :)











So, those are the cards. I pretty much CASED them from cards I saw on SCS. I hope they are not to hard for beginners (Noel & Holidays are pretty easy... Snow takes more effort to layer all that paper). I tried to show a few ways to color, too, with pastels, blender pens & Classic Stampin' pads, and just regular colored pencils. Because, I mean, if in doubt, use colored pencils until you can afford the other stuff. :) I did for years & no one knew the difference.

My goal is to have all the paper cut, ribbon trimmed, and in bags for my guests. But that means cutting over 100 cards and their pieces. Yipes! I better get to work. :)

I can't wait for Friday & Saturday! Fun fun!!
