Cards from the Shoebox Swap

Good Morning!  It's another warm day in Central Illinois.  Big things happening next week.  First, Pumpkin Festival begins! The whole Morton year revolves around Pumpkin Fest.  We seasoned veterans know how to keep our heads low and off the radar.  We go and enjoy the Festival on Wednesday and Thursday night, then we crawl into our bunkers for the rest of it.  Unless you or someone you know is in the parade.  Then you gotta go see it.

Secondly, next week is my puppy Chloe's first birthday - on September 19th she will be one year old.  More about that later!

And last, but not least, my Stamping Classroom card classes are in session - on Tuesday, Friday and Sunday.  The cards are all fall leaf themed.  Beautiful but easy to make.  Contact me if you would like to attend, but haven't registered yet.  There is still time!  $10 for 5 cards and envelopes.  Also, keep tuned in.  I'm going to make an exciting announcement on Friday regarding my card classes.


Todays cards are 3 samples of the cards we made on Sunday.  All of them used product from the 2015  Holiday Catalog.

This card was designed by Christ Thomas.  She used the Wonderland Stamp set (pg 23) and the Winter Wonderland Specialty Designer series paper.  The color palate was mossy meadow and very vanilla.  She also used the Lots of Labels Framelitts, found in the Annual Catalog.

The card designer was Lori Helvick.  She used Season of Cheer Designer series paper, and Flurry of Wishes stamp set, with the Snow Flurry Punch.  Her color palate was soft sky, night of navy and whisper white.  Silver ribbon and rhinestones added the special touches.

Mary Booker designed this card.  She used the Softly Falling textured impressions folder, Winter Wonderland Designer Series paper, Wonderland stamp set, and gold glimmer paper with the star framelitts.  The wow technique on this card, and you can't really see it in the photo, was that we stamped the trees on the glossy designer series paper using the new archival black ink, then heat embossed using Iridescent Ice.  Really beautiful and easy to do.

That's it for today!  Check out the weekly specials on the side column.  Some things you might need for your Christmas cards!

Keep on stamping!
