Berry Christmas Card

I wanted to share another card we made at a recent Stamp-a-Stack class. I absolutely love anything with Stampin' Up!'s Chocolate Chip color! This was a fairly simple design but makes for a striking card. It uses the Berry Christmas stamp set from the Holiday Mini Catalog.

I think reality hit yesterday when I realized we only have 2 1/2 weeks until Christmas, and I still have so MUCH to do! I'm also anxiously awaiting Mr. Brown (aka the UPS man)...okay, maybe I'm kind of stalking him today. It will be like Christmas today when I open my new box of goodies I've preordered from the Occasions Mini and Sale-a-Bration which both start January 5. I'll post projects I've made with the new products as soon as possible.

Stamp Camp Project #1

My Delightful Decorations Stamp Camp was Monday night and everyone had a fun time stamping and using the stamp set and matching punch. I think one of the favorite things they used and learned was the Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint from the Holiday Mini catalog (item #116806). Get a mini mister bottle and mix 7 drops of Shimmer Paint and about 1 oz of rubbing alcohol--mine was 70% alcohol. The picture doesn't do it justice, but what a beautiful result! The card size is 4.25 x 4.25.



STAMPIN' SUPPLIES USED:
~Real Red Textured Cardstock
~Chocolate Chip Cardstock
~Whisper White Cardstock
~Flocked DSP from the Christmas Cocoa Specialty paper

~Real Red Classic Ink

Have a terrific Thursday!
