Announcing a Christmas Stamp a Stack Series!

Today I am announcing a class series I'll be running in October, November, and December. This series of classes will be online/through the mail, so anyone can join in! Each month, the class will include supplies to make 12 cards. In October and November, the cards will be Christmas cards, and December's class will be Christmas-themed thank you cards. If you participate all three months, you'll get a special gift from me in December!

#GDP309: A Black & White Christmas

This week's color challenge at Global Design Project is right up my ally - black and white with a pop of color! 

 

My first thought was to add a little bit of pink - I love that color combination! But laying in bed the other night, the idea for this card came to me, and I switched gears. When does your inspiration happen? I often think of my best ideas while laying in bed at night before I go to sleep. (Or, let's be honest, when I'm laying awake in the middle of the night, trying to distract myself from worrying about something.) Anyways... here is my card:

 

This card turned out exactly how I wanted it to! That Real Red Ruffled Ribbon is SO pretty - in fact, after I used it, several of my kids asked for a piece! 

 

Here is a full list of the products I used:

Stamps: Evergreen Elegance

Ink: Memento Black

Paper: Thick Basic White, Basic White, Basic Black, Pattern Party Host DSP

Embellishments: Real Red Ruffled Ribbon, Cute Stars Adhesive Backed Sequins

Tools: Versamark, White Embossing Powder, Heat Tool

Adhesives: Stampin' Seal+, Stampin' Dimensionals

Happy Stamping!
