Ideas for July's classes

Hi Everyone,
I missed out doing Christmas in July with you all, so I thought we could do a Christmas in August instead!, So here goes, I need some input with these, as we'll need to pick 4, and I'd rather they were chosen by you who are coming!
 #1:this one is for sure, because I really love it! and it shows you the baby wipe ink pad technique it uses the new Carols of Christmas stamp set, wow the sayings/fonts in this set are amazing!

#2 this one is growing on me, I wasn't sure that I liked it much when I first did it, but it does show another technique - Versamark resist, with the new/old Glossy White Cardstock. The stamp sets I've used are: Watercolor Words (always makes me cringe spelling colour that way lol) and Star of Light.

#3 Not sure if this is too busy, I really like it but then I'm prone to these colours lol!, and not sure if you can tell but the star in the middle is embossed with gold again using the Star of Light Stamp set Oh and the music notes in the background are the new Sheet Music Background Stamp, every time I see the saying "Star of wonder star of Night" my mind starts singing, so figured very appropriate with the musical notes lol!

#4: Oh Yes we're back to the Carols of Christmas stamp set and framelits this time, how cool are the cut out sky scene and the trees?  Oh and I don't know if you can see, but I've added sparkle to the trees in the form of Wink of Stella Clear.

Moving onto card #5, again I'm not sure how I feel about this card, I wanted to use up the trees that were cut out from the last card, but I'm not sure if the whole thing is a bit too white? what do you think? it does use the same saying as #2, so we can't do both of them!, Again the star and the saying are from the Star of Light Stamp set

#6: this card made me laugh, I just couldn't resist portraying Santa as a Chef, so it uses the ultra cute Stamp set Birthday Delivery and my little Santa, has gold mini sequin trim on his outfit, would have liked white, but didn't have anything I could think of:(  Oh and the saying and cute holly sprigs are from Oh What Fun stamp set

Ok, we're there!  as I was going to add one more, but realised it uses the same stamp as #1 and we're definitely doing that one! lol.
So, now I need you're input, which are your favourites?  Oh, and did you know that the blue writing in these posts are links to the product so you can see what else in the stamp set etc? - although I do recommend opening them in new tabs or windows, so you can carry on reading the blog!

Well that's it from me for now, please let me know which ones you like (hopefully at least 4 appeal!)
I hope it inspires you to create,
God Bless love

Stampin' Up! Christmas Cards for classes in December

Hi Everyone,
Welcome to my new blog, I'm hoping to be able to work out how to offer much more with this blog!
Here are the cards I'll be teaching you in December (obviously focusing on Christmas)!
First up is this cute Cookie Cutter Christmas Card using the Cookie Cutter Christmas Bundle

isn't the reindeer gorgeous?  I've also used the Festive Textured impressions embossing folder  and the Layering Ovals Framelits.

Next up is this beautiful Silver bells card, I'm pleased with this card, I hope you like it tooI couldn't help thinking of the Christmas song my Mum used to sing when I was young called Silver Bells!  I took a close up of the bells so you can see that they are silver embossed too. This card uses the Seasonal Bells bundle and the Softly Falling Embossing folder Oh and to cut the saying at the bottom (which is part of the stamp set) I've used the Bunch of Banners Framelit dies.

I'm so pleased with the cards for this month, This next one I just lurve the dove!

So this card uses the Sunburst Thinlit die to create a mask for the background, And the beautiful Dove comes from Strength and Prayers Stamp set, which has some lovely words in it too, however these words came from Star of Light Stamp set."

And the last card after not using any really "Christmassy" colours I thought I should add some in!

this card uses the Oh What Fun Stamp set, the Hello You thinlit dies, some stars punched out using the Confetti Stars Punch.  I was thinking with die how to attach it to the card, that would be an easy way, and thought how cool it would be to have 3 gold lines behind it, so out came the Tear and Tape Adhesive, And I'm really happy with the way it turned out!

Do let me know your thoughts on these cards.  If you can make it to my classes they are Maryborough (Vic) Saturday 3rd December 10am, Bendigo - Wednesday 7th December 10.30am, and Laanecoorie (my new Classroom!) - Wednesday 14th December at 7.30pm

If you know you can't make it but would like instructions, do ask me, and if anyone would like a kit to create any of these cards let me know

I hope I have inspired you to create :)

God Bless love
