Stable Foundation Rustic Sign


Approximate size 16” wide x 7” high, pine.  I make no attempt to hide the character of the wood when painting rather, I love letting the wood grain and knots show through to accentuate each piece!  As this and all other items in my album are handmade one by one, no two pieces will be identical. They will be as close as possible to the item shown in the photo.  It has a Sawtooth Picture Hanger on the back for easy hanging.

For Unto Us A Child is Born Rustic Sign


Approximate size 7" high x 18” wide, pine.  It has a Saw tooth Picture Hanger on the back for easy hanging. This is a real wood product and like all things in nature each piece will have its own distinctive color tones, lines, knots and imperfections. No two pieces are identical.  The saying/font/design will be the same.  As this and all other items in my album are handmade one by one, no two pieces will be identical.

Buffalo Check Goes Plaid - One Hour Card Class 082 - OHCC082


Stamps: Winter Woods, Suite Seasons (2016 Holiday), Buffalo Check.

Cardstock: Shaded Spruce, Merry Merlot (Cherry Cobbler), Very Vanilla, Joyous Noel 6” x 6” Glimmer Paper in Copper (Holiday 2018).

Ink: Shaded Spruce marker, Shaded Spruce, Merry Merlot (Cherry Cobbler).

Tools: Ruler, Stamparatus, bone folder, purchased envelope, dimensionals, Tombow adhesive, snail adhesive, regular and mini glue dots, Merry Merlot and Copper 5/8” Reversible Ribbon (Holiday 2018), Subtle embossing folder, Silicone Craft Sheet.

Punches/Dies: Sprig Punch, Stitched Shapes Framelits, Layering Ovals Framelits, Thinlits Die.

Jodi’s card gave me a start for my card.  I really wanted to use the new Glimmer Paper in Copper and the Reversible Ribbon (both from the Holiday 2018) on my card. 

I cut a Very Vanilla panel at 5” x 4” and again at 3-1/4” x 4”.

Lightly spritz the back of the smaller Vanilla panel with water, then blot it with a paper towel. While it was still damp, run it through the Subtle embossing folder.

Used the Stamparatus to position and stamp the Buffalo Check on the bigger Vanilla panel.  Drew the lines with the marker as Jodi shows then I taped the Vanilla panels together and trimmed it to 3-3/4” x 4”.

White Winter Woods Christmas - One Hour Card Class 079 - OHCC079


Stamps: Winter Woods.

Cardstock: White, Gold Foil, Vellum Cardstock, Sparkle Glimmer Paper, Watercolor (for the snow).

Ink: Versamark.

Tools: Gold embossing powder, 1/8” Gold Metallic Edge Ribbon, Stamparatus, bone folder, purchased envelope, dimensionals, Fine Tip Glue, Tombow adhesive, snail adhesive, mini glue dots, sequins, Piercing Tool, Softly Falling embossing folder, Silicone Craft Sheet.

Run the snow piece through the Softly Falling embossing folder.  Apply Fine-Tip Glue or Tombow Glue to the bumps. Cover with Dazzling Diamonds. 


I ran the vellum piece through the Softly Falling embossing folder as well.  I used the ribbon to hold it to the gold foil – glue shows right through the vellum so it doesn’t work. 


Die cut the 2 spruce trees from white cardstock.  Colored the top spruce tree with Wink of Stella.  Adhered them together with mini dimensionals.  Added lots of sequins. 


Die cut these trees from Sparkle Glimmer Paper.  


Added a bow. 


For the inside of the card, I stamped the phrase from the Winter Woods stamp set with Versamark ink using the Stamparatus then heat emboss with Gold embossing powder.   Ran the flap of the envelope through the Softly Falling embossing folder.
