Season of Joy Wreath - One Hour Card Class 081 - OHCC081


I found this card on Pinterest.  It grabbed my fancy.  Hope you like it too.  Lovely Lipstick would have been my choice of color to use but I don’t have any just yet!

Stamps: Christmas Pines, Colorful Seasons.

Cardstock: Rose Red, White, Smoky Slate, Basic Gray.

Ink: Rose Red.

Tools: Stamparatus, bone folder, purchased envelope, ¼” Basic Gray Shimmer Ribbon (SAB 2018), dimensionals, Tombow adhesive, snail adhesive, mini glue dots, silver sequins, Cable Knit embossing folder.

Punches/Dies: Cupcake Cutouts Framelits Dies, Seasonal Layers Thinlits, Flourish Thinlits, Swirly Scribbles Thinlits.

Cut Smoky Slate cardstock 5” x 4”.  Lightly spritz the back of the panel with water, then blot it with a paper towel. While it was still damp, run it through the Cable Knit embossing folder. When completely dry, trim panel to 5” x 3-3/4”. 


I die cut the largest circle from the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits in the center of my Rose Red panel. Die cut one medium snowflake from the Seasonal Layers Thinlits using Basic Gray cardstock scraps. From white scraps, die cut the smallest snowflake from the Seasonal Layers Thinlits and 3 berry stems from the Flourish Thinlits. 


Stamp the phrase from the Christmas Pines stamp set on a white scrap, adhere to a scrap of Basic Gray and add dimensionals.

Adhere a bow to the wreath with mini glue dots.  Add silver sequins to the card front.


Stamp a phrase from the Christmas Pines stamp set in Rose Red ink using the Stamparatus. Stamp a few snowflakes from the Colorful Seasons stamp set using Basic Gray ink.  Adhere to the inside of the card.  Decorate an envelope with the same snowflake images from the Colorful Seasons stamp set.

Approximate size 15” high x 11” 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.

Flurry of Wishes - One Hour Card Class 080 - OHCC080


We made a card similar to this one at the last Workshop my friend held.  I switched it up to work with what I had.  And yes, it uses a retired stamp set but it was what I had!

Stamps: Flurry of Wishes (2017/18).

Cardstock: Gorgeous Grape, White.

Ink: Gorgeous Grape, Versamark.

Tools: Stamparatus, bone folder, purchased envelope, Tombow adhesive, snail adhesive, glue dots, sequins, Decorative Dots embossing folder, Iridescent Ice embossing powder,

Punches/Dies: Delicate Lace Edgelits (2018/19), Blizzard Thinlits Die (Holiday 2018).


Cut White cardstock 5-1/4” x 4” for the outside of the card.  Set up the panel and phrase on the Stamparatus.  I wanted to emboss with dye inks so here is what I did: Ink the phrase using Versamark ink.  Lightly tap some Gorgeous Grape ink on top of that and stamp on the panel.  Heat emboss with Iridescent Ice EP.  Adhere to card front.  Set aside.


Cut a Gorgeous Grape panel at 5-1/4” x 3-3/4”.  Pencil mark at ½” from the left edge and 2-1/4” from the right edge.  Line the Delicate Lace Edgelit with the pencil marks and die cut.  Run through the Decorative Dots embossing folder. Trim to fit card.  Adhere to card front. 


Die cut 3 different snowflakes from the Blizzard Die.  Arrange to the card front.  Add sequins.


Cut a White panel at 5-1/4” x 4” for the inside of the card.  Ink the largest snowflake from the Flurry of Wishes stamp set with Gorgeous Grape ink, stamp off then stamp on panel.  Over stamp with a phrase from the same stamp set in full strength Gorgeous Grape ink. Adhere to the inside of the card.


Decorate an envelope with snowflake images in Gorgeous Grape ink.

Buffalo Check Christmas - One Hour Card Class 076 - OHCC076


Fell in love with this card by Mary!  She has a great video on how she did it too! 

Stamps: Buffalo Check, Reason for the Season (Holiday 2015), Winter Woods.

Cardstock: Cherry Cobbler, Mossy Meadow, Crumb Cake, Gold Glitter paper. 

Ink: Mossy Meadow, Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler, Cherry Cobbler marker.

Tools: Stamparatus, bone folder, purchased envelope, sponge dauber, dimensionals, 5/8” Striped Burlap Trim (Holiday 2018), Tombow adhesive, snail adhesive, glue dots, rhinestones, Pinewood Planks embossing folder, Linen Thread, Gold Metallic Thread, Take Your Pick Tool, Mod Podge.

Punches/Dies: Pretty Pines Thinlits, Layering Squares Framelits, Sprig punch (Holiday 2018),

I don’t have the Cross-Stitched Christmas stamp set so I used what I had, which unfortunately, has retired. 



Sponging the edges of both panels really adds to the rustic look! 

Because I don’t have the Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blend, I painted 3 large pearls with Mod Podge. Once dry, I colored them with my Stampin’ Write Cherry Cobbler marker. This is not necessary to do if you are using alcohol markers such as Sharpies or SU! Blends to color your pearls but it really makes the Stampin’ Write marker colors ‘cling’ to the pearl. 

I used my bow maker to make my bows. 

I stamped the envelope flap with the Buffalo Check background in Mossy Meadow using Mary’s cool trick in her video.  The inside phrase is from the same retired set as the outside phrase.

Glittering Snowflake Blizzard - One Hour Card Class 078 - OHCC078


A very simple card to put together with lots of glitz!

Stamps: Winter Woods, Christmas Pines.

Cardstock: Coastal Cabana, White.

Ink: Coastal Cabana, Versamark.

Tools: Coastal Cabana Thick Baker’s Twine, Die brush, Stamparatus, bone folder, purchased envelope, dimensionals, Tombow adhesive, snail adhesive, mini glue dots, White embossing powder, Silicone Craft Sheet, Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet, Wink of Stella.

Punches/Dies: Stitched Shapes Framelits, Blizzard Thinlits Die (Holiday 2018).

Cut Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet and Coastal Cabana cardstock at 5-1/2” x 4-1/4”.  Adhere the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet to the Coastal Cabana panel.
Cut a White panel at 5-1/2” x 4-1/4” and die cut with the Blizzard Thinlits Die then adhered that to the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet. I trimmed to 5-1/4” x 4” before sprinkling with Dazzling Diamonds. 

I used the Stamparatus and Versamark ink to stamp the sentiment on Coastal Cabana cardstock and then embossed using white embossing powder. Die cut using the Stitched Shapes Framelits and added dimensionals.  I also added tiny pearls to the 3 snowflakes.

I happen to have some Coastal Cabana Thick Baker’s Twine left over from when it was an In Color a few years ago so I used that to make a bow!

Stamp a phrase from the Christmas Pines stamp set in Coastal Cabana ink using the Stamparatus for the inside of the card.  Color the word ‘sparkle’ with Wink of Stella.  Used the snowflakes from the same stamp set on the envelope.

Love all the glitz!
