I managed to make all of my cards. I’ve got nothing else done, but at least I have a few satisfied customers. This year I am promising myself to get started in January. I will not put away my holiday stamps – I willl make 10 a month. It’s never too early to make New Years Resolutions.

Here’s a smattering of the cards I’ve made…

A Muse Stamps: Tree Lot, Fetch the Tree, Big Bl. I saw a similar idea on someone’s Blog somewhere at some point… they used the car with the tree on top driving away from the Tree Lot.

Don’tcha just love the glossy accents on the bulbs? I’ve been going a little crazy with the faux stitching this year… on almost every card I made! Here’s a close-up of the bulbous beauty…

 Okay, one more before I go wrap presents…

While in Seattle in October I had the privilege of taking a class from A Muse Yoda herself, Julie Ebersole. Julie taught us how to make a cute little tri-fold card with the Scor-Pal and when I got home I knew I had to adapt her idea to teach in a class of my own.

Here is the card that I made, inspired by a fall themed card that Julie taught…

A Muse Stamps: Cool Yule, Snowy Peaks, Squirrel on Skis

Unfortunately I didn’t have a Martha Stewart Winter Trees punch – that would’ve come in handy. Instead I used an AccuCut die to cut out 5 of those little trees. Then I cut out 65 more for the class. Yikes.

Hope you’re all enjoying your holidays so far – hard to believe Christmas is just 12 days away. Merry Merry!
