Appreciation card from Classy Cards 'n Such

Joy, here today.  I needed to make a thank you card for a teacher and needed it quick!  The Spellbinders Dies that Classy Cards 'n Such have make it so easy!

For this card I used the Spellbinders Die called Romantic Rectangles and Decorative Labels Eight.  The stamp is from the set called Thanks Sentiments from Impression Obsession.   I cut the large Romantic Rectangle, folded it half and layered the Labels Eight on top of it.  I die cut some of the leaves from Build A Flower #2 from Cheery Lynn Designs and layered them on top with a brad from my stash.  Each piece was sponged on the edge with a little ink.  The Paper is from Lake House.

 Since this was an odd size card, I made an envelope with my Envelope Punch Board (my favorite tool).  When folded the card measured almost 3 x 3 7/8.  It was easy to look on the punch board guide for the right size of paper needed.  I slipped a gift card inside which fit so nicely inside the folded Rectangle.

This really was an easy, quick gift card and envelope to make.

Recap:  Stamp Set:  Thanks Sentiments

              Dies:          Romantic Rectangles

                                Decorative Labels Eight

                                Build A Flower #2

              Tools:        Envelope Punch Board

              Paper:        Lady Rose

                   

Thanks for looking at my card - have a HAPPY stamping day.

Repeat Impression's Last Minute Tag Time

Ok, we are down to the wire for getting our presents wrapped and under the tree.  At Repeat Impressions Wendy makes it easy to do last minute gifts.

I have two friends that I wanted to give a little something to, but did not want it to be complicated or expensive.  I found these Brighton bookmarks - there were 3 in a little tin.  I made tags for them and put them in little envelopes.

Here they are:

I used some little scraps of paper and the sentiment from Repeat Impressions is called Merry Christmas Wishes.

Snow Much Fun

Hi, thought I'd post a quickie card about having fun in the snow.  This is one of my favorite images from Repeat Impressions called Snowmen.  The snowmen are having fun singing.  We don't get much snow in Texas, but a few weeks ago, some parts of Texas were covered.

Now to my card that is being entered into Craft Cardmakers  #106 Winter fun, but not Christmas or New Years.

Come back tonight after 7:00 CST and as one of the Center Stage Spotlight Design Team members of Stamp TV, see what the whole team has created.

Classy Cards 'n Such Snow Card

Hi - Snow anyone?  Joy, here for Classy Cards 'n Such showing you an easy card using supplies from Classy Cards 'n Such.  

I used the Fancy Tags Die from Spellbinders and the sweet sentiment is from Twinkles - one of the sweetest stamp sets for this season.

The paper is some from my stash and I added a snowflake button and slipped the ribbon onto the Fancy Tag after stamping with the Some of My Best Friends Are Flakes sentiment.  WOW - what an easy card when you have supplies from Classy Cards 'n Such.

Thanks for looking at my card - have a HAPPY stamping day.

Classy Cards 'n Such Feather Card #2

Hi, Joy here posting for Classy Cards 'n Such.  I love all the feather items, I've found at the Classy Cards ' Such website.  Today's card uses one of my favorite stamp sets called Birdsong by Sparkle 'n Sprinkle. This stamp set is quite versatile because it has so many feathers, images and 2 sentiments.   The card is quite simple and is quick to make.  I stamped the feathers in several different colors of blue and used one of the sentiments.  I added the little dots with a Tim Holtz Distress Marker in sets of 3.  I got the idea of adding the little dots from the Feathers Folder by Crafts-Too.

Be sure to check out the  feather stamps, embossing folders and dies at Classy Cards 'n Such.  Thank you for looking at my card - have a HAPPY stamping day.

Classy Cards 'n Such Prayers Card

Good Morning, Joy here posting a quick winter card.  While most  of Texas is experiencing "Icemageddon" - some of us are staying warm making cards with suppplies from Classy Cards 'n Such!  I'm glad it's easy to order from them on line and they have super fast shipping!  Here is a card I made to send to a friend. 

I used the Spellbinders dies called Radiant Rectangles and the paper is called Lake House, the bow is made with Eggshell seam binding and 3 Pink Pearls (which are on sale).  The Stamp is from Flourishes, called Anemones.  It has some beautiful flowers and sweet sentiments.

This was an very quick & easy card to make and you can use any of the Spellbinders dies that you layer. This one has a total of 5 layers.   For me the papers make this card special.

Thanks for looking at my card - stay warm!

Classy Cards 'n Such Feather Card #1

Hi, Joy here showing a feather card made with supplies from Classy Cards 'n Such.  While looking on Pintrest I began to see a lot of projects made with feathers.  While looking thru the Classy Cards 'n Such items I found some feather stamps, dies and embossing folders.  Here is a simple and quick one that could be used for a man or woman.

Isn't that embossing folder amazing!  It embosses deeply and the image just pops!  The feather was stamped then cut out and popped up with pop-up glue dots.  Here is the supply list:

Embossing Folder:  Feathers by Crafts Too
Stamp:                     Bird Song by Sparkle 'n Sprinkle

Check out all the feather possibilities at Classy Cards 'n Such.  Thank you for looking at my card.
