Di GIbbs Christmas Card Class - Part Two

Happy Monday My Blogger Friends and Welcome to my blog.  Today I will be sharing the next three cards that I made at Di Gibbs 10/10/20 Christmas Card Class.......Let's get this party started......
Here's a re-cap of all ten cards we made at Di's Christmas Card Class.  As you can see - there isn't one card that isn't beautiful and well worth considering to make for your upcoming Christmas Card collection.  Let me share the next three cards with you........
First card up for today is a card that I think would be "PERFECT" to make if you needed to make LOTS of Christmas cards.  It's super easy to MASS-PRODUCE ..... let me share the details with you.

We started with a Crumb Cake base card and added another Crumb Cake layer over the top of our base card that was cut 1/4" smaller than our A2 card to the top 2/3 portion of our card.  The bottom 1/3 portion of our card was cut out from Riding Hood Red Cardstock and run through the Big Shot using the Stripes Textured Impression Embossing Folder (page 218).
We wrapped a piece of 1-1/4" Black Striped Grossgrain Ribbon around our card and stamped the Welcome Christmas (page 36) stamp set in basic black ink.  Our "Season's Greetings" comes fro the Curly Cute (page 168) stamp set.  This is an awesome stamp set that I think every stamper should own - totally has a sentiment for every occasion!
Our next card is a beautiful little surprise that uses the "Holly Berry Bouquet" Designer Series Paper on the top portion of our card and matches it up with a panel of Cherry Cobbler cardstock.  We added a piece of 1-/14" Cherry Cobbler Striped Grossgrain Ribbon around the center of our card and tied a knot off to the side......
The real WOW FACTOR came from the "Christmas Lodge" stamp set. We stamped the sentiment from this set on Very Vanilla cardstock using Early Espresso ink.  We then stamped the sentiment a second time on some Wild Wasabi cardstock and we then cut out the "Happy Holidays" portion of this stamped sentiment and made a thin banner to add over our original stamped image on the Very Vanilla piece.  TALK ABOUT A TOTAL WOW FACTOR....Love this technique!
And the last card I'll be sharing with you today is a card using the "Letters to Santa" (page 186) DSP and another stripe of the 1-/1/4" Cherry Cobbler Grossgrain Ribbon across the center of our card.
The stamp set we used is from the "Merry and Type" (page 31) set.  We stamped that in Cherry Cobbler and used dimensionals to pop both of those frames up.  We used a non-traditional color (Marina Mist) for our base card and added Early Espresso as a seondary color along with our traditional Whisper White cardstock.  AWESOME CARD and yet another one of those cards that could be easily MASS-PRODUCED and leave us feeling HAPPY that we made our Holiday card for another year.
THANKS for joining me today - I'll be back tomorrow for more cards from my 10/10/20 Christmas Card Class - Hope you can join me. 
Keep Living Your Dream!
