Signs of Santa for Christmas Card Buffet Class

This coming Saturday, I will be doing a Christmas Card Buffet class and I needed one last sample for it. I had several beautiful cards and I needed one more cute design, so I got out the Signs of Santa stamp set to see what I could come up with. Now with a Card Buffet, the class members are completing up to 16 cards in 3 hours so they have to be fairly simple to do. I hope this one will be okay if I do some of the die cutting ahead of time. It not only features the Signs of Santa bundle but also the Hometown Greetings Edgelit dies for the village.

You can see how I created that here:

• I die cut the one edgelit twice, once in Poppy Parade and once in Whisper White. I trimmed off the trees on both die cuts, because there are no trees at the North Pole, right? and then I also trimmed the snowman off the red piece and all the houses off the white one. Then I adhered them together so that the white would make the ground snowy instead of red. 
• This was mounted on a Whisper White panel run through the Big Shot with the Softly Falling Embossing Folder.
• I stamped the sentiment from Signs of Santa at the bottom first, in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
• Santa and the signpost images were stamped in the same ink and coloured in with Stampin' Write Markers: I used Poppy Parade, Crushed Curry, Pool Party, Crumb Cake, Powder Pink and Blushing Bride. 
• These two images and the three large snowflakes were die cut with framelits from the Santa's Signposts Framelits and added to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals and the mini versions as well. 
• Rhinestones were added to the center of the snowflakes. This panel was adhered to a Poppy Parade card base.

Hometown Greetings Lumiere for Free Newsletter Tutorial

This past week, we were up in northern BC visiting our daughter, her husband and their family - our two grandkids, Kesten and Cedar! It was a lovely visit and came to and end much too quickly. We didn't take many photos, (too busy having fun) but here are a few:

Cedar is planning to go out on Halloween dressed as Merida, from the Disney movie, Brave! Kristen made her whole costume except for the wig and the bow which were ordered. The funny thing is that it's the perfect character for Cedar. She is just as feisty as Merida, but she is full of sweetness as well and we got lots of hugs and snuggles. Kesten is adjusting to full day Kindergarten and didn't like having to be at school while Grandma and Gramps were there. We tried to make up for it after school. His costume for Halloween is a triceratops which, you guessed it, his mom made as well!

However, near the end of the visit, both Gramps and Grandma came down with the same nasty respiratory bug that Kris and her family have been fighting. I'm still quite sick, so blog posts are a bit of a nightmare to do. The weird thing is that this bug has also affected my eyesight, so I struggle to focus clearly on anything which makes stamping, die cutting, photography, editing, and typing a real ordeal. So please cut me some slack if I miss a typo or punctuation mark. I truly cannot see it properly.

I want to share with you a project that will be the free photo tutorial for my November newsletter. It's a Christmas card/lumiere, standard sized, made with the Hometown Greetings Edgelits Dies and the Hearts Come Home stamp set.

Take a closer look:

The two photos show the inside of the card in two lighting conditions: full light and candle light. Of course, I use only battery powered tea lights!!
