Preparing for Holiday Stamp-a-Stack

It's been a while, but I'm back to a little stamping.  I'm preparing for my annual holiday stamp-a-stack (SAS) in December as well as making cards for the Ralston Hall Mansion - Home for the Holidays fundraiser (I will be one of the vendors at their boutique).  To get some inspiration, I'm using one of Craft Project Central's monthly card challenge (Creating Pretty Cards).

Bleach Stamping Card and Technique and Holiday Card Idea

Bleach is not only for cleaning... you can use it with your stamps.  Bleach stamping works well with dark colored card stock.  Here is picture of a card and technique page using bleach stamping.  I also added some shimmer to this card and technique page. Subscribe for the month of November to get the instructions and details at Craft Project Central. 

Bleach Stamping Card and Technique page designed by Zeva

Normally, I have a holiday stamp-a-stack, but this year, I've been really busy with work, kid activities, and volunteering.  Hopefully, this will help those who will miss my class this year.  This card is almost exactly the same as the one created with the bleach technique.

Stampin' Up! Supplies (unless noted):

• Card Stock: Always Artichoke, Riding Hood Red, River Rock
• Stamp Set: Lovely As a Tree, Snow Swirled
• Ink: Always Artichoke, Riding Hood Red 
• Accessories: 3/8" Riding Hood Taffeta Ribbon (retired), Mini Glue Dots, Stampin' Dimensionals

Holiday Stamp-A-Stack

I finally had my Holiday Stamp-A-Stack (SAS) last week and here are the three card designs. Everyone made 5 cards each. I try to teach something during the SAS and here are some of the new things the attendees learned:
- Stamping positioner along with the grid paper
- Masking
- Using the Circle Scissor Plus
- Shimmer Paint


For the reindeer card, you probably can't see it from the photo, but the reindeer has Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint stamped over the Soft Suede. The tree card appeard to be the most challenging; mainly because of getting the greeting lined up straight. The ornament card uses the Chocolate Cocoa Speciality Paper which features flock. Let me know if you want more details on the cards.
