Christmas Ornaments in a Side Spring Card

Yesterday afternoon I had my monthly card class and the ladies enjoyed making a new style card called the "side spring card".

With a few scores lines and then valley and mountain folds in the right place we made a card like this:  

Here are two more "side spring cards" with slightly different designs.

Supplies:
Stamps: Delightful Decorations, Come to Bethlehem
Ink: Gumball Green, Cherry Cobbler, 
Cardstock: Gumball Green, Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla, Early Espresso Core'dinations
DSP: Be of Good Cheer
Punch: Ornaments
Other: Simple Scored Scoring Tool, Lacy Brocade Embossing Folder, Sanding Block, Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine, Dimensionals

If you would also like to attend a class to learn how to make this card, please contact me by email thepalmersangela@gmail.com

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a great week.

Delightful Ornaments

In a couple of weeks I will be doing a workshop with some elderly people and so I thought we would make a small Christmas card (3 1/2" x 3 1/2") using the new ornament stamp set and punch I bought recently.  I have made a few different ones to see what I like the best.

Here are all three:

Supplies:

Stamps: Delightful Decorations, Come to Bethlehem

Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Gumball Green

Cardstock: Whisper White, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler

Punches: Ornament

Other: Markers, Lacy Brocade Embossing Folder, Dimensionals

Here they are in more detail.

First card:

This first one uses very vanilla cardstock, although it is probably hard to tell in the photo.  This is probably my personal favourite as I think it is a bit more elegant with just the very vanilla and cherry cobbler and without the gumball green.


Second card:

With this card I thougth I would include two different colours of ornaments and use whisper white card.


Third card: 

This final card also uses whisper white and has the ornaments the opposite way around.  I have also added the the string to hang the ornament from with matching markers.  I wonder if it spoils it a bit.  I think adding some Baker's Twine would be good, but I don't have it in gumball green and it would be a bit fiddle to do with the elderly group, but probably effective.  I will have to try that one too sometime.

Which one is your favourite?
