I made up for the simplicity on these cards by going way into detail on the gift bag and tag. Slowed them down big time with lots of sewing and little details, but I think they liked the finished product.
So, back to the cards, I wanted to stress that quick can still be cute-- right?? Our cards involved lots of paper piecing.
This particular card involved stamping the ornament a few times and cutting it out. But even still, it was still faster I think that coloring and blending the ornament many times! To jazz it up a notch, just stickle up that little heart, or add some Spica pen to it.
Here's two that didn't make the cut for the class, but they still fit the theme, so I thought I'd share them here. Also, several of the girls at class purchased the stamp set, and I wanted them to have a few more ideas to go along with their new stamps!
You know I love white space cards.... this has just a dash of Scenic Route across the top, and some black scallops and grosgrain ribbon for a little pop. Again, stickle up those hearts, or add a little diamond glaze for some shine.
Lastly, here's one more lotsa white card.
I thought those trees were just so cute with patterned paper, and happened to have just a few scraps of Scenic Route Roxbury to get the job done. We'd done them in class with solid green cardstock, but patterned paper is super fun too!
Hope you have a great day, and thanks for dropping by!

These are all beautiful! They are simple, but not plain at all. I love all of the pattern paper you used.
I love each and every one of these cards!! They are just my style - I love the papers you used to piece with.
I loved the projects we made in class. Eventhough there's some cutting involved to paper piece the images, it went surprisingly quick! The gift bag is so nice that I don't want to give it away.
Thanks for another fabulous class!
