Highdesert Stamper – Artistic Inkspirations

Here are some new listings in my Etsy shop. Blank Holiday cards and new Calendars for 2012

Visit my shop for more items.

Creative Sketches had two different sketches to pick from. One was a TRI-FOLD card/page, the other a 1/2 sheet scrapbook page. Here is the sketch I chose to work from:

This is the TRI-FOLD mini photo card. I don’t have any grand children around who visit so I can take pics, so I chose to use my daughter’s little Rat Terrier.. Mr Tucker. He’s like a grandson anyway… he follows me EVERYWHERE!! Even to my stamp room!

I used a 4×12 piece of textured real red cardstock, scored at 4″, 8″ and some embellisments from the Letters To Santa Accents pack.

I added some bling with the SILVER GLIMMER paper, peeling the back layer to be able to punch out the snowflakes. I also used some around Mr Tucker’s picture to highlight it. Stockings were punched using the Letters to Santa paper and the Stocking punch. I added some of the new ruffled in-color Lucky Limeade ribbon along the right side of the last panel. Tucker’s just laying there waiting for Santa to come fill his stocking with “low fat, sweet potato treats”.. He loves those.

Here’s how it looks standing up. That’s the nice thing about making a tri-fold card like this…you can do one for each member of the family and line them all up on the mantel or a book case on display!

How bout some closeups of the pages? … page 1

Last panel with the rest of his stockings!!

I hope you get some ideas using this tri-fold format.. it’s an easy way to make a “quick photo book” and send it off to those who never get to see you! Be sure to leave a comment and go back and check out the rest of the ladies projects HERE.

Be sure to check out my Holiday Accessory Share… and get your share of all the goodies!! RIGHT HERE.

We had a nice creative class this past weekend. I had a special project for the Ladies to make in addition to their cards, boxes and treat bags. They got to make the Halloween Book I had made for the SUSTARS BLOG HOP!!

Here are all the goodies the gals got to make!

First is the Halloween book

Next, a set of boxes

And then a few cards:

And finally a Treat Bag from a std lunch bag:

They all did a wonderful job on their projects!! Sometimes I throw in an extra project for the gals to make… like the Halloween scrapbook they made this time. So now they’re asking.. WHEN’S THE NEXT PROJECT CLASS!?!?!?

Leave a comment… have a nice day!
