Easily Reproducible Christmas Cards - Trees

While I know the holidays are over, I figured I'd post these for those who want to get ready for next year! :)
In November, I offered an "Easily Reproducible Christmas Card" Class.  In the class you got enough material to make up to 48 cards (you could do more if you wanted to add more cardstock too, depending on how you laid everything out!).  This first card is so easy, I made it in my hotel room when I was away on course!

While you could easily use any scraps of cardstock, we used the Festival of Prints Designer Series Paper Stack.

Supplies:

Festival of Prints Designer Series Paper Stack

Cardstock card bases (shown here: Cherry Cobbler, Gumball Green, Island Indigo, Basic Grey and Sahara Sand)

Merry Minis Stampset

Merry Minis Punches

Daffodil Delight Cardstock

Stampin' Trimmer

You can purchase these supplies at my online store at www.lisahenderson.stampinup.net

Heart of Christmas - Holiday Tag Series

 When I was at Regionals this summer, Shelli Gardner, the co-founder and CEO of Stampin' Up! did a version of this tag as her demonstration.  Now, I've modified it a bit to suit the supplies I had on hand (I'd already gone a bit crazy in the holiday catalog!) and to suit the time frames we had for the December tags class, and this is my version (and I love it!  if it weren't so time consuming, every gift would have one!):

Supplies:
Very Vanilla Cardstock
Cherry Cobbler Coredinations Cardstock
Merry Moments Simply Scrappin' Kit
Textured Impressions Embossing Folder Fancy Fan
Window Frames Collection - Framelits #129021
Big Shot
Affection Collection Stampset #127949
Heart of Christmas Stamp #128129
Crumb Cake Ink #121030
Cherry Cobbler Ink #119669
Versamark Ink
Basic Black Embossing Powder
Heat Gun
Stampin' Sanding Block
Crumb Cake Scalloped Tulle Ribbon

Hint:  for the Tulle Ribbon, you will also need a needle and thread!

Reindeer - Holiday Tag Series

This is the last tag we created using the Owl Builder Punch.  And although I'm sure someone else had already thought of the idea, this one came to me in the shower one day, and I think he's pretty cute!

Supplies:
Owl Builder Punch
Soft Suede Cardstock
Whisper White Cardstock
Basic Black Cardstock
Cherry Cobbler Cardstock
Border Banter Stampset
Cherry Cobbler Ink

You can purchase all supplies for this tag at my online store at www.lisahenderson.stampinup.net

Penguin - Holiday Tag Series

This is probably my favorite use of the owl builder punch right now!  He's just so darn cute!  This penguin idea was given to me by some of my workshop attendees -- see you never know what you will learn!  My instructions were to do him in black, white and orange, and snip his ears off.  Glad I listened!

Isn't he cute????

Supplies:

Owl Builder Punch

Basic Black Cardstock

Whisper White Cardstock

Pumpkin Pie Cardstock

Hint:  The easiest way I've found to assemble these is to use the 2 way glue pen.  Its fantastic for all those little pieces!

You can purchase all the supplies for this tag (and many others) at my online store at www.lisahenderson.stampinup.net

Enjoy!

Girl Tag -- Holiday Tag Series

Although this isn't my personal favorite (thats coming soon!), I thought this little girl would be a great way of labelling gifts as well.  You could easily change her hair for each female member of the family.  And its another way of using the owl builder punch!

Supplies:

Owl Builder Punch

Medium Oval Punch

Whisper White Cardstock

Cherry Cobbler Cardstock

Basic Black Cardstock

Soft Suede Cardstock

Pink Pirouette Cardstock

You can purchase all supplies for this tag at my online store at www.lisahenderson.stampinup.net

Holiday Owl - Holiday Tag Series

For the next 4 days, I will be showcasing some of the different tags we made using my personal favorite punch, the owl builder punch.  This first tag is my "holiday" owl:

Supplies:
Owl Builder Punch
Whisper White Cardstock
Basic Black Cardstock
Cherry Cobbler Cardstock
Soft Suede Cardstock
Festival or Prints Designer Series Paper Stack

One of my favorite things about the owl builder punch--it's a great way to use up scrap paper!  So don't be afraid to change the colours around!

You can purchase all supplies at my online store at www.lisahenderson.stampinup.net

Merry Chevrons - Holiday Tag Series

This is the last of the super simple tags from the December Tags class!  But don't worry, there are still more tags to come!  Right now, Chevrons are very popular, particularly in scrapbooking, cardmaking, and clothing, and this little tag has a lot of them!

Supplies:
Border Banter Stampset
Cherry Cobbler Ink
Gumball Green Ink
Whisper White Cardstock

Welcome back for another edition of the Holiday Tag Series!  Another very simple, easily reproduced tag today:

Supplies:
Merry Minis Stampset
Border Banter Stampset
Cherry Cobbler Ink
Gumball Green Ink
Whisper White Cardstock

One hint:  Stamp the centre tree first, and then immediately stamp the second tree before reinking to get the faded effect.  To get the third tree, reink, then stamp on a scrap piece of paper or your craft sheet, and then immediately stamp the third tree before reinking!

All Supplies can be purchased at my online store at www.lisahenderson.stampinup.net

Joy at Christmas - Holiday Tag Series

Hello!
For the next few days, I'm going to be posting the tags we made during our December Tag Class (and there are a lot of them!).  Excuse the poor photos, it's the Christmas Season, and I was in a rush :)
Some tags, like this one, were simpler.  Others were far more complicated.  But I'm going to start with the simple ones, that are easy to reproduce, for that mountain of presents under the tree!
Here is the first tag, Joy at Christmas:

Supplies:

Perfect Punches Stampset

Cherry Cobbler Marker

Basic Grey Marker

Whisper White Cardstock (cut to 4 1/4 x 2 1/8 - perfect for making lots of tags out of a 8 1/2 x 11 piece of cardstock!)

Enjoy!
