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

Enjoy!

 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

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

Supplies:
Owl Builder Punch
Medium Oval Punch
Whisper White Cardstock
Cherry Cobbler Cardstock
Basic Black Cardstock
Soft Suede Cardstock
Pink Pirouette Cardstock

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!
