I’ve been busy stamping and planning out all the details for my 2nd Annual Stanta Stamp-a-Stack! A few of the cards were ones that I came across on the internet and they were so perfect that I pretty much “cased” them exactly!! I will provide the link to the original creators.

CARD # 1 – FrostyFrom the lady who turned “Frankie” into an overnight sensation . . . Dawn Griffith now brings us “Frosty!” Isn’t he the CUTEST?? Oh, my gosh, the second I saw him I knew he would have to be part of my Santa Stamp-a-Stack! I didn’t change a lot on him . . . except I used the Large Star punch to create the nose. I thought that made it look a bit more like a carrot!Stamps: All Holidays (contains the Christmas sentiment stamped on the inside of the card) Paper: Whisper White, Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red Ink: Pretty in Pink, Basic Black (used for the sentiment on the inside) Accessories: Sponge Dauber, White Gel Pen, Two-Way Glue Pen, Trio Flower Punch, 1 3/8″ Circle Punch, 1″ Circle Punch, 1/2″ Circle Punch, Large Star Punch
CARD # 2 – Formal ScandinavianI love how Lauri Hamden used white accents on her Scandinavian Season card that you can see on her blog called Paperville. I was so inspired by that card that I had to create my own version for my Santa Stamp-a-Stack. Isn’t it awesome?? I just love how it looks like a Black Tie Christmas event! Stamps: All Holidays (contains the Christmas sentiment stamped on the inside of the card), Scandiavian Season Paper: Whisper White, Basic Black, Real Red Ink: Basic Black (also used for the sentiment on the inside) Accessories: White Gel Pen, Pretties Kit Rhinestone Brad, 1/4″ Red Grosgrain RibbonCARD # 3 – Cardinal ChristmasWhoo Hoo! This card is my own design!! I was trying to come up with a card that featured the stamp set called A Cardinal Christmas, but did not have to be watercolored thus making it easier to mass produce. I think it turned out so beautifully!Stamps: A Cardinal Christmas Paper: Riding Hood Red, Whisper White, Baja Breeze, Night of Navy, Ski Slope DSP Ink: Riding Hood Red, Night of Navy (both colors are also used for stamping the sentiment and the decoration on the inside) Accessories: Riding Hood Red Taffeta Ribbon, Dimensionals
CARD # 4 – A Merry SeasonAll the credit for this card goes to Traci Gentry, a SU demonstrator who has a knack for making beautiful yet easy to create cards. I really didn’t change a thing except I used felt ribbon instead of grosgrain. It is one of my favorite cards of the season – so easy to make and absolutely beautiful!! Stamps: Season of Friendship, Best Yet (level one hostess set for the sentiment) Paper: Riding Hood Red, Whisper White, Baja Breeze, Chocolate Chip Ink: Riding Hood Red, Chocolate Chip, Baja Breeze Accessories: Large Oval Punch, Wide Oval Punch, Scallop Edge Punch, Alpine Ribbon Originals in felt
CARD # 5 – Swirly ChristmasKristen Moore gets the credit for this beauty. I changed just a few things but you can see that I pretty much “cased” her!! Case means to “Copy And Share Everything!” Thank goodness for demonstrators who share their great talents on their blogs. It’s a way we all help each other out . . . even though we may live 100’s of miles away from each other!Stamps: Baroque Motifs, Punches Three (level one hostess set for the sentiment) Paper: Basic Gray, Rose Red Prints DSP, Naturals White Ink: Rose Red Accessories: 1 3/4″ Circle Punch, Scallop Square Punch, Dimensionals

CARD # 6 – 4-Square ChristmasAnother awesome stamper is Gina Rallo who created this card that I cased and modified just a bit. I love the sketch and whenever you can use punches in your creation . . . it makes for faster stamping! My card has one less layer of dimensionals to make for easier mailing.Stamps: Baroque Motifs, Punches Three (level one hostess set for the sentiment) Paper: Kiwi Kiss, Night of Navy, Rose Red, Glossy White, Bella Rose DSP Ink: Rose Red, Night of Navy Accessories: Scallop Square Punch, Dimensionals, 1/4″ Night of Navy GrosgrainCard #7 – Nature’s Winter PostYeah – let’s hear it for me! lol! A card I came up with all by myself!! One of my most favorite stamp sets this holiday season is Winter Post that is featured as one of Shelli’s favorites in the Holiday Mini. It has all of my favorite things: nature, vintage syle, a beautiful snowflake, and a postal feel. So, so cool!!Stamps: Winter Post, Heard from the Heart (sentiment), All Holidays (inside sentiment) Paper: Whisper White, Bashful Blue, Creamy Caramel, Chocolate Chip, Real Red Ink: Whisper White Craft, Chocolate Chip Accessories: Snowflakes Set #2 Sizzlets Die Four Pack, Big Shot Machine, Stamp-a-ma-jig, Photo Corner Punch, BoHo Blossoms Punch (to make the heart from), Dimensional cut down to attach the heart

Card #9 – Merry & Bright

Back to Kristen Moore’s blog for another cased creation. I put my own twist on it by changing the stamp set, adding a ribbon and using only one circle scallop. The minute I saw her card, I just went “Aaahhh.” One of those moments when something is so cute . . . you just can’t help sighing and saying Aaahhh!

Stamps: Merry & Bright, Snow Jumbo Wheel, Sincere Salutations (sentiment on the inside) Paper: Whisper White, Baja Breeze, Basic Gray Ink: Basic Black, Whisper White Craft, Basic Gray (to color the hat), Baja Breeze (to color the hat) Accessories: White Taffeta Ribbon, Scallop Circle Punch, Wide Oval Punch, Top Note Die, Big Shot Machine, Dimensionals, sponge, Blender Pen for coloring the hat and scarf


Card #10 – Cozy Holiday Home
Deb Kemp gave me the idea to put a strip of designer series paper onto the paper that you plan to use in your Big Shot. I love how this turned out!! My card was inspired by her card as you can surely see, but mine turned into a full sized A-2 card.

Stamps: To You & Yours Paper: Kraft, Riding Hood Red, Chocolate Chip, Natural White, Ski Slope DSP Ink: Chocolate Chip, Whisper White Craft Accessories: Chocolate Chip Taffeta Ribbon, Wide Oval Punch, Top Note Die, Big Shot Machine, Dimensionals, sponge
