Seasons Greetings Snow Flurry

Hi Everyone,

I’ve managed to do the Mojo Monday sketch this week – again just in the nick of time! Here is my card in lovely Very Vanilla, Pool Party and Midnight Muse coloured inks and cardstocks and matching designer papers.

Here is the Mojo Monday Sketch…I chose the square one obviously! lol

It was a great opportunity to play my new Stampin’ Up Sizzix Bigz Die – Snow Flurry, which is in the new Stampin Up Holiday Catalogue. Click the link to go see for yourself what else is in this catalogue – it’s awesome to say the least!

The papers used were from the designer paper pack called Comfort Cafe, which is available in the Annual Catalogue. Again click the link on the side bar to check out all the new stuff!

I’ve decided that I’m addicted to Shimmer Paint! It seems to end up on all my cards recently, whether it’s painted or sprayed in a mist or stamped like I’ve done here with the little star stamp from the new Scentsational Season stamp set (in the Holiday Catalogue too, with some matching dies and scented embossing powder! how fab is that!)

Well that's all from me today – another Christmas Card made and a little play with some of the new products available, Thanks for stopping by.

Merry Christmas

Hi Everyone,

Well it’s not quite Christmas yet, but don’t blink to hard – it might just sneak up on you!
On this card I’ve cut out the sentiment using the X-large Oval punch and layered it on a sizzlit frame from the Lots of Tags sizzlit collection. 

A sketch challenge with the Christmas theme was on the cards at Sunny Challenges and Creations this week. I used the Boho Blossoms punch to create some flower windows in the plain panel to reveal the designer paper underneath.

It gave me a chance to use some new Stampin Up colours called Gumball Green and Summer Starfruit. It’s also given me a chance to use some new papers too – this one is from the Comfort Cafe series. These will all be available in a few days time when the new 2012-2013 Annual Catalogue goes live on September 1st.

I even had a few left-overs to decorate the inside of this card – using the Gumball Green cardstock and some Summer Starfruit coloured Boho Blossom punch flowers. Thanks for stopping by – I hope you like my little preview of some of the new items from Stampin’ Up which are available after September 1st.

Christmas Tag Recycled

Hi Everyone,

A quick share of a card I’ve made using a Christmas present tag that I saved from last year. It was way too pretty to throw out, I only hope it doesn’t go back this year to the same person who gave it to me! Maybe a bit embarrassing!

I also finally purchased the Polka Dots embossing folder and it’s perfect for snow when swiped with White ink. The sentiment was stamped using bits of different sentiments from different sets. I used the Word Window punch to cut them where I needed to. The little black brads finish off the cut edges nicely.

Here’s a close up of the lovely tag and snowy embossing behind it.

I’d like to enter this JFF at Christmas Card Challenges.

Hope it inspires you to get creative too.
