12 Weeks Of Christmas: Week 8 - Four Fold Get Your Santa On


I think I am back on track now with my 12 weeks of Christmas posts.  Here we are at Week 8.  I am beginning to sound like an old lady when I say "wow, hasn't that year flown by" but you know it really has.  This last 18 months has been a real hard time for my kids & I but we are coming out the other side & the sun is shining. We are in a happy place & I am slowly getting my craft mojo back.

Ok enough of the personal stuff.  Wanna see my cute four fold card?


Four Fold Card - Get Your Santa On


This is one of the cards my stamp club ladies will be making this week.  It is kind of a spinner card I guess you would say.  We are doing the inlaid glitter technique by using heat & stick powder & dazzling diamonds & heat setting it.  Bit hard to see on the santa but he is all glittery & sparkly.  

My friend Leonie made a card like this recently & when she came to help out at my Create Your Christmas event she brought it to show me.  Lots of people commented on it, so I really wanted to do something similar.  Please excuse my dodgy photo as I took a quick snap on my kitchen bench before she left so I could figure out how to make it.

 I hope to make a few more of these cards as they are fun & a bit different to your normal card you get in the mail.  Best part is they fold flat & fit in a standard envelope.

Thanks For Looking,

12 Weeks Of Christmas: Week 7 - Nordic Noel Quick Card

Do you need to create lots of cards quickly this Christmas?  I have the perfect quick card for you.  The Nordic Noel DSP in the Holiday Catalogue has a lovely sheet of paper featuring bright & cheery houses.  All I did was cut a strip & add a button & sentiment.  This card was so quick it took me just a few minutes to stick down.

12 Weeks Of Christmas: Week 6 - Holiday Homes Side Step Card


Oh dear, I am just a tad behind on these posts.  I still can't quite get myself out of holiday mode!
Today I am sharing a little creation I have been working on - a Holiday Home side step card.
I had this vision in my head of how I wanted this to look & I am not having any luck recreating that version.  This one will have to do for now.  It is hard to see the dimension in the photo but there is 3 layers. I used quite a few Christmas stamps, including White Christmas, Holiday Home, Festival Of Trees & Wondrous Wreath.



Did you notice the sentiment?  I love that with the photopolymer stamps you can stamp in a row, even though the sentiment is in a block shape.  This sentiment is from Wondrous Wreath & normally looks like this:

Ok, so my stamping is a little crooked but you get the idea, right?  

Thanks For Looking,

12 Weeks Of Christmas: Week 5 - Blended Bearing Gifts


I love a good polar bear stamp don't you?  I was immediately drawn to the cute single stamp in the Holiday Catalogue called Bearing Gifts on page 33.  It gave me the perfect opportunity to practice using my Blendabilities.   I really enjoyed colouring this stamp in - must be the 5 year old in me!   I used the Nordic Noel DSP (also in the holiday Catalogue p.15) for a bright cheery feel.  I kept this card very simple as I wanted that beautiful bear to be the main focal point.  I used a few glimmer stars like the catalogue image, but I wanted a much brighter look so I used the Blendabilities instead of water colouring.  Oh & this post is just in time for a Casing the Catty Challenge too!




Thanks For Looking,

12 Weeks Of Christmas: Week 4 - Christmas Wondrous Wreath Card & A Birthday Version Too


As you know all the Wonderous wreath cards out there are very similar.  Here is my version.  We made this card (well the ladies made 3 actually) at my Create Your Christmas day last weekend.  I find this card to be very rich in colour.  I used Mossy Meadow & Real Red with the Gold Foil sheets.

Wondrous Wreath Christmas Card

I love the Dotty Angles stamp set so this was a perfect opportunity to use it.  There is quite a bit of framelit action here with not only the Wreath but the Banners as well.  

While stamping this card I decided I needed find another use for the wreath.  I made up quite a few different version of birthday cards using the All Abloom DSP stack & flower punches.

How cute is that!  I love that with the addition of the little flower punch from the Itty Bitty Accents punches on the wreath it becomes less Christmassy & more fun.

Thanks For Looking,
