More Christmas cards...

OMG I hear you say, three updates in a week!! Well I have managed to schedule these posts as Lily is having a nap!

Here is another card we made at class, a rather simple but classy card, using the Heart of Christmas stamp, with the Label Framelits Die. The colours used here were Chocolate Chip and Real Red. The different coloured writing was done using the Stampin' write in Read Red. This was done by first stamping the whole image in Chocolate Chip, then with a wet wipe just cleaning the part you would like in a different colour, voila one stamp yet a variety of ways of using it!



I do have a couple of more cards to show you but I hope to make a couple of gifts and my own Christmas cards over the next few days using Christmassy photos of Lily, so if they do turn out how I imagine them to, I will share these with you next!

Thanks for popping by,

Christmas Cards continued...

As promised here is another Christmas card we made at class. We used some retired Christmas designer series paper I had and used the Scensational Seasons Stamp Set and matching Holiday Framelits Die for the Tree and Star, Labels Framelits Die for the red background. The presents came from a new non-Christmas stamp set called Patterned Party.




The colour combos here were: Lucky Limade, Real Red, Tempting Turquoise  and the Red Glitter card for the star.

Another Christmas card will be shared over the next few days...

Cards for Christmas...

Here we are again, Christmas round the corners and crafters frantically making their cards in time to send before the last post. I'm afraid to say I am one of those who always have good intentions, round about July time to make as many cards as I possibly can but always end up doing something else! So watch out next July as there will be a 'Stamp a Stack' to get those Christmas cards ready!

Well, if you were one of the crafters who attend my monthly class you would have at least 5 done, including a little gift box. Over the next few days I will be sharing with you the cards we made.

The first is a lovely simple card using the 'Lovely as a Tree' set. If you scroll back I have used this stamp set quite a lot for different occasions, again another versatile set that comes out when I'm not sure where to start.






We have used Not Quite Navy Card and ink, stamping the trees in Whisper White Ink and using the diamond glitter for the snowy mountain feel!

Pop back soon to see another card we made at class. If you are interested in joining us, the next class will be on the 8th of January 2013.
Until next time take care,
