Stamp Ink Paper challenge #56 - Christmas in July

Hello everyone,

Welcome to this weeks themed challenge, Christmas in July.  Its very timely as I love to start making my Christmas cards early and I encourage my girls also by running a Christmas in July card class which I'm currently preparing.

We would love for you to join us at Stamp Ink Paper with your Christmas creations.




Here's my Christmas in July card collection for the challenge.  You only have to make one project.  I was on a roll.



The materials I used were cardstock of Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla and Gold Foil.  Inks were Garden Green and Cherry Cobbler.  The patterned paper was from the new specialty paper called This Christmas.  Stamps were Falling Flowers and Oh What Fun.  Framelits were May Flowers, Christmas Greeting thinlits and Wonderful Wreath.  Here's a picture of each of my cards.



 I've used additional Gold Ribbon on this card above and a Gold Glimmer brad from my stash.





I've used the new SU Holly embossing folder on Very Vanilla background for the Joy card above.




I also used some of last years Home for Christmas enamel dots for flower centres.

We hope you will join us at Stamp Ink Paper and look forward to seeing what you make.

Hello Everyone, Welcome to our Wednesday card sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Here's our sketch this week    I'm using some designer papers called Merry Moments combined with Festival of Trees stamp and greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  The cardstock used is Whisper White and Smoky Slate with inks of Old Olive and Real Red.  The greeting comes from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and has been punched out with the Washi Tape punch. Here's a closer look.  I love how the Designer papers add so much colour this this card.  The Festival of trees stamp has been combined with the Tree punch for this card. Thanks so much for joining me this week to view my card.  For more inspiration please visit the Paper Craft Crew challenge and see what our other Designers have created this week. Have a great day.

Light up your Christmas

Hi Everyone, You all know how I love my Easel Cards right?  Well I've added a little light to them in the form of the little battery operated candles.  Neil bought me some boxes of them online.  I've been playing around with a couple of different designs which are for an upcoming class of very Special Christmas cards with my group but thought you might like to see them.  This is the first one I've done using the retired stamp set Christmas Lodge.  It's a gorgeous set with this beautiful tree and really suits a vintage style Christmas Card.  I've also used the Deco Label Framelits which are fast becoming a favourite and the Beautifully Baroque and Fancy Fan Embossing Folders. The Cardstock is Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla. I have the light on so you can see the gorgeous effect from the little candle.  Here is a photo when it's off. This is how it looks from the side.  It's like a tent.  Extra card was added to the len
