Stamp Ink Paper #5 Christmas in July

Hello Everyone,

We have a great theme for you this week at Stamp Ink Paper.


Here's a pic of a couple of cards made for display at my Christmas in July class held on the weekend.  I didn't previously publish these when I showed a display of some of my cards the other day.  I wanted to keep some surprises for now.  I've made a square card in the front which I'm focussing on for now.  Come and have a look.




This stamp set is called Festival of Trees and I've combined it with the new Christmas paper pack in our Annual catalogue called Merry Moments Designer paper.  The cardstock used is Tip Top Taupe for the base with Real Red and Whisper White.  There is also some Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer used for one of the trees punched with the co-ordinating Tree punch.  Here is a closer look at the main panel.


The ribbon is vintage Pear Pizzazz pleated satin ribbon which I adored at the time and still have a little bit in my stash.  The little bird from the set was stamped and fussy cut.  I've used the Deco Label framelits to cut and mat my trees.

Here is another pic with another one of the Note cards I made displayed for my Christmas in July event.  I will have further information on these in my blog in the next few days, so please stay tuned.




Please come by the Stamp Ink Paper challenge and see what the rest of our talented team have created this week.  We hope they inspire you to start your Christmas creating and we also hope you will join us for this challenge.

Have a great day.

    So beautiful! Loving your glittery tree in the middle with that beautiful little cardinal! :) That tip top taupe and real red combo is a winner, I'm definitely going to have to try that! I'm sure your card class was a hit with all of those beautiful cards!

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.

Music Teacher Farewell // Paper Players #173 Shaped Card Challenge

Hello Everyone, It's a sad week for my daughter and her friends who have really enjoyed what the music program offered them at the High School this year.  Their very talented teacher will be moving on to a new school and they're having a little party for their last day of the Vocal ensemble practice which was an extra activity that he undertook with the students, as well as teaching them to play all sorts of instruments in lesson times. His speciality though, Guitar!  I have decided to enter this card into the Paper Players Shaped Card Challenge this week.  While not specifically made for the challenge, I think it's a pretty cool shape and fits the criteria.  I also think more people deserve to see this card. When asked to make a card for the group to give him, with that in mind I found some inspiration on Pinterest and came up with this card. The hardest part for me was getting the shaping right, and I had to call on my Artistic daughter to draw the edge as I d

JAI176 - Just Add Blokes & CCMC 2nd Entry

Hi Everyone, I thought this weeks Just Add Ink challenge - "Just Add Blokes" was a great opportunity to get in and make a Male card .  For those of you outside Australia, "Blokes" is another name for Men. Today I'm using Mosaic Madness bundle set teamed with a greeting from Loving Thoughts stamp set.  I don't understand why, but the simplest cards seem to take me the longest.  I agonise over them, and yet I can make something much more involved quicker, when I have a clear vision in mind. I've taken the colours for this card from the colour challenge this week for Create with Connie and Mary so this card is doing double duty for both challenges. Here we are The cardstock is Berrmuda Bay, Basic Black, Whisper White and Smoky Slate per the colour challenge.  Here is a closer look at the Mosaics.  The Bermunda bay one is raised on dimentionals. This picture below gives you a closer look at the greeting. Thanks so much for stop
