Team Day Christmas Card Swaps

Hi Everyone,

Last weekend I had a very enjoyable Saturday attending our Paper Angels Team training in Brisbane. This was an opportunity to meet up with other demonstrators and get hands on with some new products, share information and swap cards.

I must say it was very well organised by Bec Ross and Anna Wheaton and what a fabulous group of ladies we have in the Paper Angels.  It was nice to put faces to names that I'd only seen on FB before.

Getting on to the swaps, these are what I made using the Eastern Medallion framelits and new paper Merry Music Specialty dsp.




Below was my works in progress




Once I finally decided what I was making for my swaps (after changing my mind 3 times) it only took me a day to complete them.  I used cardstock of Very Vanilly, Real Red and Garden Green.  I think the layering of the Medallion flowers like this gives them the look of a Poinsettia.




I also used some Gold thread underneath the flower and I used Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp for the Merry Christmas which I then cut out with the Stitched Shape framelits.
















Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you all have a fantastic day and week.

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
