Wonderful Year ft the Holly Berry Happiness Bundle - It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

Hello crafty people!

Today I'm sharing 1 of the 5 designs from my Stamp-a-Stack for Christmas! I kept the designs simple because each lady had to create 4 of each (5 designs all together 20 cards!) in roughly 4 hours (that was the plan)! It was a busy morning to say the least! A lot of talking, stamping and getting ink on the fingers!



Really quick but so bright and cheerful! Perfect for Christmas!



The Holly Berry Happiness Bundle is a must have for this year's handmade Christmas cards AND to earn a surprise gift when you purchase online using my Hostess code!).

My Product List



Notes

  • Adding  watermark stamping to darker cardstock by using either Versamark ink or the same ink colour as your cardstock (I used the Garden Green cardstock and the Garden Green Classic Stampin' pad in this case) makes for an interesting but subtle background.
  • To keep my Whisper White greeting piece in place I used Snail Adhesive - using the Washi tape only for decorative purposes.
  • Three red sequins adds sparkle as Holly Berries!
  • Add extra dimension to punched or die cut leaves and petals by bending and shaping them in the palm of your hand or with you thumb and index finger.
This Christmas card will be quick to replicate or even adapt to your taste!

I hope I have given you some inspiration to start your on handmade Christmas tradition! Let me know what you think!

Take care!

Wonderful Year - It's the most Wonderful Time of the Year

Hello Stamping Friends!

So just to confirm... Big W have their Christmas trees out!! As a crafter I say "Yay!!" As a mom I say "What!!!".

Today I'm sharing my Global Design Project sketch challenge (#gdp054)! I am still in a Festive mood (I keep on being inspired by Stampin'Up!'s Holiday Catlogue). Today features another Christmas card!

I found Tenealle Williams' beautiful sketch challenge really difficult! I struggle with banners! But here we go... my take on this week's sketch! I tried to make it work for me.


My take on banners... and horizontal lines!

Tenealle's inspiration.


I still adore the Peaceful Pines Bundle! It makes for easy cardmaking!

My Product List




Notes


  • I used ribbon for my banners and lines in my paper to try and keep to the design.
  • I loved making use of the Serene Scenery Designer Series Paper Stack for this Christmas card! Go through your stacks of Designer Series Paper and see what you can use for your festive cards!
  • Take part in challenge blogs like the Global Design Project to get your Mojo back (Mojo Monday is also a great challenge blog).
  • Early Espresso is my new favorite paring with the Serene Scenery Paper Stack!


Let me know what you think! All your comments are appreciated!

Take care!
