A Little Something - LOVE PEACE JOY

Hello!

I am super excited! Tomorrow I will be attending Stampin' Up!'s very first On Stage event for demonstrators! As always I have created cards to take along and swap out with the other demonstrators! Today I share one of my ideas with you!

Super simple!

Black, White and Gold (and Kraft!) makes for a super elegant Christmas card...

My Product List

Hints & Things

• I Swiped my Whisper White Craft ink pad over my card base for a "snowy" background and then stamped my tiny snowflakes using the same ink on top of that.
• When you stamp on top of the Window sheet with the StazOn ink, be careful it can be quite slippery! So straight down and straight up with your stamp!
• I used Glue Dots to secure my sequins - no way they will be coming off in the post!
• My card measures 3 1/2"  x 3 1/2" (9cm x 9cm) but this is just an idea - you can make it bigger, smaller, thinner, any way you would like it! 

Next week (if all goes well) I am going to play around with the fun Snow Place stamp set and its coordinating dies!

Take care!

Wonderland - Merry Christmas

Hello!

I am in the process of deciding what my Christmas cards will look like this year and came up with this idea! Including the sewing, this card took me about 10 minutes to create!

I love Cherry Cobbler! It is such a perfect Christmas Red! Add some Gold and you have the perfect Christmas colour combo!

Early Espresso Seam Binding Ribbon adds the perfect amount of soft to this card!

Hints & Things

• Too easy for hints!

Well I am off to see how many of these I can start!

Take care!

Wonderland - Christmas Blessings

Hello! Hello!

I hope that it is going well with you!

I think the most important thing about today, is that it is Weekly Deals Wednesday! Amazing deals on this week!

Today is also the day that I share my take on this week's Global Design Project challenge! I really struggled this time! My aim for this week's posts was Christmas and to bring the challenge and Christmas together.... More than a bit of head scratching going on I tell you! I just could not decide which part of this week's CASE the Designer Challenge I wanted to CASE.

I decided to CASE the layout with layers of Ink, Vellum and Wood (and a little bit of sewing... AGAIN)!

Can you see it?! I loved the colours, layout, stamp sets, everything about Kylie Bertucci's card... 

I love how my Snowflake turned out!

My Product List

Hints & Things

• I spritzed some water onto the You've Got This background stamp (one of my favourite backgrounds ever)!
• I first coloured my Wooden snowflake with Whisper White Craft Ink, then used Heat & Stick Powder to heat set the Dazzling Diamonds Stampin' Glitter.
• I tried to use different kinds of layers in place of actual paper layers.

Although I agonized over the layout, I'm rather happy with the outcome and with a few tweaks here and there... might just make some more!

What do you think?
