Little Log Cabin Christmas Card

2 Comments

Welcome to my Corner of the World

I have a card buffet every month, one of my ladies asked if we could do a Christmas card with a ‘little house’ So I scanned the catalog and found the Rustic Retreat Stamp set had the cutest little log cabin ~ it turned out to be the most popular card in the November card buffet!

This stamp set was designed by SU demonstrator Mary Polcin who was given the honor when she achieved a Million Dollars in sales! It has some great images and greetings for Christmas, Birthday, Thinking of You and while I have used the Christmas themed ones, there are a few others that would work just great for a masculine card!….. watch this space for when I work out a design for one of those!

Welcome to my Corner of the World

When the August – December 2020 Mini Catalog was released one of the first stamp sets I set my heart on was Joyful Holly – I just loved all the ‘curlicues’ which are so graceful and elegant. So understandably I have used it on quite of cards this year, including todays card.

This is quite a simple card, some paper, stamps, ink and a couple of punches, with a little bling of course, you cannot have a Christmas card without some sparkle, can you?

It literally does have flowers for Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, and the winter one features poinsettias, which I have used for today’s card along with the Gift Wrapped Bundle which has the Gift Wrapped Stamp set with the coordinating Bow Builder Punch.

Thinking of You card using your Scraps!

Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

I love to use the Designer Series Papers (DSP) on my cards – they give me color combination ideas and sometimes are the focus of my card. However – there always seems to be little scraps left over – far too beautiful to throw in the bin, so why not make them part of a card?

And that is exactly what I have done today, I had some scraps of the Ornate Garden DSP left over from the all- day crafting retreat I had in October, so out came the Rectangular Stamp Punch and a little Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Don’t forget that Stampin’ UP’s Year End Clearance starts today – click the pink purse to the right to check out the deals available!!

This is a quick and easy card, using my paper trimmer and a couple of punches, along with the Here’s A Card Stamp Set.

Poinsettia Thank You Card ~ Easy One Sheet Wonder

Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Happy December! Today I am mixing a little Christmas with a thank you card, we are all going to need to be sending thank yous over the coming weeks, and how much nicer would it be to send a card rather than an email or text! and I think this would be the perfect card to send.

Poinsettias are so ‘Christmas’, it is the only time we see them in the shops! I was playing around with the Poinsettia Petals Stamp Set, just randomly stamping the petals on a sheet of Very Vanilla Card, before too long I had covered it with petals, leaves and little berries……. and voila I had a one sheet wonder!
