Just wanted to share a couple more Christmas Cards over the next few days – I designed about 15 of them this year for various classes and each of them need to be ‘shared with world’ 🙂
Today’s card uses the Festive Foliage Background Stamp with the Stamparatus, some nice traditional Christmas colors, a luxurious bow and a few gold Metallic Pearls.
Continue readingThe days are ticking away and the 25th is closing in on us fast! I have a few more Christmas cards to share with you and there is still time for you to whip some cards up and get them in the post!
The Peaceful Deer Stamp Set with the coordinating Deer Builder Punch makes for such a elegant and peaceful card, I have paired them with the Layering Circle Dies to create a ‘spotlight’ effect. The stamp set and punch are available as a bundle which gives you a 10% discount. STOP PRESS for one day only – December 8th there will be free shipping for orders greater than $50 – scroll on down for more info!! Some of the products used in today’s card are only available until the end of December – today would be a great time to scoop up on this great deal.
Continue readingWell here we are – December 1st and the final page of the flip over calendar for 2021. If you are a regular follower of my blog you will know that in the early part of last December I had a class to create a flip over calendar, everyone loved it and made me promise we will do another for 2022 – well that class is scheduled for this coming Saturday and Tuesday – all the design is done and supplies are cut!.
I have loved sharing each page at the start of each month and am seriously thinking of doing the same for the 2022 calendar. So today I share, December with Christmas lights and a tree ornament – very festive!
Continue readingI am getting very good at using my Designer Series Paper ~ I have shared in the past how much I love the decorative paper that Stampin’ UP offers and that I have a tendency to ‘save it’ rather than use it.
Today’s card uses some of the ‘In the Wild’ DSP which features tigers and leopards, but if you flip them over there are some lovely botanical and geometric designs which I chose to use, with just a simple greeting and a couple of punched leaves. I also used the Sweet Strawberry Bundle but there is not strawberry in sight!
Continue readingIf you are a regular reader of my blog you will know I struggle with cards for the fellas in our lives! So when I opened the Stampin UP! Jan – June 2021 Mini Catalog and saw the Soar Confidently Stamp set I knew it had to be on my wish list, it has the most perfect guy type images with an airship, hot air balloon and a biplane, along with some super images great for birthdays and father’s day.
I have used the airship on today’s card and stepped it up by heat embossing the image with gold.
Continue readingToday is Christmas Eve – as my great- niece would be telling her Daddy today ‘ one more sleep until Father Christmas gets here’. I am spending my day with final preparation for tomorrow’s lunch and then settling down in front of the fire to watch some Christmas movies!
They say that less is more ~ not entirely sure I agree with that when it comes to card making but today I used a ready made card base from the Gold Cards and Envelopes Pack. It is Very Vanilla and has gold foil decoration on it, so that was my color choices decided, then a little dash of red to finish off! And, you know it was surprisingly quick to create all of the 10 cards that were in the pack!

Welcome to the Ink & Share Scrapbook blog hop, we are group of international Stampin UP! demonstrators sharing our ideas and creativity with you.
You will have either arrived from Alison’s post or starting here ~ either way WELCOME. This month are theme is ‘Shapes’ ~ this was a challenge for me and as a result my page is very simple.
Once again I have chosen to use a 12 x 12 page – mainly because Stampin’ UP! has 12 x 12 card stock in all its colors which gives me a fantastic choice
Continue readingGift Tags are the one things I always seem to forget to either buy or make and have a last minute dash in the last few days of gift wrapping. I know we are only a third of the way thru October but I decided I might as well start early and tuck them away for a few weeks. (Keeping fingers crossed that I will remember where I put them!)
These are two very simple designs using the pretty and versitile ‘Tis the Season Designer Series Paper along with the perfectly aptly named Tag Buffet Stamp Set.
Continue readingWhen I saw the Power of Hope Bundle ~ one of the FREE Sale-a-bration gifts I just knew that I had to create today’s card. The bundle has the Power of Hope Stamp Set and the Stone 3D embossing folder and they really compliment one another. (see below how you can get this bundle for free)
The stamp set has a very strong oriental theme so, black and red are the perfect color combination with some beautiful gold embossing.
Last week I shared the Christmastime is Here Suite and promised to share another card – once again I have focused on the gorgeous Christmastime is Here Specialty Designer Series Paper – did I say last time that it had gold foil accents on one side? On today’s card I show one side of the paper with the foil accents and flip it over to show the pretty seasonal print on the other!
I just want to remind you though, that this suite is only available while supplies last so please don’t delay – order yours today! 🙂
