Christmas Class

My Christmas Classes began in July which seems like ages ago now as we are nearing September!!  We make 10 cards at this class, 2 each of 5 designs and it is proving to be a popular evening so I am guessing everyone is wanting to be ahead of themselves this year, including me!

 

One of the cards at this month's class uses the "Pennant Parade" stamp set, one I haven't used in a while and it is not an obvious Christmas set, more for creating bunting which when turned upside down creates the cutest tree!

 

The stars are also from the same set stamped onto a Circle cut using the Big Shot "Circles #2" die.  This sits perfectly inside the scalloped circle which was die cut using the "Perfect Penants" XL Die with Island Indigo cardstock.

 

 

My colour combo is Pool Party, Island Indigo and Lucky Limeade, these are all In-colours which work so well together. 

 

The Lucky Limeade border was cut using one of the Edgelits with the Big Shot and we used Island Indigo Bakers Twine to wrap around it.

 

The greeting is from another Christmas stamp set called "Contempo Christmas", inked with Early Espresso ink and cut out using the Decorative Label Punch, pierced using the Mat Pack to create a straight even line!

 

More cards from the class to follow in the next few days.

Thank You Cards

Here are some of the Thank You Cards I have been creating for this month's orders.  They use one of the new stamp sets called "Pennant Parade" which consists of 13 stamps that create beautiful bunting.  Now something that makes this stamp set even more loveable is that there is a co-ordinating Punch called the "Petite Pennants Builder Punch"

I have used a colour combination of Baja Breeze, Pretty In Pink and Pear Pizzazz teamed with a Crumb Cake base and Very Vanilla embossed layer.

The "Thank You" greeting is also from the "Pennants Parade" set which I have punched out using the 3/4" Circle Punch.

I have also brayered the inside of the "Vintage Wallpaper" Embossing Folder with Crumb Cake ink so that you get a two toned finish, although it is difficult to see in the picture.

Birthday Bunting!

Earlier this month it was Gaynor's birthday and she was the first person I sneaked new products to with her Birthday card!  This is the gorgeous new stamp set called "Pennant Parade", bunting lover's paradise!! Gorgeous stamps designed to co-ordiate with each other to make the most delicious bunting on your cards or scrapbook layouts, and to add to it, the "Petite Pennants" Builder Punch that punches each piece out with ease, it just couldn't be simpler!

Personalise your cards and projects with names, places and numbers, I mean, who doesn't want a birthday card reminding them that they are 21 again!!

So to top the beauty of this little number I used some of the new In Colour's:

Pool Party

Wysteria Wonder

Lucky Limeade

They are gorgeous too, and work lovely together.

I used the "Just Perfect" Alphabet Stamp Set to create the "happy" word, punching them out with circle punches and "Curly Cute" stamps for the "birthday" bit making a flagged banner. 

Of course I added lots of bling using the Rhinestons and some of the new Designer Paper called "Flirtatious" which is from the Speciality range.
