It's on it's way!!!

Dare I say Christmas will soon be upon us and it's never too early to start making your cards and gifts, and I just love getting festive with my creativity!

 

Today's card is one from a recent class....

 

 

I used the gorgeous set called

 

"Happy Scenes"

 

which is definitely not just for Christmas, love the little scenes in this set, so very usable!

 

I used the new corner punch which you can find in the Autumn/Winter catalogue or click on the picture below to go direct to my shop

 

The greeting is from the same set

 

 

I die cut the "Noel" from vellum from the Wonderful Wreath framelits set, yes, more vellum usage in the craft room!

Happy New Year!

So it's been a little quiet around here over Christmas, I have taken a break from blogging after being away Ski-ing for Christmas and spending some time with the family.

 

In 2015 I plan to reduce my working hours and spend a little more time doing more of the things that are important to me and to make more time for those who are important around me.

 

I couldn't let Christmas slip by so quickly without sharing this project with you.  It's a sampler frame we made at one of my classes in December and I love how it turned out.  The idea came from the displays at Convention in Brussels and when I came across the frame I knew exactly what I was going to do with it!

 

 

I used the "All is Calm" designer series paper then a few different stamp sets

 

Festival of Trees with matching Punch

Wonderful Wreath with matching Framelits Dies

Holiday Home with matching Framelits Dies

 

 

I die cut the word "WINTER" using Silver Foil cardstock

 

 

This wasn't a difficult project to put together and I can see many other uses for this frame so watch this space!

Wonderful Wreath

So first I have great news to share with you.....

THE MAGNETIC PLATE IS BACK!!!!

Don't delay, order your's today, I know lots of you have been waiting for it's arrival!

Onto today's card, have you seen this "Wonderful Wreath" stamp in the new A/W Catalogue, it's a single stamp available in wood, perfect for the festive season and can be dressed with many things!

Here I dressed it with mini silver brads, cutting the wreath out and mounting with dimensionals.

Loving the new "Expressions Thinlits Dies", here the "Merry" phrase fitted perfectly at the bottom of my card on top of an embossed section created using the Delicate Designs embsosing folder.  I like to use wax paper with these "Thinlits" dies, along with an extra shim and a couple of runs through the machine to help the cardstock push out easier from the die.

A cute bow to finish at the bottom of the wreath and the result, a festive card in a flash!
