We could do with a bit of Merry & Bright....

..... with these dark dreary mornings we are having of late!

Today's make is one of my favourite recent creations, I'm a big fan of the Kraft cardstock and I love the cute stamped images I've used here.

I used two stamp sets from the A/W Catalogue

Santa's Sleigh and Stitched with Cheer

I made a window scene using the Hearth and Home framelits dies, such a simple way to create such a stunning effect and this window die has a multitude of uses and suitable for so many occasions.  You can find this set in the Annual Catalogue on Page 192.

I used the Fabulous Foil Designer Acetate behind my window to create a simple background, silver side showing.  This acetate is just amazing and can easily be missed in the catalogue

I hope you like my card and feel inspired to have a go at creating something made by you.

Hang Your Stocking

I am so excited to have lots of new festive products to play with at the moment, the new A/W Catalogue is just bursting with fabulous products and inspiration too!

Today I am sharing a card I created using one of my new bundles called

"Hang Your Stocking"

I love the cute stocking images in this set and that it also includes some greetings and cute little images like the holly and berries.

Along with these stamps goes a gorgeous set of Thinlits dies called "Christmas Stockings", and yes, when you purchase both the stamps and dies together as a bundle you save 10% on your purchase.

My colour combo is Crumb Cake, Real Red and Wild Wasabi.

The patterned stripy paper is from the Candy Cane Lane suite and don't forget to check out the gorgeous stripy Bakers Twine also from the Candy Cane Lane suite.

Here's a little look at the stamp and dies together...

I have a new HOSTESS CODE for September online shopping, here's the details:

Diorama Card with Foxy Friends

I hope you all had a lovely Bank Holiday weekend, ours consisted mainly of Motocross, a fabulous weekend of racing, with Jack finishing 3rd on the podium so a great result.

I have for you today another card from my recent Foxy Friends class, following from the last card I created a Diorama card with the little kitty sat under a tree.

The tree is of course from the Thoughtful Branches stamps which are only available until tomorrow!

I love how cute this little kitty cat is and how the Foxy Friends stamps enable us to create a multitude of cute little creatures.  Having the co-ordinating Fox Builder Punch makes life so much easier.

Here's a little side view of the card so you can see how it is layered behind the aperture.  It folds completely flat for posting.

So as the month creeps to an end, so does the chances of purchasing the Thoughtful Branches stamps and dies.

Such a beautiful set that is just so versatile and pretty.  If you'd like to order your's just visit my online shop at

www.stampinspiration.stampinup.net

and your order will be delivered direct to your door!

Back very soon with some more inspiration for you
