More Merry Messages

Ouch! I went swimming yesterday for the first time in ages, and I can feel it today!

Anyway, I did just about manage to make a card last night...

You may be seeing a theme in my cards recently...Christmas, and quick! And let's face it, when you have a lot of cards to send, you need to be able to make them quickly!

I embossed the sentiment from More Merry Messages in Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Emboss Powder. The paper is the lovely and versatile Season Of Style DSP. 

You can view and order all these items from my online shop simply by clicking on the product links. See...I've even made it easy for you! ;)

I will be starting a new Stampers 6 club soon...if you are interested, please do contact me...there are only a couple of places left!

Hiya!

Is it Friday yet?? No? Oh Thursday's close enough! Would you like to see another quick Christmas card, ideal for if you need to make lots? Well here is one that took only 4 minutes to make, but looks very classy!

I have used the Season Of Style Designer Series Papers, which are available as an A6 paper stack...perfect for when you want to make lots of cards!

The sentiment is from the More Merry Messages set and I have simply stamped it in Versamark and heat embossed in Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder. The Gold Foil Sheet was punched using the Scallop Trim Border Punch.

Quickie Christmas

Hi there!

How are you all? My car had her MOT yesterday, and she passed with no trouble at all! Phew...another year done! :)

I spent all day yesterday in my craft room making a very special card for my friend's nephew, which I will post when I know it's safe to do so, but for now here is a card I can post...

I have used a strip of Season of Style DSP, some Gold card, and the very lovely Christmas Collectibles stamp set. To make the 3D bauble, I stamped 3, punched them with the matching punch, then scored each down the middle. Fold each in half, then stick one half to the next bauble, and then the next. 

I finished with a sentiment from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.

Supplies

Stamps - Christmas Collectibles, Teeny Tiny Sentiments

Ink - Gold Encore, Real Red

Designer Papers - Season Of Style

Punch - Christmas Ornament

Thanks for popping by today...hope to see you tomorrow!

A little thank you

Hello!!

Wow...Monday again already?? Oh well...another one out of the way then eh?! ;)

So this morning I wanted to show you a little thank you set I made for a friend...

I was having a play with My Digital Studio last night, and I had a browse through the available downloads on my Online Shop and I discovered something that really made me smile! As you know, I totally loved last year's colour collections designer papers and was really sad when they retired. Well guess what?? You can buy them as a download for MDS! Yay!! You can even buy them in each colour, rather than having to buy the whole colour collection,  and they are only £1.50 each meaning I can just top up one of the colours I have almost used up!

So I used some of the Wisteria Wonder paper for this set, and layered it onto a Naturals White card base. I also stamped the image from Morning Meadow onto a piece of Naturals. 

The flower on the box is also from Morning meadow, stamped in Perfect Plum onto Wisteria Wonder cardstock and punched using the Pansy Punch.

The little box has a little gift inside...

Yup! A candle! Isn't it cute? 

This is another Demo's design, and by request, I cannot share the full details, sorry. But I really love these little boxes...I may have to make more of them! 

If you would like to download My Digital Studio, please visit my Online Shop...it is available for only £13.95 and you get plenty of papers, stamps, embellishments etc to get you started, then you can start to download all the papers, extra stamps...whatever you need/want/can't do without! ;)

And don't forget to add this month's Hostess Code for your chance to win the hostess credits!

Pinkies Seasonal Catalogue Bloghop!

Thank you for joining us on another Pinkies Blog Hop! We're showcasing lots of gorgeous projects using products from the new Stampin' Up!® Autumn/Winter Seasonal Catalogue. Simply use the buttons at the end of each post to keep hopping!

We love comments, so please do tell us what you think!

If you have arrived from the lovely Clare's blog, then a huge welcome to you!

I have lots of the gorgeous new stamps, but I have chosen to show you this one today because I feel like I haven't seen it around blogland much and I think it needs showing off!

The stamp is the very lovely Santa's List, and I have coloured him with my Stampin' Write Markers and framed him with one of the lovely snowflake dies from the Festive Flurry Framelits.

I also used 2 of the gorgeous new Embossing Folders; Stylish Stripes and Pretty Print. The distressing was created using my distressing tool, Sponge Daubers and Crumb Cake ink. The ribbon is Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding.

Supplies

Cardstock - Whisper White, Silver Glimmer Paper

Stamp - Santa's List

Ink - Black Stazon, Real Red, Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Blushing Bride

Embossing Folders - Stylish Stripes, Pretty Print

Ribbon - Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding

Dies - Festive Flurry, Circles Collection

I had intended to use some of the stunning new Designer Papers but I felt my card worked better without. I'm sure you will see lots of them from my fellow Pinkies throughout the blog hop though!

Speaking of which, it's time to move on to the very creative Kim's blog to see what she has created...you'll love it!

Good morning!

Did you enjoy our Pinkies bloghop yesterday, showcasing some of our gorgeous new products from the Seasonal Catalogue? If you missed it, you can click here and see all the stunning projects we made!

Today, I have a card for you using the Simply Sketched set again...I have loved playing with this set this week!

Before I mention the image I just wanted to point out the lovely Sweater Weather papers. Although they have a really masculine feel to them, I wanted to show how they can work on feminine cards too. 

I made the little bunch of flowers and leaves by stamping the first flower stem, onto the Naturals White cardstock, (which has a lovely speckled effect to it), then masking it off before stamping the second, minus the bud. I then masked off both flowers and stamped the leaves, also twice. 

TIP: when you make masks for your stamps, don't throw them away. Instead keep them in the case with your stamps and they are ready to use next time!

Supplies

Cardstock - Naturals White, Soft Sky

Stamps - Simply Sketched

Ink - Soft Sky, Pistachio Pudding, Smoky Slate

Ribbon - Pool Party Seam Binding

Don't forget, you can order these items here in my shop, and if you use the current hostess code, found on my blog header, you will be added to my mystery hostess draw to win yourself this month's hostess credits!
