G’day Stampers,

Only 22 more sleeps for Christmas!  Where does the time go?

Once again, thank you to everyone who continually purchases our Treats.  It is very much appreciated & always happy to hear your feedback, especially how much you are enjoying them.  Gail M says “Thank you so much.  I can happily say I am now a “Technique Junkie”.

Christmas Cards are on the list again this month, although you could easily use the techniques on scrapbook pages or any 3-D projects you may have on your desk.  We are playing with 2 Stamp Sets – “Lovey as a Tree” & “Totally Trees” with this one being from the 2016-2016 Holiday Catalogue.    You could easily use what sets you have in your stash.  Embossing with Dies & Negative Die Cutting are the fun techniques we’ve used!

As we’ve a lot of queries asking if SU! Demonstrators could use them for classes, etc.  The answer is now a big “YES”!  We love that you can use them for your classes!  All the work is done for you!

Just for $AUD4.00, you receive the following –

I thought I would share with you one of the cards created from our Technique Treats #6 where we used the gorgeous Stamp Set “Seaside Shore” along with the coordinating “By the Shore” DSP and the coordinating Seaside Textured EF.  You can see more ideas on Page 92 & 93 of the 2016 Annual Catalogue.

For my card I used the Ghosting Technique along with the lovely new Dapper Denim In Colour.

Tips for when playing with the Ghosting Technique –

• The more the VersaMark is slightly dried, the better your resist image will be
