Dashing Deer – Beginner

Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Stampers,

I am sharing with you 1 of the cards I created last month for a group I am in, where each month we showcase a Stamp Set from the Annual Catalogue aimed at the Beginner, Dashing-Deer-2---InsideCasual & Avid Stampers.

This time round I focused on the Dashing Deer Stamp Set.  This is the perfect time to begin creating your Christmas Cards.  Don’t you just love the deer?

Today’s card is aimed at the Beginner Stamper.  A very easy card but one that the Beginner Stamper would be more than happy with once they completed it.  One that could easily be created for Christmas!

Until next time, Happy Stampin’

12-Days-of-ChristmasG’Day Stampers,
Today is the last day of sharing with you my 12 Days of Christmas.  I do hope you have enjoyed them.

In saying that, be sure to pop back as I haven’t finished sharing all my Christmas projects with you.

Once again I am sharing a card we did in one of our Friday Classes & yes once again, it has been created using the Santa’s Workshop Suite from the 2018 Holiday Catalogue.  It consists of the Signs of Santa Stamp Set, Santa’s Signpost Framelits & Santa’s Workshop Specialty DSP.  This DSP has been hand-drawn with white flocking on one side.  You can also purchase the Stamp Set & Framelits as a Bundle.  Can you tell it is one of my favourites.

Day 12 of the Aussie version of the “12 Days of Christmas”.

On the eleventh day of Christmas, my true love gave to me –

12 Days of Christmas – Day 11

12-Days-of-ChristmasG’Day Stampers,

We are nearly at the end of the 12 Days of Christmas, but it doesn’t mean that I will stop  sharing any projects with.  Keep your eyes peeled for more to come.

Once again I am sharing a card we did in one of our Friday Classes & yes once again, it has been created using the Santa’s Workshop Suite from the 2018 Holiday Catalogue.  It consists of the Signs of Santa Stamp Set, Santa’s Signpost Framelits & Santa’s Workshop Specialty DSP.  This DSP has been hand-drawn with white flocking on one side.  You can also purchase the Stamp Set & Framelits as a Bundle.  Can you tell it is one of my favourites.

I will also admit that I am not sure if I cased it from Pinterest or sort of took the idea from the Catalogue.  Please let me know if you recognize it so that I am able to give you credit.

Day 11 of the Aussie version of the “12 Days of Christmas”.

On the eleventh day of Christmas, my true love gave to me –

12-Days-of-ChristmasG’Day Stampers,

I’m excited to share with you another card created with the Night of Bethlehem Stamp Set along with the Bethlehem Edgelits.  Once again we used the Dragging/Swiping Technique.  The Technique Tutorial may be found by clicking on the Technique Tutorials Page.

I will say that we have previously created this card in one of our classes last year but it was once again requested for a class.  I must give a huge shout out to Alisa Tilsner for her inspiration & great tutorial last year.

Day 10 means Day 10 of the Aussie version of the “12 Days of Christmas”.

On the eighth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me –

My project is one we created in our Embossing Paste class a few weeks ago.  Do you recognize it?  I’ve cased it from Page 21 of the Annual Catalogue.  You may also recognize a similar project I shared with you on Day 1 when I created a card.

We actually coloured the Shimmery White Embossing Paste with a touch of Pool Party Refill before applying to the Silver Mini Gable Box.

12-Days-of-ChristmasG’Day Stampers,

We are half way there with Day 6 & today it is a Gift Card Holder.  Who doesn’t love these around Christmas?

Not only do we get to see the Holder but it is also Day 6 of the  Aussie version of the “12 Days of Christmas”.

On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me –

My card today is yet another created in one of our classes a few weeks ago.  I actually Dashing-Deer-2---Insidecreated this card from a sketch I had saved some time ago & then when I went looking for something on Pinterest, can you believe it, up popped my card.  I thought I was seeing things until I recognized a few things were a little different.  Has that happened to you?  I will be honest & say it has a couple of times to me.  Scary!

The card was actually created when the Dashing Along DSP first come out for the limited promotion BUT you will be happy to know that it has been made available to everyone in Aus & NZ as some of the sales of certain products have exceeded the forecast.  You can now order from by clicking on the link above or below.

Just on a note about the sales of the 2018 Holiday Catalogue – here in the South Pacific, some of the products may not be available for the entire Catalogue period.  They are –

147816: Joyous Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper
147890: Festive Farmhouse Elements

12 Days of Christmas – Day 5

Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

12-Days-of-ChristmasG’Day Stampers,

Today is Day 5 of the 12 Days of Christmas.

Now for Day 5 of the Australian version of the 12 Days of Christmas.

“On the third day of Christmas, my true love gave to me – 

A cockie (cockatoo) in a bottlebrush tree

2 flying Doctors,

3 Drovers watching

4 dogs barking

5 golden ducks (as in out for nil in cricket)Cricket

In Australia, Christmas & Summer is very much all about the game of cricket.  We play it on the beach, in back yards, front yards, in the bush, in the streets.  Big kids, little kids, kids at heart all play.  We use anything we can get our hands on for a bat, wicket & ball.  Mind you, I have played where sometimes everyone thinks they are playing for “sheep stations” as it is so serious & completive, but mostly it is all about the fun!

Boxing Day is all about the 1 day match in Melbourne when we are glued to our TV’s for the day!

My card today is using the Frosted Floral Suite which includes the First Frost Stamp Set, Frosted Bouquet Framelits & the Frosted Floral Specialty DSP which are all from the 2018 Holiday Catalogue.  The Stamp Set & Framelits are also available as a Bundle.
