First-Frost---Close-Up

G’Day Stampers,

Today I am sharing with you one of the cards created in a class when the 2018 Holiday Catalogue first come out.  We played with the First Frost Bundle including the Frosted Floral DSP.  In fact this was the very first Suite I purchased in my pre-order.  It is absolutely gorgeous!First-Frost---Inside

I love to randomly cut my DSP into pieces & then adhere it back onto a contrasting colour Cardstock, in this case Whisper White.  It adds a little more interest while at the same time showcasing this gorgeous DSP.  I carried the same through to the inside of the card.

Under-the-Mistletoe-1---Clo

Today I am sharing with you a simple card created using the lovely Under the Mistletoe DSP which is one of the packs that is in the promotion – Buy 3, get 1 FREE.

I love to use my DSP in different ways as I think it gives a whole new lookUnder the Mistletoe - 19.25 to your cards, plus it shows that you don’t require a lot of product to create quick & easy cards.

I’ve used Whisper White, Early Espresso, & Real Red Cardstock.  The sentiment was stamped onto Whisper White in Real Red, die cut with the Stitched Shapes Framelits & adhere to a piece of Real Red, punched using the Starburst Punch.  The bow is from the Jar of Love Stamp Set.  Don’t you love it when you can get multiple uses from your stamps?

Yesterday I shared with you a card using the Eclipse Technique.

Well today, I am sharing another using the same technique but this time round it is a Christmas Card which was created in one of my classes back in February.  Is it too early to make a start on our Christmas cards?

 

The Eclipse Technique is available to download by clicking on the Free Technique Christmas-InsideTutorials Page.  Print it out, file in a folder & keep on hand to use or to refer back to at a later date.

Yes, SU! Demos are able to use them for your classes, workshops & demonstrations.  It just means that all the work is done for you, except of course your samples.

To download your free card tutorial on how I created my card, please click on the link above the photo.

My post today is going to be short (on the way out the door) but a card which was created a little while ago but never shared.  Anyhow, it is always to get an early start on your  Christmas cards.

It is using the gorgeous Merry Little Christmas DSP from the 2017 Holiday Catalogue (retired).  I’ve teamed it up with the Holly Berry Happiness Stamp Set along with the Holly Berry Builder Punch.  I must say I used this set a lot last year & seemed to be my go to set for Christmas.

If you click on the link below, you will be able to download a free tutorial to create your own card.  The card can be used for any occasion so all you have to do is change out the stamp & DSP.

Until next time, Happy Stampin’

The DSP is from the 2017-2018 Annual Catalogue – Be Merry while the greeting Merry & Bright is from the Hearts Come Home Stamp Set, available in the 2017 Holiday Catalogue which ends 2 January 2018.

Beachy Little Christmas

Beach-Little-Christmas1---C

I certainly hope you all had a lovely relaxing & happy Christmas spending time with family & friends.

I created the card today some time ago, originally for a blog hop but it completely slipped my mind.

When I first saw Beachy Little Christmas  in the 2017 Holiday Catalogue, I saw a wreath using the shells.  I’m quite happy with the result.  In fact, we eventually did it in one of our classes & the ladies loved it especially when they could see another way of using the images.  I must say the set suits our lifestyle down the coast of Australia.

The images have been stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black, coloured with the Watercolour Pencils & Blender Pen.

It’s a little different but one I’m happy with.

Don’t forget if you click on the link below, you can download your own tutorial to create your card.  The tutorial includes a list of supplies plus measurements (metric & imperial).

Until next time, Happy Stampin’

Christmas 2017

As we all head out to our various locations to celebrate Christmas, whether it be with family, friends, spending the day playing cricket on the beach, swimming in the creeks or playing in the snow (for all the overseas followers), I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone for your support over the past 12 months –  my customers, downlines, followers, friends or even if you have been a 1 time visitor.  I would not have a business or blog without you.

 Merry Christmas to you & yours!
