Christmas in July with Nature’s Prints

G’Day Friends,

Can you believe our first week of sharing Christmas in July is at an end.  Where did that time go?

For today’s card I decided to try a very traditional Christmas card with a red & green theme BUT with a sentiment that will cover all occasions.

Be sure to pop over to check out what Robbie has created today.

If you don’t have a lot of Christmas sets like me – well, none really – then be sure to relook at what you have & see what you can come up with.  You will be surprised what may pop into your mind.

I decided to play with Nature’s Prints for today’s card.  I think all the images are perfect for Christmas.  Watch this space lol!

The sentiment is from the Charming Sentiments Stamp Set.

Once the Gold Festive Pearls were added to the card, they changed the whole appearance & instantly looked more like a Christmas Card.  The little bit of Gold & Very Vanilla Satin Edged Ribbon set it off perfectly.

G’Day Friends,

Today is the last day to register for our May Stamp & Card Club.  This Club is so much fun.  There are 2 options available – 6 monthly subscription or a Month to Month.

To subscribe to this Club, click on the link below.

I’ve been busy having lots of fun creating with the Tropical Leaf Bundle from the Exclusives Online Shop.

I pulled out the Sponge Daubers to create my leaves for today’s card.  Gotta love those little devils.  They’ve been stamped with Daffodil Delight Ink before being randomly daubed with Pretty Peacock Ink.  The veins & stems have been stamped with Pretty Peacock Ink.

The large piece of Basic White was embossed with the Fern 3D Embossing Folder prior to being adhere to a Tahitian Tide Base Card.

The Tahitian Tide Metallic Ribbon was tied into a small bow prior to being adhered to the bottom of a piece of Basic White Cardstock with the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch.  I’m so glad we have a couple of Circle Punches to play with.

If you live in Australia, don’t forget to use the May Host Code – AJHF7J9N  – if your order is under $250.  Valid from 1 – 31 May 2023.

Create Weekly Sketch Layout with Stampin’ Up! Forever Fern Stamp Set

G’Day Friends,

It’s been a little while since our last Create weekly Sketch Layout, so I thought we would try & get them going again.  I love creating from a layout as its a great starting point, especially if you have in a bit of a slump.

Now, the gorgeous Forever Fern Stamp Set is on the Retiring List & will be the first to admit that I will miss it, but no doubt, give me a month & I’ll have a favourite to replace it lol.  If you have this set on your Wish List, grab it while you can as once it’s gone, it’s gone.

Don’t you love how pretty these 2 colours of Shaded Spruce & Parakeet Party work so well together?  I wasn’t too sure how they would go but I am loving the combination.  I also think the Shaded Spruce brings out the yellow in the Parakeet Party too.

Grab your supplies to create your own version of the layout.  Don’t forget to share your creation on my FB Page or in our Stamp & Create FB Group.  We would love to see them.

Check out the video created showing you how easy it is to create from a Sketch Layout to make your card.  If you have trouble viewing it, click HERE to watch it.

I wanted to use my Stampin’ Write Markers in some way on my card this month.  I feel that sometimes we just sort of overlook our wonderful Markers.  I know I do, do you?

The panel has been masked off with Masking Sheets prior to randomly stamping an image & then carefully removing the masks prior to ruling a line down each side where the stamping ends.  It sort of looks like it has been layered onto Cardstock, don’t you think?
