Christmas Card Class

The first card used the Make a Mitten stamp set and matching punch,together with a framelit. The colour combination was cherry cobbler and crumbcake.

Next we made use of the aperture left from cutting out the framelit.

The base card was naturals ivory and was stamped randomly with one of the small stamps in the Make a Mitten set. The sentiment was stamped on crumbcake in the aperture and the addition of some cherry cobbler tulle and crochet lace trim completed it.

The third card was naturals ivory with a trim using the scalloped edge border. The little reindeer are from the Joyous celebrations set, punched out with a circle punch and mounted on the small scallop circle punch.  Sentiment from Greetings of the Season set.

And finally a very quick card using naturals ivory card base, candlelight christmas dsp, and crumb cake seam binding

More Joyous Celebrations (definitely the last!)

This post was scheduled to be published on Wednesday but for some reason didn't appear - so it's a couple of days late!

Today I have got another two cards using the Joyous Celebrations set, this time using the tree.For both I have used the new Gumball Green, which I am likng a lot. I diecut the tag and to get the green one longer than the white one I just cut it in half to extend it.


The second card is really just a variation . A different sentiment and a small bow.

Last Joyous Celebrations!!

This is the last of the Joyous Celebrations posts (hooray I hear you say!)

For this one I used the Joy stamp and the oval.I stamped in Raspberry Ripple but wanted a much smaller bow so had to use Real Red ribbon but it still works!

And this one used the final stamp in the set - a tiny bunch of mistletoe and a bow which I fussy cut (and it was fussy as it so small) and layered up

Joyous Celebrations

This has to be one of the most versatile sets in the Autumn/Winter Seasonal catalogue. I love how it makes such easy clean and simple cards. Here I have used the Noel stamp on top of the oval which perfectly fits the large oval punch. It is also the perfect size to fit in the holiday frame embossing folder. I have used Midnight Muse ink, card and the gorgeous new ribbon.

 Items used: Cardstock - whisper white, midnight muse
                       Ink:  Midnight Muse and raspberry ripple
                       Ribbon:  3/8" stitched satin ribbon - midnight muse
                       Stamp sets:  Joyous Celebrations, Curly Cute
                        Misc:    Holiday frame embossing folder, large oval punch

I have made a whole set of these cards and will show you the others over the next few days.

Joyous Celebrations

I'm afraid I've been neglecting blogging recently due to total upheaval in the house! At fairly short notice I decided to have the decorators in to give the house a make over - well not so much a make over as a freshen up as it's still exactly the same colours. But that meant that I couldn't get near my craft room -  in fact I stayed at a friends and only popped home to make sure work was going OK. Enough of my excuses - here is a card that I made a few weeks ago using the Joyous Celebrations stamp set and holiday frame embossing folder. I also used the new Core'dinations cardstock in Cherry Cobbler which I sanded down to give a distressed feel. The sentiment is from Curly Cute.The card blank was from my stash.

Cardstock: Cherry Cobbler Core'dinations, Whisper White
Stamp Set: Joyous Celebrations, Curly Cute
Inkpads: Chocolate Chip
