Festive Words

Spruce up your Christmas cards with the Festive Words Stamp Set! This stamp set features classic Christmas images—a Christmas tree, stocking, hat, and gift—in a sophisticated open line-art style. Colour with your favourite colouring technique or add some shine with metallic embossing powder.

While I was away at my upline Marelle’s stamp camp, I took along the Festive Words stamp set to have a play with. When I first saw it in the catalogue I thought it would be an easy set to create with. Boy was I wrong. I really struggled to make anything to start with. I finally saw a layout that Marelle had used and thought I’d use the same layout and create with this stamp set. Well lo and behold these cards came out. I created a video last month using the same stamp set and here are the results.

Spotlight on Nature

The Spotlight on Nature Stamp set is a lovely versatile set that I love. When we went to our Stampin’ Up! demonstrator event in March we had the opportunity to attend an optional class and choose from one of 3 bundles. The Spotlight on Nature Bundle is what I chose. The bundle includes the stamp set and a die set. The die set is made up of circles with varying intricacies around the edging of each die all in various sizes.

During my Facebook Live on Friday I created a set of 5 cards. I had an idea of what I was going to do for two of the cards but then the other 3 I was unsure. For two of the cards, I had pulled out an old old card kit that I had made up and used the card base and layers from that card kit.

Using minimal supplies is always great as we don’t always have EVERYTHING in our crafting stash. These cards are quite super simple, however I did use a blending brush on all the cards in some form. If you don’t already have blending brushes in your stash, you really should add them to your wish list as they are fabulous to play with and be creative with.

Horse & Sleigh Bundle

I am sharing the One Horse Open Sleigh suite of products which can be found online at my store in the Online Exclusives.

It took a bit for me to warm up to this suite. Do you ever have products that don’t initially grab you but then once you see someone using the products you then have to buy them? Well that is this suite for me.

These cards were designed by Ronda Wade. I have changed up the sizing to fit our card stock. The designs are just gorgeous so of course I had to create them.

I created these on my Friday Facebook live and so here is my quick video that you can watch and if you’d like to some more details and instructions you can watch my longer video.

Stars at Night Bundle

Welcome to my blog. Today I am sharing with you the Stars at Night Bundle from Stampin’ Up! In my projects I only used two colours, Lost Lagoon & Moody Mauve. These colours are gorgeous. How could you go past either of them?

Stars at Night Bundle is one of those sets that you just have to have in your collection of crafts supplies.

This bundle is absolutely stunning! Within the bundle is a hybrid Embossing folder which includes the dies as well. With a hybrid you can emboss and cut at the same time. However I have just used the embossing folder as it is gorgeous as you’ll see in my video below. This is my short video but you can also check out my longer video with all the instructions on my youtube channel.

Night Divine

Today I am sharing with you some Christmas cards that you can create using the Night Divine stamp set and the Shining Christmas Designer Series paper from the Online Exclusives product offering.

These cards were originally designed by Ronda Wade but I have modified the sizing of them to fit our A4 card stock. With some of the cards I have created them in the US sizing and then adjusted them for A4.

Which card is your favourite?
