Scensational cards

Finally getting to the end of the Christmas card list. These cards are made using the Festival Holiday designer paper pack. Using up the little pieces that are left. Teamed the paper up with the Scentsational Season stamp set.

Different colours give it a different effect. OOps looks like I forgot to add the sentiments to this card.

Stamps:Scentsational Season, teeny Tiny Sentiments
Paper:Festival of Prints designer series pack, Cheery Cobbler, White,Lucky limeade, Island indigo
Ink: Cheery Cobbler, Lucky Limeade
Accessories: Window Punch, Modern Label punch, Bakers Twine, Framelits, Fancy Fan embossing folder, Champagne glitter paper

Apologies to those who tried to follow the link that I put on my blog to find what was in the clearance sale this week. I have since added the list to my blog without the link.
A lot of the stamps have sold but its not too late to order any accessories for this week.
Thankyou

Christmas Wreath

At our last regional training day the lovely Sophie from Australia showed us how to make these lovely wreaths. So i thought I would have a go.I have used a couple of different Big Shot diez in various colours. The main coloured paper used is from the Festival of Prints Designer Series Paper Stack thats in the Holiday Catalogue.It was fun to make but did take quite a bit ofcardstock and paper.

StampinUp clearance blitz sale has started. The products on sale are all retired products from the last catalogue.

Golden Ornament

I've been making a few of these ornaments and teaching ladies to make these as well. One of my ladies came up with the idea of using gold ink and tulle to make one of these ornaments. I didn't have gold ink so instead used More Mustard on Vanilla cardstock. The tulle used is non StampinUp but the effect looks golden. This same lady used material that had been stiffened and then just used the framelits to cut the shapes out.Very effective. Limited by your own imagination!

Candlelight Christmas

I thought it time I used up this lovely designer paper that has the feel of suede from the Candlelight Christmas speciality designer paper. I saw a card similar to this whilst blog surfing and thought I'd make one like it .
Stamps:Ornament keepsake, Teeny Tiny sentiments
Paper:Real red, Vanilla, Candlelight Christmas Speciality dsp
Ink:Real Red, Black
Accessories: Real red ribbon, Holiday frame embossing folder, Ornament keepsake framelits, window punch, dimensionals

Paper:Gumbell Green,Vanilla, Candlelight Christmas speciality dsp
Ink:Gumbell green,Early Expresso,
Accessories: Fancy Fan embossing folder,Holiday collection Framelits,Silver brads (non SU) Essentials Paper-Piercing pack, Dimensionals

Here is another card made with the same base but in this card I have used the Labels Colletion Framelits to frame the Christmas tree. Sentiments are from the Teeny tiny Sentiments stamp set.

Christmas Album

Yesterday a group of us got together for  a Christmas party, afternoon tea and we all made a gift for Secret Santa. This group is made up of scrapbookers who meet throughout the year at one of two crop venues. We have been having this Christmas party for the last 4 years. The gift that you bring has to be hand made by you. Its amazing the variety of gifts given.
Above is the gift that I made. a mini album inside a DVD case or could be SU clear mount stamp case.
I got the tutorial off Linda Gutierrez.
This album could be adapted to any occasion.

This is the inside of the album.
Next year I hope to take a class making this album. if interested let me know.

Inside the cover.

The Clear Mount Stamp cases are sold by StampinUp ,4 cases for 11.95.

Have been busy taking the last of my classes. and making a few more Christmas cards.For this card I got the idea off Annette Elliott.. 
I have used different paper and not so much detail .
 The 2nd card is slightly different again from her card.

Secret Santa gift box

Tonight I have to take a gift for secret santa. This is what I have made using the Kraft box from the annual catalogue. Looks great with a bit of designer paper.

This is the top of the box made from the sticky rounds in the holiday catalogue and using the lace ribbon.
A very quick and effective gift for someone. I have filled it with chocolates.
Its not too late to order these boxes for Christmas . Good sturdy box makes a great gift for someone.
