Baroque Christmas

Here's another Christmas card for you, only 23 days to go!!! I've used the Baroque Motifs stamp set (pg. 98) for this one. Many non-Christmas sets can be used to make Christmas cards with the right colour combination and sentiment. I've used In Colors for this card, I just love how well the In Colors go together. The base card is Purely Pomegranate and the layers are Wild Wasabi and River Rock. On the base card, I've stamped the large swirly image in Purely Pomegranate ink in the corners. The River Rock piece has been stamped with the large swirly image in Wild Wasabi and then the small flower image has been stamped in Purely Pomegranate. The greeting is from Occasional Greetings (pg. 121), a must have set, and is stamped in Purely Pomegranate. The Wild Wasabi layer has been paper pierced and the edges distressed. The River Rock edges have also been distressed.

I hope you like it! Thanks to Marelle (I think) for the original design.

Finally, a Christmas Card!

This card is a CASE from the very talented Marelle Taylor. It uses the 'Season of Joy' stamp set (Spring Mini) and 'Polka Dot' background stamp (pg. 108). The colours are Purely Pomegranate, Wild Wasabi and Whisper White. The ribbon is Purely Pomegranate double-stitched. The 'Season of Joy' set is definately one of my favourites! If you love it as much as I do, you better get in fast because the Spring Mini finishes on November 30th.

The Spring Mini is here! I've been poring over my personal copy for weeks now, drooling over the beautiful new stamp sets and accessories! Now it's your turn. I've got my customer copies and I will be sending them out to those on my mailing list for FREE! If you would like your very own FREE copy to drool over, please contact me.

I've recently had a team meeting and this is the card we made. It's a CASE of a card in the mini. The base card is in Old Olive, the designer series paper is from the mini and is called Holiday Harmony, the ribbon is Purely Pomegranate double stitched and the brads are silver. The original card in the mini uses a chipboard star, on this card we've used the large star punch on some of the Holiday Harmony paper to create a similar effect. I've decided it's probably time to start making Christmas cards, only 5 months till Christmas from today!!! I hope this one inspires you!
