Christmas

Wishing You Everything on Your List (Signs of Santa)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, I was a little late getting my Christmas cards made this year. Fortunately, they are now all out with Australia Post so I think it is time to share my design. Hopefully, I won’t spoil the surprise for too many people. One of the styles of cardmaking I love is that of making scene cards. I haven’t done them for a while but when I saw the Signs of Santa Stamp Set I knew this would be my choice! There are so many different permutations and combinations I could have gone with but in the end, I decided Santa, Mrs Cluas and the signpost would be my choice. Those little elves are way too cute though so I will have to use them on another project.

I wanted to create a simple card where the images just popped. The white of the background seemed a little too stark for me. I used snow mound die from the Farmhouse Framelits die to create a template which I then used to sponge Pacific Point ink to create a soft background. When we sponge we generally try and aim for it to be without any streaks. I didn’t worry too much if it happened – it kind of added to the look of the card.

All of the images were coloured with our fabulous Stampin’ Blends and then I finished it off with a little Wink of Stella in a few places.

Here’s the card…

Aren’t they the cutest images? I love them! Both the of the sets I used to create this card have now been discontinued and will only be available while stocks last or until January 2 2019. I’m sorry to see them go. I particularly love the fence and the slope in the Farmhouse Framelits Die set.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

Christmas I'll Be Home Snowflake Showcase

Merry Christmas (Snowfall Thinlits/I’ll Be Home)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, although the gorgeous stamps and dies from the Snowflake Showcase are no longer available, I thought you might like to see the card I created for my workplace using the die set Snowfall Thinlits.

Here’s the card…

I teamed up the snowflake die with the beautiful sentiment from the I’ll Be Home stamp set. I love the mix of the two fonts. Whilst I used gold as an accent, I think silver would look pretty too.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

Christmas Tags & Tidings

Tags and Tidings Bundle

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, with Christmas fast approaching, I thought I would share a bundle which might go some way to making Christmas wrapping a little easier. The Tags & Tidings Bundle is super cute. It is made up of the Tags & Tidings Photopolymer Stamp set and the coordinating Christmas Tags Thinlits dies.

Here’s the video…

Tags & Tidings Photopolymer Stamp Set

Tags galore! And all on one single stamp! That’s your presents done in no time at all!

Photopolymer stamps
* Are totally transparent for perfect image placement.
* Have just enough give to create a perfectly stamped image every time.
* Cling like crazy to our clear blocks so you don’t have to worry about slipping.
* Save space—you need only one set of blocks for all your photopolymer stamps (blocks sold separately).
* Come packaged in cases with images on the spine for easy storage and quick reference.

Christmas Tags Thinlits Die

Create 16 die-cut tags in record time with this Thinlits die–all with a single pass through the Big Shot.

Thinlits dies help you create detailed die cuts with just a few turns of the Big Shot handle.

* 1 die
* 5-1/2″ x 3-3/4″ (14 x 9.5 cm)
* Use with Big Shot

Okay, how totally cool is this bundle? I love how they have really simplified the process and yet, in the end, you get 16 different tags! So cool! Of course, you could always use the die on its own and use die cut shapes for any occasion. So fun!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

Christmas Snowflake Showcase

Merry Christmas (Snowflake Showcase)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today is the last day to purchase items in the Snowflake Showcase. I’m going to miss this suite as it has such potential – not only for Christmas but for year round occasions. I was looking at the Christmas Tree shape in the Snow is Glistening stamp set earlier and I was admiring the pretty patterns. It crossed my mind that it would look BEAUTIFUL as a background so I had to give it a go.

Here’s the tree…

As the stamp is photopolymer it is really easy to look through the stamp and position it exactly where you want it to go. If you don’t quite match it up or even if it overlaps a little, don’t worry, it will still look really good.

Here’s the card…

Doesn’t that look fabulous? No one would ever know that you used a Christmas Tree to create the background.

I used the flourish die from the Snowfall Thinlits die set to add a bit of extra flair to the card. My biggest tip for this part of the design is to use the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets on your cardstock before you run it through your Big Shot. This makes it SO easy to adhere the die cut piece perfectly in place.

I thought it might be fun to create another card using more traditional colours, plus add little more sparkle.

Here’s the card…

I hope this inspires you to look at the stamps you have in a different way. If you do end up trying this technique, I’d love to see what you create!

Beautiful Baubles Christmas

Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year (Beautiful Baubles)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today I am sharing a card inspired by Yana Smakula. Yana is one of my favourite (non-Stampin’ Up!) card makers. She is amazingly talented and when I saw the card she shared today I really wanted to CASE it. Fortunately, I had just received the Beautiful Baubles stamp set and I had yet to ink it up. (This stamp set also comes with coordinating dies and if purchased as a bundle you receive a 10% discount).

Now I do not have the mad skills of Yana – she really is a true artist – but I think it worked out quite well.

Here’s the card…

If I was to make this card again, I’d do things a little differently but from a first attempt, I don’t think it is too bad.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

Christmas Merry Little Labels

Just for You (Merry Little Labels)

written by Kylie

Hi, I thought I was finished making Christmas cards this year but after seeing Melissa’s card (which you can see in this post here), I knew I had to CASE it (Copy And Share Everything). Melissa gave me her blessing to do so. (Remember, you are welcome to use the cards you see online or in the catalogue for inspiration. Just remember to give proper credit to the original designer). I used the Merry Little Labels stamp set for my card as well as the fabulous Christmas Staircase Thinlits dies (I still haven’t begun to scratch the surface of this die set; it’s incredible!).

Here’s the card…

I’ve used the same basic design for my card, however, I moved the strip of paper to horizontally across the page instead of vertically. The vertical direction of the sentiment meant I had to position the punched out shapes differently as well. I decided to add a bit of texture to the white cardstock and used the Polka Dots Basic embossing folder to achieve this. Instead of the snowflake, I used the boughs from the Christmas Staircase Thinlits die set. I thought my card needed a little something else so I added some holly berries and I think this touch finished the card off perfectly. To create the berries, I coloured rhinestones with the Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends marker.

I think it is amazing how one card design can spark another one which is so different. If you are inspired by this card design, I’d love to see what you come up with!

A few important reminders:

The second reserve window for the Stamparatus is now open. All the details are here.
Don’t forget the Year-End Sales Event is still going on. Here’s your chance to grab some of your favourites before they are gone. All the details are here or you can shop 24/7 at my online store. The direct link to this Sales event is here.
Lastly, Stampin’ Up! stated December 11, 2017, was the last day to ensure pre-Christmas delivery.

Christmas Labels to Love

Merry Christmas (Labels to Love)

written by Kylie

Hi, something very special arrived in my mailbox which I really wanted to share with you all. I was blessed to receive a gorgeous handmade Christmas card from my friend (and team leader), Melissa Gifford. Melissa has graciously given me permission to share this card with you!

Here’s the card…

I love everything about this card! I love how Melissa has used the Everyday Label punch to layer the sentiment. The foil snowflake is divine! (TIP: If you cut the snowflake in half like Melissa has done you can really maximise your investment in this product). I love the black rhinestones because, well, black bling…fantastic! The design of the card is wonderful and could be used for pretty much any theme.

Such a beautiful card! I’m grateful to Melissa for allowing me to share it with you today.
