stampin up Winter Frost….

IMG_2817 (Medium)More christmas cards made with Stampin Up Winter Frost designer paper.The card on the left uses a stampin up reindeer punch, while on the right I have used the mosaic punch again, but this time punched three, and folded them in half then stuck them together to give that 3d look. I also used  my martha stewart lace doily punch, and stampin up ribbons and cardstock. Today I have finished an order, made my sons birthday card and now I am back to a few more christmas cards, but I have an idea for a scrapbook layout buzzing around my head so i am going to do that before it drives me nuts! Til tomorrow…

Stampin Up christmas 2013

IMG_2816 (Medium)An early post today – These cards were made with primarily Stampin Up products. I have searched everywhere for my catalogue so that I could tell you the name of the designer paper, but to no avail, so will find out from my sister and edit this post at a later date to give you that info.* One of my followers – Kay has let me know that the stampin up designer paper is called Winter Frost.Lovely set of papers in this collection!Thank You kay. The cardstock is also stampin up, and I used the stampin up mosaic punch to punch out my bauble shapes.I punched them out of glitter cardstock. The colours I used here make a nice change from green and red for christmas don’t you think?Til tomorrow….

Definitely the last of Holly Bright

IMG_2815 (Medium)This is the last of my holly Bright paper collection. I have made an amazing amount of cards with this paper, but it’s time to move on! I used the 6″ pad for these two cards, and some Kraft and stampin up cardstock. I also used some of the collectables, and the greetings were from a 12 x 12 sheet.Ribbon and bling added the finishing touches.today has been all about housework, but i am about to head into the craft room to do some creating! til tomorrow….

Kaisercraft Holly Bright 12 and 13

IMG_2814 (Medium)A bit of everything from the Holly Bright collection on these two cards – the background papers are from the 6″ pad, the greetings from the sheet of 12 x12 paper, and some collectables thrown in. I added some xmas type flowers and ribbon and bling to finish. The cardstock is from stampin up.Today i have been making bright summery cards, when I should be having a last push at the christmas cards, but christmas still seems a bit far away to me for some reason this year – I think it’s because I still have a couple of birthdays before then and I can’t think seriously about christmas until they are past….til tomorrow….
