Stampin' Up! Forever Evergreen

I talked about this Stampin' Up!  Forever Evergreen stamp set in my Christmas Card Club post as I used one of the other sentiments from the set and also explained it coordinated with a super Christmas Tree making kit.

However today I've used it to add garlands of fir with some lovely ornaments hanging from them.  I used my blender pens to colour them in with ink from the lid of my ink pads.  It works best on watercolour paper, but if you are quick you can create a little shading on our whisper white card stock.  I used some Candy Cane Lane paper to add a border and machine sewed it all together.  The bows on the ornaments are done using the 'fork' bow technique using a plastic fork tee her!  The bakers twine is whisper white with a real red sparkle twist in it which is super for parcel wrapping and neat embellishments on cards.  It comes with a roll of this and straight real red twine too!

This stamp set is easily overlooked in the catalogue as it's under the Forever Evergreen tree kit and can't really be seen in the picture and there are no other card pictures to show you what you can do, but I think it is fab so do take a look on page 35 of the Stampin' Up! UK winter catalogue.

I'll share some more cards with this set soon.

Christmas Card Club meets MAWTT

I'm catching up slowly with life and am beginning to feel like I'm on the mend so  I've killed two birds with one stone today to make my sketch card for Moving Along With The Times and also the festive bird theme in our Christmas Card Club set by Valery aka Mrs A.

I've used the Candy Cane Lane Designer Series Papers which you can buy during October and get a free pack for every 3 bought. There are 8 different packs to choose from so you can save yourself £10.  There's a new shopping rewards code which you need to add to your online order of £25 -£149.99.  Your order ships to you, but I'll send you a thank you gift separately for shopping with me.

To shop just look here in Zoe's Stampin' Up! shop.

Choose from 8 different designs including the two christmas sets below

 Candy Cane Lane 141981 

Presents & Pinecones 141986

In my design I've also used the Holly Berry Happiness stamp set and Holly Berry builder punch to decorate around my hand carved Robin stamp and add the festive bows.  I'll be using these items in my upcoming Stamp a Stack of Christmas Card events.  Check out my classes page for details or invite me to come and teach the class to you and your friends for a fun afternoon or evening.

Please take a look at the other Festive Birds cards in Christmas Card Club and join us for our sketch challenge at MAWTT.

Thanks for your patience while I've been absent. I'm hoping to be more consistent now.  Take care all.
