Holiday Ornaments Framelits from Stampin' Up!

You don't get to make much simpler cards than this one.  I think the silver glimmer paper from Stampin' Up! is probably my favourite product right now and it was easy to cut out an ornament using the holiday ornaments framelits, add a real red taffeta bow and a sentiment.  Well it would have been perfect but for the fact that I managed to catch the stamp edge and get two little extra marks around my sentiment so waste not want not policy crept in and I made use of two rhinestones.  Luckily for me the 'smudges' were at each end of the sentiment.  You've gotta have a bit of bling after all!

Please note

Last day for Christmas orders from Stampin' Up!  17 December

 

Have a great day!

Stampin' Border Banter

 

I just love the simplicity of the Stampin' Up! Border Banter Set in the AW12 catalogue.  You can use it throughout the year to add subtle background stamping like the chevrons above or for a sentiment in the 'merry merry merry........'  This is a great Christmas card as it's simple to make, flat for cheaper postage, but carries the message of joy at Christmas to your friends.  Check out the use of part of the 'merry' stamp in my previous post about the Stampin' Up! new paper trimmer.

 

It's used here with Be of Good Cheer designer series paper, linen thread and a partial stamp use from Greetings of the Season.  I hope yours is very merry.  Come back soon for more simple, but effective Christmas cards.

 

Enjoy the Season!
