Anything goes for me this time!

When Stampin' Up! launched the Daisy Lane Bundle I wonder if they had thought about using it as a Christmas stamp set?  

Our challenge for the Christmas Card Club from Elizabeth was for ornaments this fortnight, but I don't have any ornament stamps at the moment so I've gone for the Anything Goes fail safe option.  I've used the Daisy Lane bundle and turned the beautiful daisy stamps into snowflakes.  I have fallen in love with the new in colour Pretty Peacock and am finding it useful in some many colour combos and here is no exception.  It's simple stamping using one Daisy stamp ontop of the other  to give a snowflake look. By adding some silver and sparkly irredescent sequins it instantly give a Christmas look.  My simple Happy Christmas is done using the carryover Merry Christmas to All stamp set and coordinating Merry Christmas dies. It's a pair of products that you can mix and match to create your sentiment of choice and you can add the happy for example to any birthday that you might already have.  I've cut two happy die cuts one in silver foil card and one in Pretty Peacock.  By just off setting them slightly it creates depth.   The Christmas is heat embossed with silver powder and punched out with the Classic Label punch.

I'm late posting as we are getting Charlie ready for an interview for his next life chapter and also for his school trip to South Africa where he is going to study Elephant migration patterns and learn to scuba dive.  I'm really proud of him as he has worked hard to earn the money to pay for the trip himself by getting his first job and also washing cars at my crafting events for the lovely ladies.  Exciting times for him and us as we watch him grow into a young adult.  

Don't forget you can check out more inspiration from the other ladies in the Christmas CC via the link above.  

The Daisy Lane stamp set or stamp and medium daisy punch bundle is available for purchase along with the Merry Christmas products in my online Stampin' Up! shop.

Christmas Card Club - Polar Bears of Teddy Bears

Valery chose Polar Bears or Teddy Bears for our Christmas Card Club Challenge this time. I was a bit stumped at first, but then remembered that Stampin' Up! set Cookie Cutter Christmas has a very cute bear and to be honest I had not used it before being drawn to the gingerbread man, Santa and Rudolph stamps instead.  However he's turned out to be perfect and I've teamed him up with some stickers from the Stampin Memories and More Santa's Workshop card pack, to give him a hat and cane. Once again the new Buffalo Check background stamp looks different in another colour namely Poppy Parade stamped onto card of the same name.

A handful of red rhinestones that I'm really finding useful for Christmas projects and a silver foil Happy stuck down by using the double sided adhesive sheets on the back of the foil card before die cutting it.  This helps you to cut a piece just the right size for the die.  The Christmas was stamped and heat embossed with white powder and die cut.

Now I started this challenge with a great plan to create a spinner card with the bear on a bauble and it got a little messy and complicated, but slowly it turned around and I'm happy to share although it isn't quite as elegant as I had planned, but then it is a spinner card with a teddy.

Using the Detailed Baubles Thinlits Dies I created an aperture for the spinner to fit inside and then I used a layering circle to cut one slightly smaller than the aperture.  I actually cut 2 in Pool Party and then stamped with the small Poinsettia flower from Dashing Deer and heat embossed a patterned in white.  I stamped and punched out the teddy from the Cookie Cutter set.  I added a layer of fine tip glue to the baubles and waited for it to dry as I was trying to create a sheen across the baubles. I added too much glue and so it was taking too long to dry.  I decided to add a teddy to each circle and push them down into the glue and then brushed of much of the glue so now instead of having a sheen they look more like papier mache which is fine just not what was planned.  I had to wipe off much of the glue so that the colour of the stamped bears didn't run.  It did a bit on the bow ties so to salvage I added another punched tie for each side.  Once done I left it to dry in the hope that all would not be lost.  It's turned out ok I guess in the end.  

 Now it was a little fiddly bringing it all together, but I used some silver cord from my stash and threaded it through the outer pretty border and by adding lots of double sided tape on each back of the bear circles I was able to secure it in the middle of the two circles.  I added pearls and a bow along with some more red rhinestones to enhance the bauble.

All's well that ends well and I think it would please a young child if not me! 

Remember the other ladies will have gorgeous creations to inspire you so please do visit their blogs via the Christmas Card Club button at the top of my blog, but just before you go here's a couple of pics of bears we saw in Canada on our trip this summer. 

Bears seen on our extended trip to Vancouver

I love bears

Happy Sunday all, hope you have a great week. I'm going to be busy visiting the hospital for my pre-op appointment with the hope that the scheduled operation the following week to fix my Achilles will go ahead.  Wish me luck.

Challenges

Winterwonderland Challenge - use ribbon or twine

CHNC # 403 - Use gingham, check

Die cutting Divas - Any animal

It's time for Christmas Card Club today.  I've taken the option of Anything Goes for my theme as opposed to Nativity chosen by Margaret down in Australia.  

I'm sharing some cards I've made using sneak peeks from the winter catalogue coming soon and also this month's limited edition stamp and die bundle from Stampin' Up! Blended Seasons. 

The card above is one we made at card club earlier this month. It's really easy and the beautiful papers do the talking for you.  From one 12 x 12 (30.5cm x 30.5cm) sheet of patterned paper you can make at least 7 cards.  Cut three strips that are 10cm x 30.5cm.  Then cut two matt layers from each strip that are 10cm x 14.3cm.  Keep the off cut ends for a further card that you can see below.  

I then cut a stitched shape using the dies from the Blended Seasons and used the Stampin Up Stamparatus positioning tool to stamp the holly in versa mark and heat embossed with gold powder.  The Stamparatus was also used to stamp Merry Christmas from the same set in Cherry Cobbler ink.  This piece is simply layered onto the designer paper and you have simple but effective cards that are easy to post and quick to make.  If you do each stage of the card and prep several you can have many made in a short time, leaving time for the special family cards we all like to make. 

Remember the off cuts from above this is where I used them.  The beauty of Stampin' Up! papers is that they are double sided and so you can mix and match strips to create a design that suits you.  I've simply stuck them on a thick white card base and added the die cut sentiment from the incoming Merry Christmas Thinlet Dies.  You'll see below that I didn't waste the negative of the sentiment and carefully saved the mini pieces to add to all the letter loops for the card below.  This is champagne foil card on a real red card base.  To make this really easy use double sided adhesive sheets on the reverse of your foil card before die cutting. 

Also before sticking I ran the negative through the big shot with a new embossing folder called Swirls and Curls.  

With this simple approach I'll have fab Christmas cards lined up in no time! That's my plan anyway. 

I hope you'll look around the other ladies in our group for more Christmas card inspiration. You can find them in the CC Club tab above.  

The Colour Your Season products are only available this month and will not appear in a future catalogue with the exception of the watercolour pencils.  You can shop online to buy individual items or you can buy the stamps and dies as a bundle and save 10%.  SHOP NOW

Christmas Card Club

Angels or Fairies is Margaret 's choice for our club challenge today and I have to say I don't have many of either in my Stampin' Up! stash, but I dug out this little cheeky angel from many years ago and created a very quick and easy card for you today.

I've gold heat embossed the angel onto white card and added a sentiment from Oh What Fun in the annual Stampin' Up catalogue in archival basic grey ink.  The image is then mounted onto basic grey card and gold foil card with stampin dimensionals between the grey and gold foil card.  I used my new Stamparatus to position the mistletoe garland from Merry Mistletoe into a central position below my angel image and stamped in basic grey ink.  As you know by now I 'need' a bit of bling and today it's in the form of a tiny rhinestone just on the centre of the bow.

The base card is smokey slate and I've I used an old corner rounder to soften the card corners at the base.  You could make similar cards to this in no time at all.

Don't forget to visit all the Christmas Card Club ladies, as they each have some fabulous designs that are all very different and offer fabulous inspiration.

Thanks for visiting me today have a great Sunday and all the best for the week ahead.

Christmas Card Club - Christmas Flowers

Stampin' Up! Botanical Builders Framelits have been my got to dies this week with my Totally Techniques post a couple of days ago with the Bokeh technique and now today for our fortnightly Christmas Card Club challenge set this time by Carol who has two super cards to share with you so please  do visit her and the other other lovely ladies by clicking on the link at the top of my blog.  

I've gone for white and silver and whilst I've made this a Christmas card by adding a simple 'Happy Christmas' you could turn it just as easily into a silver wedding card or card for a special birthday just by changing your sentiment.

As a base for your card you can use the stitched shape framelits to add the white circle and some organza ribbon and the silver thread ribbon is from the now sadly retired SAB freebie gifts.  I've used the dies to cut various flowers and leaves and a bone folder to add little touches of dimension to create veins on the two centre leaves.  You can also just see some of my lifetime supply of silver thread to just life the sentiment which I stamped with individual words from Designer Tin of Tags stamp set in Memento black ink.

It's a peaceful day here although I'm enjoying thinking of my wonderful  hubby who is on a spa, yes a spa, day with his colleagues.  I'm intrigued to hear how his day has gone when he gets home.  Olivia is out watching Beauty and the Beast with the Brownies and Charlie is, he tells me, doing his homework, but I'm sceptical as I don't think the teachers usually set computer games for home study!!! Me I'm typing for you and then making delicious gift wrap for my teamie presents as I'm off to Amsterdam for a big Stampin' Up! event later in the week.

Enjoy your Sunday and don't forget to visit the other ladies blogs for oodles of lovely inspiration.

Christmas Card Club - Something a bit different

Stampin' Up! Pop of Paradise - Pineapples for Christmas?

Well I'm not sure why I do it, but towards the end of the year our lovely leader, Margaret, at the Christmas Card Club Challenge asks us for our themes for our personal challenges and for some unknown reason I always try to pick something that will be a little different to the 'norm'. I then struggle to come up with something and so I promise ladies I will stick with 'Anything Goes' for my future choices.

However I think I have come up with a card that will at the very least please my lovely friends in Virginia in the USA as the pineapple is their state fruit I believe.

Colours here are melon mambo, basic gray, black and white. Using the Stampin' Up! set Pop of Paradise I've created a tropical Christmas tree and used the coordinating designer series paper, Pop of Pink, to  add a stand for my tree.  The sentiment comes from Teeny Tiny Sentiments for the Merry Christmas and 'from all of us' is from one of our current Sale-a-bration free gift sets.

I'm looking forward to touring the other ladies cards to see how they tackled my challenge.  You too can visit their cards by clicking  HERE

Christmas Card Club - Post Box

I got all mixed up with Christmas Card Club and missed a couple, but I'm hopefully back on track now with this one which was set by Valery who asked us to feature a post box.  I went for the punch art option and a very clean and simple card.

I used some Stampin' Up! dazzling diamonds glimmer paper along the bottom to give some depth and distance between the trees and and my punch art post box and as you know I love a bit of bling.  The trees are from the popular Sleigh Ride Edgelits and with the fine tip glue pen (I'm lovin' this new glue from the winter catty) I've added some dazzling diamonds glitter to the trees to make them look like they have tinsel adorning them.  If you like the Stampin' Up! Sleigh Ride Edgelit dies you can see another example and the other dies in the set on my earlier Christmas Card Club post.

Sentiment is from Oh What Fun, which you will have seen a taste of in my earlier post featuring the MAWTT challenge card.

Travelling home today from Brussels so look out soon for some sneak peeks as we are due to get our hands on the new Spring/Summer catalogue and maybe a treat to play with so watch this space.

Have a good Sunday.

Christmas Card Club - Embossing

My is it me or are the weeks going even quicker on their journey to Christmas.  It's time for Christmas Card Club and Gran Margaret's choice for the challenge is embossing either heat or textured impressions.  I've got a little of both on my card.  I've heat embossed my simple, but elegant sentiment using Versamark ink and Stampin' Up! gold embossing powder. The sentiment is part of the oh so gorgeous Embellished Ornaments set from the Stampin' Up! Autumn/Winter catalogue along with the black glimmer paper which doesn't have to be just for Halloween projects.  You'll see I"ve also used the embossing folder, Large Polka Dot, to add some texture to my red foil ornament.

If you like the basic rhinestones then you'll love the iced rhinestones embellishments. They are larger than the basics, but then have an extra rim around them which rightly or wrongly I would describe as being similar to a beautifully crimped pie crust.  You can used the Delicate Ornament Thinlits Dies to cut out a varied selection of ornaments and can mix and match segments and textures.  The gold and red foil card is perfect for shimmer and all these lovely ingredients satisfy my need for bling.

Check out all the other ladies lovely projects in our challenge club and if you'd like to join us please do let me know. All styles welcome.

Have a great week.

Christmas Card Club - Stampin' Up! UK Punch Art

Christmas Card Club Penguin

Another fortnight and time for another Christmas Card Club Challenge, set this time by Carol.
The challenge being to incorporate a penguin on your card.  I found this cute little fellow and adapted him slightly to what I had to hand, by googling Stampin' Up! Punch Art Penguin.  This is a great way to find images for punch art and often there are some explanations of punches used.

I've used the Hardwood stamp on my signpost and Happy Hour for my holly.  The decorative dots embossing fold gives a fab snow effect;  you might remember it was a gift during our annual Sale-a-bration promotion, but if you missed it you'll be glad to know it's going back online in our new annual catalogue which goes live on 1 July. If you haven't got your copy yet please contact me to make arrangements to get one.

Colours used above include soft sky, silver, garden green, real red, pumpkin pie, chocolate chip, whisper white and basic black.    The punches are numerous but to name a few circles, mosaic, scallop circles, owl punch and elegant butterfly.  Can you see where they all appear?

Please now visit all the blogs of the other lovely ladies in our Club as they have lots of gorgeous inspiration for you.

Have a great week and back soon with my Father's Day Card.  Can't show today as my Dad will get it on his return from a weekend with friends.

Christmas Card Club - Stampin' Up! Sassy Salutations

Stampin' Up! Perfect Blend and Sassy Salutations

Well it's my turn at Christmas Card Club and months ago when I set the challenge to use

1. 3 brads
2. 1 button
3. ribbon
4. one other embellishment

I thought it sounded like a good challenge, but never really gave it much thought or planning than that! The day has come and well it's not an easy challenge and although it sounded good at the time of publishing it's not been good, but I'm sure when I visit my fellow club members they will have excelled as usual and all made stunning cards!  I've gone for simple in the end and nipped back to my Perfect Blend stamp set.  This card is a take also on my swap for the Stampin' Up! UK regional training day that I attended yesterday.  What a fab day surrounded by fun folk, who craft and lots of ideas and tips.  We also got sneak peeks from the new annual catalogue and the chance to see the new in colours in real life. What more could a gal want!!!!

 So on my card I've used real red, old olive, basic black and crumb cake inks.  I've used the paper piecing technique to add colour and dimension to my Christmas coffee cup i.e.  you stamp the image firstly on whisper white card stock and then here I stamped on designer series paper from the brights stack.  I then carefully cut out the piece I wanted to make it appear to have a band around the cup. 

My challenge features are the retired brads up in the top left corner, my silver ribbon and my button with the extra embellishment of a rhinestone, you just know I had to have bling in there somewhere!

Today I'm at the Sincerely Yours Craft Show at Newark Showground.  Be sure to pop by and say hello!  Enjoy your weekend and back soon. Zx

Christmas Card Club - Festive Flurry meets Banner Blast

Stampin' Up! Festive Flurry meets Banner Blast

This club challenge is really great as it often stretches my thought patterns and most definitely my imagination and use of products.  Our current challenge has been set by Christine who's challenge title is 'Let's see some wings' and her suggestion comment is

'I thought this week we could make something with wings. Now this could be angels, Christmas fairies, or birds of some sort or another.'

Now I felt I'd excelled myself a fortnight ago in my Stampin' Up! undefined post by designing and making my own Robin stamp for the feature a robin challenge.  However this one really caught me on the hop! I thought and I thought and I th......... and I decided to make snowflake fairies for those of you who are thinking I've lost the plot!  I was inspired by my lovely friend Victoria who made a stamp using undefined with a very simple but effective image which you can see here. 
To make my fairies I used Stampin' Up! 's Festive Flurry set and then added my own arms and legs and used the Starburst framelit dies to make a head and drew the faces.  The banner is made using free twine from the Sweet Sorbet Saleabration accessory kit along with stamped banners again a free gift of the stamp set Banner Blast and free Banner punch.

To create the matting layer I embossed with Decorative Dots embossing folder some silver foil sheet and added a sentiment from Snow Day.

For more bling and sparkle because after all that's just what Christmas needs I've added some rhinestones and silver glimmer paper. Downside with all this silver and shine it's difficult to photograph, but I think this shows the twinkle!

Hope you are having a wonderful day and the sun is shining with you too!

northern flurry stampin' up! embossing - christmas messages

 

Another Christmas Card Club and I've come to post my card with great excitement that it's only Saturday night and I'll have it posted on time for tomorrow. Ah well that would be fantastic if I hadn't got the date wrong. This should have appeared last Sunday so I'm late, but have nonetheless enjoyed making this card. I'm also pleased that I've done a bit of upcycling by using the leftover die cut remains from this kit.

Can you tell which bit is upcycled?

Our challenge was set by the Mary and she set us the task of using red or featuring a heart.  Well I've used red and featured a heart because this card could be adapted very easily for Valentine's with a different embossing folder and sentiment. 
I love the heat embossed doily framing my heart and embellishments and the glimmer paper die cut left over was too lovely to go to waste.  We crafters just can't throw things away can we...... 
Of course I also loved using the Happenings Simply Created Card kit too making cards for all my clever hostesses who've booked a party during Sale-a-bration. 

I will be back soon.

Have a great week!

Christmas Card Club - Snowballs and Glitter

 

 

A challenge of 'Roll Up Roll Up Snowballs and Glitter' has been set this fortnight by Sue W  which hasn't been easy for me as I had nothing remotely like a snowball fight in my stash and although we girls in the Christmas Card Club are always ready to help each other when asked, I wanted to try and work  around my predicament and so I reached for my trusty snowman set Cold Play and I've made a juggling snowman standing in lots of glittery snow, which hopefully we won't be today! You can see another snowman Christmas card idea of mine in a post back in November.

 

To make the texture of the snow around his body I've torn the edges of scrap pieces of whisper white card stock and addes dazzling diamond glitter using a two way glue pen.  A cherry cobbler ruffle of ribbon and scarf match his cherry cobbler embossed Santa hat and his juggling snowballs are made from silver glimmer paper and snowflake stamps, punched and covered with some adhesive domes from the builder brad kit.   He look like he's having fun I hope you do this weekend.

Tree Trimmings with Stampin' Up! Labels Framelits

It's time to share another Christmas Card Club Challenge with you. This time it's my challenge and I've set everyone the task of  'using and aperture'.  The reason for this is I wanted to make one of these box cards and use one of the Stampin' Up! new framelits labels collection dies.  These beautiful dies can be used with your big shot or similar die cutting machine.  There are 6 dies with the largest being 13.3 cm wide.  They come in a sturdy envelope for easy and safe storage.  You can layer them or use two to cut frames like the silver one on my lower sentiment.  I've used one also for my aperture. 

Tree trimings has been one of my favourite christmas stamp sets, not only because it's a really good price at £12.95 for 4 stamps, but also because it's really pretty and is easy to use for quick as well as elaborate cards.  I've made spinner ornaments by stamping two and sticking them back to back on some elastic cord.  The background image is from Creative Elements  which I've stamped in night of navy or versamark on the shimmery white or night of navy cardstock.  I wanted to emboss my sentiments so I inked my stamps first in versamark then the navy ink before stamping and then added clear embossing powder before heating.  I love rhinestones and you need a bit of sparkle for Christmas. 

You may be thinking how's she going to post that box card, well it just folds flat and goes in a normal envelope, but looks impressive when opened by the recipient. 

Don't forget to check out the other ladies' blogs in the Christmas Card Club for more inspiration.  You can find them listed in my sidebar, including Hazel's blog and she has a Christmas card challenge each week, which conveniently suits my card also.  She wants to see you use blue, so check out the challenge and have a go!

Stampin' Up! Winter Post for Christmas Card Club

I joined the Christmas Card Club for a fortnightly challenge and to get better organised with making my Christmas cards.  I never dreamt it would challenge me quite so hard!  The first week was a card using more than 2 folds.  You can see my card here.  I thought that was a tough one to start on, but Sally has set the challenge of winter sports this time and as I'm committed to using Stampin' Up! products I found I didn't have a single winter sport set, so thanks to my fellow demonstrator Bekka I had some stamped skaters to play with.  Here's my first card which I wasn't really happy with, but my daughter ooh'd and ahh'd so I've decided to share it with you. 

The early espresso background has clear embossed snowflakes from the Serene Snowflakes set and the sentiment is from Pines and Poinsettias.  Brushed gold and real red cardstock frame the image having been cut out using the Big Shot and the Petal Cone die.  Real red striped grosgrain and victoria lace ribbon are gorgeous accessories.

My second version is more pleasing to me.  It features the lush, luxurious Stampin' Up! Mocha Morning Designer Series Papers, along with glimmer brads, gold glitter adhered with heat and stick powder and versamark ink and also the very versatile oblong frame from the Designer Frames embossing folder.  A sentiment from new Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set and the finishing touch is vanilla velvet ribbon from the Stampin Up spring Mini 2012.  Also featured is the eyelet border punch which I used to trim the bottom edge of the card and then reinstated it with chocolate chip cardstock.

Don't forget to look around the other blogs in Christmas Card Club to draw lots of great inspiration.  You can find their blogs in my sidebar.

Christmas Card Club

Today is my first contribution to Christmas Club.  Yes hard to believe I'm thinking about Christmas but like many of you I was way behind on card making when I hit Christmas 2011 and I happened to comment on Sylvie's blog that she is really organised making Chrimbo cards already.  She came back to me and said that the ladies in the club had started their club for that very reason,  they weren't organised!!!!!  They invited me to join and now each fortnight one of the club suggests the challenge and everyone makes a Christmas themed card using that challenge.  In my opinion I chose a tough one to start on as it had to be a card with more than the usual one fold line.  The challenge also stated that it couldn't be an easel card so I set too hunting about my craft room and remembered an interesting card made at craft club.  It was set then by the lovely Jenny and it reminded me of a lovely lady Kath who also attended our club.  Sadly she passed away last year and so this card is for Jenny, thank you for the technique, and for Kath as yesterday our craft club met for a day of crafting and we fondly remembered our friend and how helpful and generous she always was to us all. 
Now the card is also a gift inself as it opens from the picture above to the 'door step' below.  I've kept the colouring simple on the inside and hopefully the snow gives you the message of Christmas and the sentiments confirm it. 

Do pop by the other ladies in the Christmas Club as they all have beautiful cards to show you.  We all have different styles too so I'm sure you will find lots of inspiration. You can find all their blogs in my side bar.  Have yourself a fortnightly blog hop of Christmas cheer!
Finally I want to thank the Card Club ladies for the wonderfully warm welcome I've received on joining the Club and hope I don't let them down. 
Have a great day.
Happy Stampin'
