Christmas Card Club

Yes another fortnight has passed and it's time for Christmas Card Club Challenge. This time the lovely Lorraine has set the challenge. We had to make a card where the sentiment was the key feature of the card.  I think I've achieved that and this card does exactly what it says on the tin! 

Stampin' Up! Timeless Type Junior Alphabet Sizzlits with Holly Berry DSP

A great way for you to cut out letters is for you to use your Big Shot and the Stampin' Up! Timeless Type Junior Alphabet sizzlits.  They offer you both upper and lower case letters and here you can see I've used the upper case die cutting letters from the different sheets of the Holly Berry Bouquet Specialty Designer Series papers.   Snowflakes in soft suede from the Serene Snowflakes stamp set and the lace border punch gives a pretty decorative border along with pearls, rhinestones and taffeta real red ribbon. 

Don't forget to check out the other challenge members blogs for more inspiration and if you fancy joining please let one of us know.

Back with another Christmas Challenge on 17 June.

School Jubilee Picnic

Charlie had a school jubilee picnic yesterday and was asked to bring a red, white and blue themed cake/snack for dessert and so I went the whole hog and made a cake for each child in his class and a few more! No there are more than 7 in his class they just wouldn't all fit in my photo cube!! LOL

They did take some carrying to school though with these festive picks included.  You can make your own cake decorations using Stampin' Up! products to any theme you choose.  My crown is from one of my favourite stamp sets Artistic Etchings.  It's a favourite for two reasons;  I love all the stamps in the set they are so fun and with the Eiffel Tower included you can make male and female cards with this set. The second reason is I won it in prize patrol at convention in Paris last year which you can attend as a demonstrator. 

Stamped in night of navy on whisper white cardstock and matted onto a real red scallop circle you can't help, but be a patriotic winner!  Of course it also lets me add my bling as rhinetones work perfectly for the DIAMOND jubilee as well as being a girls best friend!

Have a wonderful Jubilee weekend.
