BUSY WEEKEND COMING UP

25 Days until Christmas and the way I am going with my cards the Easter Bunny will be delivering them.

Another 10 finished, I am doing them in batches of 10, the prep is done for all of them so now onto the production line of putting them together.



The quality of the photo isn't great but I still think it's a cute card. Plain, simple and very easy.

Two of the elements i have used are retired items, the paper and the Foil Snowflakes but like all Stampin' Up! products, latest ones can be substituted and i will mention some towards the end.

The paper I used was Year of Cheer Specialty Designer Series Paper from 2017 Holiday Catalogue, I loved it so bought heaps. 

The white background of the paper didn't work for what i wanted to a brayered it in Old Olive. Very versatile products.

SURFER SANTA


My Christmas card plan has come a little unstuck, I had intended to have them all finished by now, 160 needed , sadly only 50 done so the next week or so is going to be full on.

i had decided that I had enough Christmas stamps to get them done for this year, but I couldn't help myself with some of the sets in the Holiday Catalogue, they are just gorgeous and there is so much that can be made with them.

Living in Australia, the Surfer Santa, in the So Santa set is perfect especially when I have family and friends in much colder climates.






Someone mention to me the other day that it is great that the products used are shown but how about measurements, dah ! silly me should have thought of that. I'll go back to previous post and pop the measurements in as soon as I can.

Being a tad older, imperial measurement is what was taught when i went to school so that is what I use, please check my conversions is you go the metric way 

Card Base: Whisper White 5¾ x 8¼ scored at 4⅛ (inches) - 14.5 x 21 scored at 10.5 (cm)
Next layer:  Real Red or Old Olive 5½ x 3⅞ (inches) - 14 x 9.5 (cm)
Top: Whisper White  5¼ x 3⅝ (inches)  - 13.4 x 9.3 (cm)
Inside for Sentiment: Whisper White  5½ x 3⅞ (inches) - 14 x 9.5 (cm)

So far I have made 10 of these and how quick and easy was it using the Stamparatus, i cased this from Pinterest, it is so cute.
