GETTING THERE

It's amazing what you can achieve with production cardmaking and a Stamparatus, too windy here to be outside today so I've managed too get a few more packs put together.

Another of my favourite Stamp sets is Night in Bethlehem, there are so many ways to used it especially with it having the matching Bethlehem Edgelits Dies.

Running late (as i usually am) with my Christmas cards this is literally a five minute card







Whisper White cardstock   5¾ x 8¼ scored at 4⅛ (inches) - 14.5 x 21 scored at 10.5 (cm), a two inch strip of DSP. How quick and simple is that?

SKIPPY THE RED NOSED BOOMER

Having a lot of family and friend overseas it's nice to have something Aussie related for some of my Christmas cards. Who said you have to stick to Christmas stamps for your cards?.





I love the kangaroo in the Animal Outing Stamp Set, as lovely as a koala would be for Christmas I think wrapped pressies would be better on this card so I fussy cut them from the So Santa Stamp Set. In someways,  most of the the Stamp Set are very much mix and match, possibilities are endless, only limited to your imagination. The Santa hat I used is from a retired set but hey, there's a Santa hat in the same stamp set as the presents, a bit more fussy cutting.

Measurement for card

Card Base:Old Olive  5¾ x 8¼ scored at 4⅛ (inches) - 14.5 x 21 scored at 10.5 (cm)

Inside for Sentiment: Whisper White  5½ x 3⅞ (inches) - 14 x 9.5 (cm)

UNDERNEATH THE LAMP POST

When The Beautiful You stamp set first came out, I hate to say I really didn't like it, i never thought I would ever use it and to be honest I can't remember why I actually bought it but since I did I have grown to love it and can't tell you how many times I have used it.

This card was cased from German Demonstrator Simone Schmider .


Again I have used a retired item, the Christmas Lamp Post Thinlit Dies but again a substitution can be made, basically anything she can hang onto eg;


  • Lovely as a Tree Stamp set
  • Vertical Greetings Stamp set
  • At Home with You Stamp set
  • Ready for Christmas Stamp set
Measurement for card

Card Base: Basic Black 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)

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.
