Stampin' Up!'s Woodgrain as Snow??!

Good Evening Peeps.  

Ever made a card when you liked the idea, didn't like it as it was coming together then loved it when it was made?  This was the process I went through today.  I loved the playing that went into this especially as ideas weren't just popping into my head. 

I started off looking at my favourite challenges and decided to make a card to fit two of them.  Details of the challenges are below. 

To make the card I embossed the Bashful Blue mat with Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder on one edge only.  The tree is from Lovely as a Tree and is stamped in Whisper White on Night of Navy.  I found this in my scraps drawer so was happy to put it to good use. The snow drift was also a scrap from a previous card and when I looked at it I thought the Woodgrain made super snow drifts.  It naturally tore along the grain edge.  I love it when you discover different uses for your stash. 

I then stamped a snowflake from Mixed Medley (hostess set from Autumn/Winter mini due to finish in 2 days time!!) in Bashful Blue and added the sentiment in Night of Navy.  I popped up the middle circle with a Dimensional.  I punched out the snowflake sentiment with the 1 3/8" circle and the 3/4" circle punches. 

If there is anything in the Autumn/Winter catalogue that you would still like then please get in touch as soon as possible.  I would hate you to miss out!  Thanks for visiting me today. x 

Here's the challenges 

So first off Merry Monday which has a Tic Tac Toe challenge this week.

Plenty of choice there.  My card follows the top row - Blue, Dry Embossing, Snow. 

The second challenge was CASe This Sketch 

 Unfortunately the challenge closed earlier today.  Oh well thanks for the inspiration.

Pick a Square with Stampin' Up!

I had loads of fun making this card for my Aunt to give to her son.  I started with a Perfect Plum Card base and made square mats out of Elegant Eggplant.  I then added a further mat of Crumb Cake.  The Whisper White tops were punched out using the Square Punch and Curly Label Punch.  

Each square is decorated with different stamps from the following sets - Stylin' Snowfolk, Mixed Medley, Snow Much Fun, More Merry Messages, Four Seasons, and Pennant Parade.

I added some dimension and sparkle using Dimensionals for the punched circles and Silver Glimmer Paper.  

It was so much fun to make all these little squares.  You can really let your creative juices flow.

Stampin' Up!'s Mixed Medley snowflake

Good morning everyone.  Hope you are all well.  Another Christmas card to share today. 

This one uses Stampin' Up!'s Mixed Medley which is a super hostess set in the Autumn/Winter catalogue.  

Want to know what a hostess set is?  This is an exclusive section of the catalogue where the sets are reduced so your hostess pounds stretch further.  You earn hostess pounds with a qualifying order either individually, through collecting orders from friends/family or by having a party.  Each member of my Virtual hostess club is also a hostess for one of the months.  It's simple really.  Would you like to take part in being a hostess with the mostess?  There's a super promotion on just now rewarding qualifying sales with free ink pads.  Have a look at the Ink-credible flyer on my side bar. 

I've made my card today with CAS-ual Fridays in mind which this week is - so torn. 

CFC78- Create a Clean And Simple project that has something torn on it.

Tear that cardstock, designer paper or even felt. Get creative and tear it up :)

I've used some torn vellum for my Curly Cute greeting.  I stamped it in Pacific Point.  The background is the snowflake from Mixed Medley stamped in Tempting Turquoise.  I attached the vellum with a couple of Mini Glue Dots and added a Basic Rhinestone on top. I then sat the panel onto a mat of Pacific Point before adding to my Bashful Blue card base. 

Back to normal today.  Both children are in school.  Time to get some housework done.  Thanks for taking the time to drop in past. x

Snowflake Party in Pink!

Good Afternoon from not so sunny Aberdeen but at least it's dry! Oh and no snow!!

Less is More this week would like to see Pink.

I've teamed my pinks up with some Crumb Cake.  I used the new builder wheel Snowflake Party to give me a row of snowflakes.  You need the spindle spacer attachment for your Jumbo Wheel handle.  I had it every way but the right way until I figured out that the flat circle on the cap faces in to the wheel! Lol!

I used Pretty in Pink for the snowflakes and matted it onto Pink Pirouette.  Then stamped the snowflake from Mixed Medley in Pretty in Pink.  The middle was stamped in Melon Mambo and attached with a Dimensional.  Love this set.  It's one of the new hostess sets from the Autumn/Winter catalogue and has a great variety of themes.  Check out the fantastic hostess promotion that's on just now and you could buy this with your hostess pounds.  

I attached the snowflake to a matt of Pretty in Pink and double punched out using my Scallop Circle Punch. 

Well I hope it's not snowy with you and instead you are crafting in the last of the summer sun. Speaking of sun I must tell you about my drive into town on Thursday.  We had some lovely bright sunshine and my car was telling me it was 7 degrees.  Very nice for this time of year.  However I did not expect to see this sight standing on a corner basking in the sunshine.  An older man, leather trousers, grey hair and naked from the waist up!  Not a "hot" sight!! 

I'll leave you with that lovely picture in your mind.

Back to a Christmassy Ornament Keepsakes

Oooh I've got loads of news for you today.  Stampin' Up! are spoiling us this month. 

Firstly an early Christmas gift with purchase. 

Have a look  here to see the flyer in full. 

  

How fantastic to receive the Festive Paper Piercing set for free when you buy the Ornament Keepsakes Stamp Set and Candlelight Christmas Speciality Designer Series Papers!    The papers are gorgeous Christmas designs and there are 2 flocked window sheets included to make your projects even more special.  

I loved the stamp set from the minute I saw it on the front of the Autumn/Winter Catalogue.  It was top of my list along with the matching Holiday Ornament Framelits.  If you were thinking of buying the bundle then you can still take advantage of the promotion by including the papers and you still have the 15% discount when buying a bundle!!

I love it when we can offer freebies along with your purchases.  Do take a closer look at the offer. 

My card today used the Ornament Keepsakes stamped in Cherry Cobbler and Gumball Green.  I used the Holiday Ornaments Framelits to die cut the large ornament then mounted it onto Cherry Cobbler and cut out with my trusty Paper Snips.  I popped it up on a some Dimensionals and added some Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Details around the edge. The designer paper that I've used is Be of Good Cheer.  I love the little trees making up a design on this paper.  I tied some scrumptious  Cherry Cobbler Scalloped Tulle Ribbon around the bottom through a Designer Ribbon Slide.  A mini glue dot to the back keeps it in place.  And my small sentiment at the top?  It's from Mixed Medley, a hostess set found in the Autumn/Winter Catalogue. 

Speaking of Hostesses onto the second big piece of news.

This is absolutely INK-CREDIBLE as the title says.  Have a look here to see the flyer in full. 

Hostesses and customers through November until 16th December can take advantage of this fantastic offer. You can choose a collection of ink pads for free from Subtles, Brights or Regals.  That's 10 ink pads, all free!! 

You don't have to have a party to qualify, although it's always fun to get together, as long as you reach the qualifying sales order.  This is an opportunity not to be missed! 

I hope you can take advantage of these fantastic offers.
