Stampin Up's Summer Silhouettes Thank You

Good morning.  Have you got fun things planned for today?  I'm off to my exercise class this morning but as I haven't been for a few weeks I'm not sure what state I'll return in!! Lol

My card today is for two challenges. 

 CASology - Cue word Thanks 

Dynamic Duos - Sahara Sand and Cherry Cobbler

I've been loving playing with Stampin' Up!'s Summer Silhouettes and this colour combination is just fab for it.  I've made a few cards in this style and I'll get round to sharing them soon.  I've stamped onto Naturals Ivory Cardstock.  This is a slightly heavier based card with a creamy warmth and natural speckles through it.  I added Basic Pearls to my flowers and the panel is attached to a Cherry Cobbler base.  I punched one edge with the Scallop Trim Border Punch.  My sentiment is from Curly Cute stamped in Cherry Cobbler onto the Very Vanilla base. 

Are you getting that Christmas feeling yet?  My daughter practises her piano in the morning before going to school so as I type I'm listening to Oh Christmas Tree.  

Very festive!  x

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

Broadsheet Alphabet Joy Christmas Card

I've been wanting to join in with the CASe This Sketch challenge since it started.  They are already on Week 5 and finally I've found the time to join in. 

Here's the sketch

I've used Stampin' Up!'s Broadsheet Alphabet to make the word Joy stamped in Old Olive.  Here's a little trick for lining up your letters.  I scored a line to follow!   Then used my Stamp-a-ma-jig.  The scored line also helped when lining up my strip of Red Glimmer paper.  Have you seen this paper in the catalogue yet?  I can't express how sparkly it is.  It's a joy every time I open my drawer!! I love a bit of shiny shiny! 

It seemed a little bare so I added tiny snowflakes from Chock Full of Cheer.  I stamped the strip in Old Olive then punched out with the circle punch from Itty Bitty Shapes.  It fits them perfectly.  You wont be able to see from the photo but they are attached to Dimensionals. 

Well it's a dull rainy day here so best just stay in the craft room and get more cards done.  How are you with your Christmas cards?  All finished?  All written????

On the naughty step twice!!

Oh dear I was in such a rush to join in with Less is More on Saturday, I must confess I completely missed the LARGE letters saying ONE LAYER. Doh!!

Thanks to all the lovely people who still commented and bless you, you are so kind, no one had the heart to point out my error! Lol! 

So to correct my error I'm entering two cards to make up for it.

The first uses the little birdies from Stampin' Up!'s Aviary set again but this time I've used their cages as their houses.  Look they are saying Merry Christmas to each other! 

The branch is from Borderlines (now retired).  I stamped it in Gumball Green and gave it some red berries with my Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Write Marker.  I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig a lot on this one to position the cages, the birds and my Sentiment, which is from Chock Full of Cheer.  This is stamped in Cherry Cobbler along with the cages.  I hand wrote From our house to yours underneath using my marker.  It's great being able to match up inks this way. 

The birds are coloured with Chocolate Chip Stampin' Write Marker and a little Real Red on the Robin.  Doesn't he make a fab robin? 

So unsure if this would get me completely off the naughty step (cages not houses) my second card hopefully will. 

This is using the Stampin' Up! wheel Neighbourhood.  The only stamp that I have that actually has houses on it.  I used my wheel guide and rollered the houses in Basic Black.  I then doodled a couple of wreaths, a christmas tree and fairy lights onto my street using Gumball Green and Real Red Stampin' Write Markers.  I added glitter for snow along the roof tops, steps and bushes with my Versamark Pen, Heat and Stick powder and Dazzling Diamonds glitter.  

If anything my mistake has resulted in 3 more card for my Christmas pile yipee!  Am I off the naughty step yet?

The children have an In Service day today and my daughter has a friend over for a sleepover.  It's sleety rain outside so in door entertainment required. Must go and see what we can think up. x

Pennant Parade from our house to yours

Hello.

Our challenge this week from Less is More is houses. 

I really need to get cracking on some Christmas Cards.  With this in mind, I decided to use these Christmas trees from Stampin' Up!'s Pennant Parade as my houses and the little birds from Aviary were perfect to populate them.

I typed my sentiment on the PC using Scriptina for Merry Christmas and Footlight MT Light for the second part.  The bird on the bottom tree is stamped directly on the card base using Elegant Eggplant Stampin' Write Marker.

I stamped the trees using Cherry Cobbler and Gumball Green, then cut out.  The bottom tree is popped up on a Dimensional.  The top tree is glued directly to the card base with the little robin popped up on a Dimensional.  I inked him using my Stampin' Write Markers too using Chocolate Chip and Real Red.

Thanks for joining me today.  We've had a busy week in our house.  Starting with an enjoyable trip down to Glasgow to see Michael McIntyre.  Very funny man.  Then with visitors.  Back to normal as much as we can be at this time of year!! 

Hope you are keeping calm in the run up to Christmas.  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.

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.
