Happy New Year

Hello everyone.  

Its New Years Eve and I hope you are all in a party mood.

I have a card to share today to celebrate the start of 2019 using the Broadway Birthday Bundle from Stampin' Up.

I love this set as its great for all ages and also for any celebration.

I wanted to make this card to celebrate the New Year so I used black and gold as a colour scheme.  I also slipped in some stamping using Making Christmas Bright which is still available, but you need to hurry.

To make the card I started with a piece of white card stock and added a strip of the matching Designer Series Paper to the edge and added a little border of black card stock.

Next I die cut a circle using the Stitched Shapes Framelits and stamped the star wreath in black.  I then heat embossed in gold the word "hooray" and added a little sentiment banner.

To finish the card I heat embossed and die cut the little party hat and added some black stars.

It also needed a little extra sparkle as its New Year and so I added some sequins from my own stash.

Thanks for stopping by today and I would like wish you a Very Happy New Year and all the best for 2019.

Merry Christmas Makes - Wishing You A Very Happy Christmas

Its Christmas Eve.

We are so excited.  I am just stopping by with a final post using the Making Christmas Bright Bundle from Stampin' Up!

Merry Christmas Makes

I have several cards to share today.  I could go on creating with this beautiful set.

Don't forget to check out the Year End Closeout and grab this set while you can.

There are also lots of gorgeous craft goodies at discounted price also and you can find them HERE.

To make this card I also used Lovely As A Tree and stamped the fir tree at the top and bottom in pear pizzazz and garden green ink.

I then added a few of the Christmas light bulbs and finished with a greeting.

This card was also very easy to make and I just love the sentiment.

I stamped the star wreath in garden green and added a few of the stars.  I then finished with the sentiment in the middle which I heat embossed in gold.

My final card is very similar to the first card where I used lovely as a tree but I added a few gold heat embossed stars. 

Thanks for stopping by today and I would like to thank you for all your support.

I would also like to wish you a Very Happy Christmas and a fantastic 2019.

See you next year. 

 Don't forget there will be a lovely new catalogue coming in the New Year which begins 3rd January.

Daring Cardmakers - Lets Decorate

Hello everyone.

Who is excited for Christmas?  

We are and especially now that the children have finished school.

This is the last challenge from Daring Cardmakers for this year but we will be ready with lots more lovely challenges in the New Year.

Todays challenge is another step away from the cards and this time we would like to see a decorative item.  This could be something for your tree, a wreath for your door, table centres, or maybe crackers.  

But it doesn't have to be for Christmas.

I made these really cute snowmen LED tea lights to hanging in the tree.

I bought some LED tea lights really cheap from a local shop and used the flame part for the snowman's nose.

I then die cut the snowman's head,  hat, holly, eyes and mouth using a die from Spellbinders.

I then added some gingham ribbon so it can be hung in the Christmas tree.

I love his little light up nose, so cute.

Thanks for stopping by today and please stop by the BLOG over at Daring Cardmakers to see more lovely inspiration from the Design Team.

From everyone at Daring Cardmakers we would like to wish you a very happy Christmas and all the best in 2019.

Simple Stamping

Good morning everyone.

I have a lovely simply stamped card to share today.

I have just one stamp set and 3 colours of ink.  This is a great card for a beginner stamper or if you like the clean and simple look.

I used the Snowflake Sentiments stamp set to create the card.

I started with a piece of white card stock and stamped the snowflake from the set onto the corners of the card using Balmy Blue and Smoky Slate ink.

I then stamped the greeting in the centre using black ink.  I then added a few sequins for a bit of Christmas bling.

And that's the card finished.

Quick and easy and just so pretty.

Merry Christmas Makes #12

Good morning everyone.

I only have a couple more projects to share with you before the big day arrives.

My children are very excited now and the Christmas tree is up.

So today I have a little box idea to share with you.  Super quick and easy to make for those last minute gifts.

To make the bag you will need a piece of card stock that measures 8"x 11"

I then stamped my design all over the cardstock using real red. 

Tone on tone looks so pretty.

Next score one the long side at:

2", 5 1/4", 7 1/4" and 10 1/2"

Score on the short side at 2".

Next you need to use your scissor and snip up the bottom panels.  Like in the picture above.

Add some glue to the thin strip and adhere your box sides together.

Also fold in the box bottom and add some glue.

Your box is now ready to decorate.

I used a few stamps from the Making Christmas Bright Bundle along with some beautiful gold embossing to embellish the bag.

I also closed the top of the bag with these super fun All Is Bright  paper clips.

These paper clips are also in the year end close out.  So hurry and grabs yours before the stock runs out.
