Hello Everyone,

Christmas comes round early for crafters, and Stampin’ UP! have released a new stamp set to help us get started.

This is Carols of Christmas and is available as a bundle with coordinating dies.

I have used traditional green and red for this project.

The card base is made from Tranquil Tide card stock.

I used the matching dies in the bundle to create a decorative white layer. I wanted to pull in some red so I cut a piece a fraction smaller to sit behind it.

The sentiment was stamped in Tranquil Tide ink, die cut with a layering square framelit and then added to a Real Red scalloped square.

The baubles were stamped on to the card with Smoky Slate ink. I stamped these again on to some scrap with Garden Green ink and die cut them. These were added to the card with mini dimensionals.

Finally, I added some pine boughs with I die cut from Pear Pizzazz card stock.

Good Morning,

I wanted to used some different colours, so I took some inspiration from Stampin’ UP!

The colours used are Crushed Curry, Calypso Coral and Tranquil Tide.

I stamped the sketchy flower from the Pieces and Patterns stamp set on to some Whisper White card.

I added two strips of Calypso Coral ombre ribbon.

The sentiment was made into a “rosette”. The starburst punch came in handy to help create this effect. I added “tails” using Calypso Coral card.

Hi there,

For today’s project I have made use of the Fabulous Foil Designer Acetate to add interest.

The card base is made from Emerald Envy card stock.

A Whisper White layer was die cut with the Lovely Words “friend” thinlit.

A piece was foiled acetate was cut a little smaller and positioned to allow a Layering Oval die to be lined up over the word, taped in place and then die cut.

The acetate was adhered in place with glue dots “hidden” behind a foiled dot.

Using the same Layering Oval and a larger Scalloped Oval, I cut a Lemon Lime Twist frame. Some multi purpose glue was used to adhere this to the card.

To finish, I added a bow tied from Emerald Envy grosgrain ribbon.

Hey there Everybody,

In a complete contrast to yesterday, this card is understated but elegant. There are sadly unfortunate occasions where this kind of card is needed.

I cut black card stock lengthways at 4 1/8 inches and then scored the width at 5 7/8 inches to make the card base.

The background layer of Very Vanilla card stock was embossed with the Petal Burst embossing folder.

For the centre piece, I stamped the sentiment in clear versamark ink then heat embossed this with gold powder. This was cut out with the Starburst punch and adhered to a Vanilla Stitched Circle die cut.

A scalloped circle was then die cut from black card stock. Before adhering the sentiment, I attached some Metallic Edge ribbon, which I then wrapped around the background layer before adding to the card base.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The products used are listed and linked to the shop below.

Now is a great time to join Stampin’ UP! There’s a new Autumn/Winter catalogue launching soon for customers, but Demonstrators get to see it early! ….. And it is fab-u-lous!!

Good Morning,

Using patterned paper can really help with crafter’s block. No need to decide which colours to use.

Today I have picked out a pattern from A Whole Lot of Lovely collection.

The card base was made from Peekaboo Peach card stock to pull out the colour from the flowers on the paper.

A bold sentiment was stamped with black ink on to Soft Sky card stock. From the same set I also stamped some extra leaves with Pear Pizzazz ink.

I added some gold mini sequin trim and gold metallic enamel shapes.

Hi there Everyone,

My wonderful upline sent me this stamp set as a reward for my recent promotion to a Silver demonstrator.

This is a simple card, but I think it showcases the set beautifully.

The orchids are made up using three stamps. The petals are stamped with Sweet Sugarplum ink, while the centres were stamped with Berry Burst ink.

The elements were fussy cut and layered together. After positioning the flowers, the stem was built up by stamping directly on to the Whisper White layer using Always Artichoke ink.

The orchids were secured in place with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The sentiment, also from the Climbing Orchid set and stamped with Sweet Sugarplum ink.

The card base was made from Always Artichoke.
