A Double Helping of Emboss Resist Christmas Cards using Peaceful Pines by Stampin' Up!

Hello!
I hope you have had a wonderful time with family and loved ones this Christmas. We have pretty much stayed in the house since Christmas eve and chilled, it's been a much needed break for everyone :-)
I do have a few last Christmas makes to share with you so I will do a couple of posts over the next few days sharing the last of the festive makes from this year, perhaps you might be able to adapt the layout or ideas for non-christmas makes?
So, as promised the other day I have a duo of cards to share with you today, the first, Mint Macaron, was from the PEaceful Pines class I held a few weeks ago and the second, Night of Navy, one was just an extra I made with the circle die cut from THIS shaker card (also from the class).
Lets start with the Mint card...

 I stamped using Versamark and heat embossed over using Iridescent Ice powder

Then, using a sponge dauber and starting in the centre, I inked in a circular motion to get this hazy look.

 Finish with a few white perfect accents and thats this card, done.

 And card two. This one was heat embossed in white onto a circle that I die cut whilst making THIS card. I then inked over using a sponge and navy ink to make this card.

 A closer look at the tree

 I added the sentiment onto a die cut tree adding a few extra snowflakes from the set too.

 I used the Watercolour Wash background stamp with heat and stick powder and Dazzling Diamonds glitter for this card. It's really sparkly IRL but very difficult to photograph ;-)

 and a top view to finish today

Well, I hope you liked todays cards? Don't forget to take a look in the Clearance Rack for a bargain or two from the Autumn/Winter catalogue which will finish on the 4th January when the new Spring/Summer catalogue* launches. *You can Message me for a copy and I'll post out after the bank holiday :-)

Thanks so much for looking today,

7 Christmas Cards using Peaceful Pines Stamps and Perfect Pines Dies by Stampin' Up!

Hello there,

 So, I have finally finished work for a week after doing a whole load of extra shifts this last month or so, and what happens? Yep, I ended up in bed poorly for the last 24 hours! Luckily I'm feeling much better today as I had to brave the big christmas food shop, it was bedlam out there today :-] Anyway, let's get onto todays card. And in an effort to share all the festive cards I have still to blog before Christmas I have a whopping 7 cards tonight! They are all quite similar, but each a bit different. 

I started by stamping a whole heap of these trees in lots of different colours using all the stamps from the Peaceful Pines set then die cutting them out before choosing which went best together. 

Please, take a look...

Add Dazzling Diamonds glitter using a glue pen

 I'm really going to miss this silver cord...

 A little TIP: Tie the bow then add a tiny dot of crystal effects behind the knot, clip in place (use a peg or paperclip), once dry the bow will sit perfectly :-)

 The sentiment I used is from the hostess only set "Six Sayings", I love this font!

 Pink and Crumb Cake

 And more Crumb Cake with Navy, that's been a winning combo for me this year :-)

 And there you have them all! I hope you have enjoyed todays picture heavy post and do pop back tomorrow for more Christmas fun!

Peaceful Pines by Stampin' Up! to make a Shaker Card for Christmas.

Hello,
How are your Christmas preparations going? We finally put up some of our Christmas decorations (you can see some on my Facebook page HERE) but I have been working loads of extra nights lately so am really behind on a lot of things I usually do in the evening like wrapping! And card writing!
Anyway, todays card is one of four I designed for a Perfect Pines class a few weeks ago. I had been dying to use the Perfect Pines stamps and matching dies and this class was the perfect excuse, so lets see the first card shall we?
I designed a shaker card to start this class with the poinsettia DSP from the Season of Cheer pack, which is now just £6.00 btw! and it's really lovely paper!! See...
(so sorry, my colours are a bit off for this card, hopefully you get the idea though)

 I added cherry cobbler twine with a splash of gold sequin trim.
See how to secure your sequins to stop them unravelling HERE.

 The sequins inside are from my stash including some beautiful Christmas themed ones my lovely friend Holly gave me last year, thanks Holly!
See My Shaker Card Video Tutorial HERE

 The gold embossed tree serves a dual purpose of being both decorative and the sentiment too!

 I finished this card with a few Home For Christmas Enamel Dots, (also in the sale at £3.19!)

 and don't forget to use this hostess code on your orders to get a special extra from me in January :-)
