Inspire. Create. Challenge #005. A Sketch!

Hello there!
Today see's a new challenge on Inspire. Create and it's a great looking sketch again this week and we'd love it if you could join in!! But first of all, let's see this sketch....

 I decided to go all out bling using two of the papers from the Year of Cheer DSP, teamed with the extra sparkle of glitter! *Bling* ;-)

 This handsome fellow is from the Santa's Sleigh stamp set and I coloured him very simply using my new Stampin' Blends. I also added some texture paste to the bottom of the stitched circle and dipped it in Dazzling Diamonds glitter for some snowy ground for him to stand on :-)

 Tinsel trim and both gold and silver enamel shapes finish this card off!

Well, I did say I went all out on bling!  I love the mix of metallics and hope you do too. Don't forget you can join in with this challenge too! For tons more inspiration please visit the Inspire. Create. Challenge blog and see what the rest of the DT have been up to!

A Merry Christmas Card using Santa's Sleigh by Stampin' Up!

Hello there,
I am currently in Birmingham for Stampin' Up's "On Stage" event but I have a whole heap of festive cards to share and so here I am! I will be, of course, be uploading as much as I can (sorry, there will be some secrets!) on Instagram throughout the day, so if you want the inside info follow me there ;-)
Right, this card was one I designed for a Stamp-a-Stack recently using the 'Santa's Sleigh' bundle which is in the annual catalogue. Although, this isn't actually the card I made, I think mine got picked up by accident and this was made by one of the ladies that came to class! Funny how you can recognise your own cards, isn't it? Must be like handwriting...
Anyway, I was very late getting this bundle last Christmas and I haven't used it anywhere near enough (who, me?), so I designed this card for the class...

We tore whisper white card to make a snowy hill and added dazzling diamonds glitter along the edges for that essential, Christmas bling!

With the tree and wreath on white and watercoloured with Old Olive ink.
TIP: Use thick white for watercolouring and die cutting as it's more robust, and regular white for stamping as it's smoother.

I liked the little ribbon detail and have used it a couple of times since. It's a great way to add ribbon, without it being a bow ;-)

Right, that's all from me on here today.
We have a long, but fun filled day ahead of us, I hope you have a lovely, crafty weekend too :-)

A Santa's Sleigh Reindeer Christmas Card.

Hello!
I have a quick and cute card for you today using Santa's Sleigh thinlits teamed with some more of that lovely Warmth and Cheer DSP, take a look...

 I added some gold bakers twine around his neck and a red rhinestone nose (coloured with a sharpie) and on top of a stitched oval die cut (OOS at the moment but pop your email in to receive a notification when they are back in stock)

 You may remember seeing the original version of this card on Instagram when I had a Fine Tip Glue #fail...
And that lovely sentiment is from the Stitched with Cheer stamp set :-)

But, I liked it so much I re-made the base! I hope you like it too? :-)

Making Two Vellum Window Cards using the Santa's Sleigh Reindeer by SU!

Hello and happy Saturday to you!
I have another duo of cards for you today this time using the very lovely Santa's Sleigh dies. Of course these dies are 10% cheaper when purchased as a bundle with the matching stamps but I've just used the dies on this card. I've used a sentiment from the Tin of Tags stamps which are still in the 25% off sale too, but only 'till the end of the month. OK, lets see these cards shall we....

 I used a red sharpie to colour a silver enamel shape (from the metallics pack which are in the online extravaganza from Monday, more info at the end of this post!)

 This design worked best when teaming a neutral pattern with a bold colour like this red plaid and crumb cake tree DSP.

 For this second design I swapped the position of the patterns around but stuck with the same neutral and bold combo.

 The tin of tags sentiments are definitely not just for tags! I have used them loads this Christmas.

  And I used the die cut deer from the front to decorate inside. No waste and a pretty inside :-)

 And both cards together

There's 25% off selected stamps, including the Tin of Tags set shown above, 'till the 30th November to celebrate the release of the fabulous new stitched edge dies.

And before I go today I want to share the Online Extravaganza news with you! Up to 40% off selected products from the 21st-28th November with extra special deals for 24 hours only on the 21st and the 28th! Message me for the inside scoop!
**I will be ordering on both the special Mondays (21st and 28th) so feel free to message me to add your wishes to the order and save on post or visit my SHOP to order directly**
