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!

18th Birthday Card for a Girl using Large Letter Framelits and Mixed Drinks (of course!)

Hello there,
I'm taking a little break on here from the Christmas cards- just for today - with a card I made for my dear friends daughter who turned 18 a few weeks ago. I used my large letter framelits to die cut "Kiera" from copper foil sheets and teamed it with the Mixed Drinks stamps to make this card....
 Of course I added a touch of Wink of Stella to the cocktail ;-)
 And I used the matching Number of Years framelits inside
('cause you've gotta have "18" somewhere, right?)
Love how the copper foil works so well with Flirty Flamingo.
Thanks so much for looking today, back soon with more!

Using Christmas Stocking Thinlits by Stampin' Up! for Two Cards!

Happy Sunday to you!
I'm here with another two cards today using the Christmas Stocking thinlits. Of course this set of dies comes with a matching stamp set (which is in the 25% off offer this month) but for these two cards I have just used the dies :-) I am actually having a class focusing on this bundle this week so I'll be sharing even more makes with both the stamps and dies with you next week ;-)
OK, so these two card were more from my All Day Class a couple of weeks ago (you can see the other cards from this class HERE) and this bundle of stamps and dies was the very top of my must have list as soon as I saw it! I love it! We made a fireplace style card with the Hearth and Home thinlits dies and a simpler version with the Cable Knit embossing folder....
 Let's start with the Cable Knit version, as you know the ladies all received a selection of goodies in their kit including this lovely Warmth and Cheer DSP pad...
 It's no secret that I love this embossing folder too and all we did was gently brush it with a sponge dipped in crumb cake ink to make the texture pop.
 Now, this DSP was something of a marmite experience at class, I personally love it but a few of my attendees were not keen for Christmas, no problem though, they just swapped it out for a different design. I loved seeing them choose different products to make a card their own!
 Add a little brick wall behind the fire and a copper coloured noel above, and we are done!
 and to finish today, both cards together again :-)
Well, I hope you enjoyed today's cards and are having a relaxing Sunday?! (we are working at home today, boo! But that means more time for crafting through the week, yay!)

Two Cards using Star Of Light by Stampin' Up!

Hello there,
I have another duo of cards for you today, this time using the Star Of Light bundle. This was another card we made at my All Day Class and you can see the other makes HERE.
I designed the same card in both white and crumb cake and they give two quite different looks...
 So let's take a closer look at the white version.
TIP: Use the pierce mat when stamping with this set for crisp images.
 I added a metallic shape to the centre of the star layers.
TIP: Colour enamel shapes with any sharpie (this was coloured in copper)
 And here is the crumb cake version, love these copper foil sheets.
 I also added a little copper thread behind the star.
TIP: To adhere this fine thread easily add a dimensional or glue dot to the back of the star. Adhere the end of the thread then fold over to create loops then adhere to your project.
Well, I do hope you have enjoyed todays makes?
Thanks for looking today and I'll be back tomorrow with more.
