Scallop window at Christmas

Here is another card which uses the Joyous Celebrations stamp set that I shared with you yesterday...

I have punched out the image after stamping it onto Whisper White card, using the Scallop Circle punch and then punched the front of the Real Red card base and then stuck the image inside the card so that is peeks through the window.

A simple strip of DSP (from the Festival of Prints paper pack) punched with the Scallop Trim Border punch to finish.  This would be a good card to personalise with the name of the recipient.

Christmas wishes

Another quick Christmas card today, which uses the Joyous Celebrations stamp set in the Autumn/Winter catalogue.

I've stamped the 'mistletoe' and the sentiment onto Whisper White card and then punched this out with the 1 3/8 inch Circle punch before mounting onto a Real Red Scallop Circle punched shape.

The card base is Old Olive and I have stamped the 'tree' image from the stamp set with Old Olive to create the background and then adhered a strip of DSP from the Brights paper pack and finished with a strip of Real Red card.

The image/sentiment has then been mounted with dimensionals to raise it up.

Christmas card club starts next month

Just to let you know that my Christmas card club starts next month and I still have a few places left.

 

The club will run on a Thursday night from the 18th October for 3 weeks, commencing at 7pm.  You will be able to make 12 cards during each session (4 each of 3 designs).  Check out my classes page for more details. 

 

So by the first week of November you could have 36 handmade cards, and also there will be more pre-cut cards available to purchase if you need them. 

I also have a Christmas accessories class planned for Saturday 27th October at 10.30am, and if you book all 3 sessions of the Christmas card club you will get the accessories class for FREE.  Booking deadline is 7th October and subject to availability, so contact me to day to book you place.

Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to design the cards yet so do not have a sneak peak to share with you... but instead here is a Christmassy themed card using the Joyous Celebrations stamp set from the Autumn/Winter mini catalogue.

 



The base is Old Olive and I've adhered a piece of one of the papers form the Festival of Prints DSP pack to the front and then added a strip of Whisper White, stamped with one of the sentiments from the Joyous Celebrations stamp set before adding a Real Red Decorative Label punch with dimensionals.

Finally I have stamped the 'reindeer' image from the set with Chocolate Chip ink onto Whisper White and then using my Stamp-a-ma-jig, lined up the frame and stamped this in Real Red ink before cutting out.

Very quick and simple... and perfect building up your stack of Christmas cards.

If you would like to book to attend one of my Christmas Card Club sessions, please email me at jadedcrafter@gmail.com , bearing in mind places are limited.

 

 

Cambridge crafting with Joyous Celebrations

With 3 days in Cambridge this week, I made sure I had planned ahead and organised a crafting session with my friend Donna. 

 

We had great fun coming up with ideas using the Joyous Celebrations stamp set from the Autumn/Winter mini catalogue, so I thought I would share one of them with you today... but I can't take credit for the creation as this is all Donna's handy work, with a little help from one she saw on the web.

 

Using the lovely Snow Festival DSP created a great background and Donna has then matted a variety of Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler card with these papers.

 

The stamp set has so much to choose from  with a variety of images and sentiments, adequate to make all your Christmas cards with basically :).
