Peaceful Blue
I still have a few more simple Christmas cards to show before Christmas and a few ideas on packaging your gifts, I am about to go Christmas light looking with my Sister and Nieces so it better be short. I just want to say thanks for all the messages about my last post and my “lack” of cooking skills, they have all made me laugh and my sister did read me blog this morning and almost died when she realised I was so worried about cooking and Bailey’s comment, kids just say the cutest things.
This card IS SO EASY as you can tell and I really like it. I have stepped away from my layer on layer on LAYER and ribbon to create this card in bulk. I have stamped the images in Boarding Blue on Whisper White cardstock and added a little glitter to the main tree, it does look really sparkly in real life. I made about 40 of them in an hour and a bit so if you still have a few cards to make here is a quick card idea.
Stamps: A Wish for Peace
Ink: Boarding Blue
Paper: Boarding Blue and Whisper White
Other: Two Way Glue and DD Glitter

OMG Christmas is now under a week away and I still have loads of cards and projects to show you before Christmas comes and goes….. Like most people I am very busy getting ready for Christmas although I finished my shopping weeks ago and made my cards months ago I still feel like I have a million things to do! for the first year I am the family “Chef” this Christmas, this is a role my sister has held for many years and always cooks the most amazing meals for our Christmas celebrations so I have such huge shoes to fill as my niece Bailey who is only 4 told me last week “My Mummy is the best at everything not you Aunty you just do good craft not cooking….Nooooooo {shaking her head} not good cooking” Can you can see what I am up against? Up until Bailey told me that I did not think I was that bad at cooking but wish me luck!
Seeing I am good at craft I better talk about these cards, I have two simple and elegant cards that are very quick to make to share with you today. For both I have stamped the star in Night of Navy ink over the front of the card and sponged the edge, I stamped the star on Navy cardstock in VersaMark and embossing in Silver then punched the image out with the Star Punch. I have embossed the greeting in Silver as well.

Birthday Beauty
This card is for my Mum’s Birthday which was today {Happy Birthday Mum!!!} I must admit I have always felt such pressure when I make cards for Mum more then anyone else because she is my biggest supporter and I never want to disappoint her with a “crappy” card but I almost did worse then a “crappy card” for this birthday…. I had not made her a card at all and I could she her disappointment when I said “I have not made you a card but I will buy one at the shops today if that’s ok”… That did not go down very well with her so I whipped this up this afternoon.
Materials:
Stamps: Bloomin’ with Beauty and On Your Birthday
Ink: Black, Old Olive and Lovely Lilac
Paper: Whisper White, Haiku, Elegant Eggplant, Old Olive and Lovely Lilac
Other: Circle’s Brad, Pearl from Pretties, Old Olive Ribbon.
Christmas Treats
I am almost out of Christmas cards and projects to share with you but I really like this card, I have a few people that LOVE chocolate and will really appreciate a card with candy. I have used the Sweet Treat Cups from the Summer Mini with the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch to create this Christmas bauble filled with red M&M’s. The top of the bauble is made by punching a little of the 1 3/4″ circle and one of the petals from the 5 Petal Punch using Riding Hood Red Cardstock, sponged then attached above the 1 3/4″ Circle punch out.
Like this card? Well I still have a few spots for my Friday night class making this card and a second “Sweet Treats” flower card.
