Merry and Sparkle

Did you know today was

World Cardmaking Day?

….

Well it was!

……

I spent it the correct way,

I had classes today teaching watercolouring

I keep my ladies busy their card took over 3 hours

to create but they all LOVED their card and

I am pretty sure none of them are giving it away.

…

Here is a snap shot of my lovely ladies in my afternoon class,

not quite all of the ladies…. sorry I chopped a few out

my photography skills with my iPhone are limited.

…..

Sorry not sharing the card we made that 

is top secret, but I am sharing the card I made

after I got home from my class as it was

World Cardmaking Day after all.

….

I am getting in the Christmas spirit

and  starting my Christmas cardmaking.

Here I have used my new Expression Thinlets

to create the “Merry”, which I cut from Red glitter paper.

I used the “A Banner Christmas” Stamp Set

for the Christmas stamped in Old Olive.

I also used the stamp set for the Crumb Cake flag under the button,

stamped in VersaMark on Crumb Cake Cardstock.

…..

Here are all the images in this Stamp set:

I also used this stamp set for the inside.

I stamped the “joy” image first in Crumb Cake on the cardstock

then inked it up again in Old Olive & Cherry Cobbler,

then stamped it on scrap cardstock, cut the flags out and

attached over the Crumb Cake images then stitched the top of the banner.

The printed paper is from the Season of Style Designer Series Paper Pads,

……

The pad is $11.95 in Australia

with 24  sheets of 2 double-sided designs.

Two last products to highlight:

….

The Expressions Thinlits Dies, $42.95 {132171}

Set of three, with

“Merry”

“Love”

“Thankful”

I will use the Merry and Love to death but “thankful”

is something I would not normally use

however I am thinking, I could not cut the “ful”

 just the thank and then stamp “you” or even “U”.

The last thing is

Stylish Stripes Embossing Folder

$13.95 {132174}…..
