Where has the time gone? Christmas is now only 4 weeks away and I still haven't told you what we made at Novembers class! And to top it all our December class is a week early due to a busy venue so will now be next week! I had better get my skates on and start writing the post for that class now too (and I hope I won't be needing 'ice-skates' either!!).
I gave my crafters the option of making either a(nother) Christmas card or a New Home card by using the same set of stamps and design with just a slight change in decoration. The stamp sets used were from the Autumn/Winter catalogue,
White Christmas and
Holiday Home. The DSP is taken from the Subtles Backgrounds DSP Stack amd the main colours are Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler, Mossy Meadow, Soft Sky, Crushed Curry and Wild Wasabi. The photo doesn't show it too well but Dazzling Details were used as snow on the trees, ground and roof of the Christmas card.
To take a break from Christmas cards, we made a general greeting card using
Pictogram Punches and coordinating punch. The 'stars' going vertically down the side of the card were punched out of the top layer of Night of Navy card using the Confetti Stars Punch to show the Crushed Curry card underneath. This punch is great for making confetti for shaker cards - watch this space for a future card design!!
Our final Christmas themed gift for 2014 - a table centre piece tealight holder (don't worry, its a battery operated one and definitely not intended for use with a real candle!!). This is such a simple idea that I saw being demonstrated at a recent Demonstrator team training (thank you Victoria McLafferty) and just had to share it with you. We used
Endless Wishes stamp set to decorate the Whisper White cardstock in Night of Navy, Marina Mist and Pool Party, and again using Whisper White heat embossing powder on the vellum cardstock in the centre of the circle.
That's all for now but will be back again soon with more designs and maybe some Stampin Up news I can share with you!!
