Wonderland


Today I used two of the new stamp sets to create this card, together with some white glitter, silver thread and some framelits.  It's a very quick card to make but it sparkles beautifully!


I stamped the snowflakes onto silver card and then embossed them. I used the new punch from the bundle to punch them out and used dimensionals to help them hold the card closed.  The trees were stamped and white glitter was added to them.   I finished it off using the very thin silver thread.  

Did you have a look at the new catalogue?   What did you think?

I'm now off to play some more, until the next time

Another sneaky peak....



I love this card.  I had seen a few created looking through the window to outside so I thought it would be cool to create one looking inside.  This is probably one of my favourite things about Stampin Up!  Everything goes together so well.  I used the Brick embossing folder and the new Perfect Pines Bundle together with the Festive Fireside and Hearth and Home bundles.




I used an acetate sheet to create the "window pane" and used dimensionals to make the window appear raised from the brick wall.  I added glitter to the Christmas tree (you have to have glitter) and I thought the paper looked a bit like wallpaper.

I'm really pleased how this card turned out and I fell I will be making a few to sell at the Embassy Christmas Fayre.

Remember the catalogue goes live on Tuesday and you can order all the products I've used over the past few days by clicking on my shop now button.

Until then

Reason for the Season


I love poinsettias at Christmas and I know my mother in law does too so I created this card for her.  As the poinsettia is so dimensional I thought the card deserved a box.


I love glitter at Christmas but I don't love it getting everywhere so to create the glitter outline on my box I used double sided tape, added the glitter then covered it with a piece of paper and ran my brayer over it a few times.  I find that helps to press the glitter into the glue on the tape and it stays there much better!


This bundle is going to be very popular and you can see why.  The flower is so quick and easy to create and there are so many possibilities with the set.  The co-ordinating punch makes light work of cutting everything out.


I thought I would add a touch of glitter to the petals too (after all, you can never have too much glitter!) 
I hope you like the card and that you're getting excited to order some "stash" when the catalogue goes live on Tuesday next week!

Until then

Christmas....

A sneaky preview of the new Autumn/Winter catalogue that goes live on September 1st.  I know I say this every time but every time the catalogues just keep getting better and better and I love everything inside this one!  You can see it on my blog from 1st September and order through my 24 hour online shop, just click on the shop now button.



There are lots of super bundles available.  Here I have used the Hearth and Home thinlets together with the Sleigh Ride Thinlets and a saying from the Cozy Greetings stamp set.



I created some curtains to frame my window and just added a touch of gold glitter to the trees and lights in the homes.  The paper is from one of the new paper packs.

I hope you like this preview.  I will hopefully be back tomorrow with some more.

Until then
