Peaceful Pines and Christmas Pines with Mica Flakes Shaker Christmas Card

I have one final Christmas projects to share with you for the year. A super simple Shaker Card!


The card base is our Note Cards and Envelopes in Crumb Cake. I started with the piece of Whisper White card stock that could actually be in any festive colour. I stamped the star and dot stamp from the Christmas Pines stamps in Crumb cake and used the tree framelit from the Perfect Pines Framelits to make the window using the Big Shot. I then stamped the tree on the card base in Real Red Ink from the Peaceful Pines stamps through the Whisper White stamped piece for perfect placement. To create the shaker I attached a piece of Window Sheet to the back of the stamped Whisper White piece making sure to liberally use the Embossing Buddy her the sheet. Next I attached Foam Adhesive Strips to the outside of the tree she making sure the join is snug so no shaker bits come out. I added the Mica Flakes to the stamped tree on the card and attached the Whisper White piece over it pressing down on the foam adhesive to ensure it adheres properly. For a finishing touch I added a the Candy Cane Lane Baker's Twine to the bottom of note card a few ties finished with a bow! Now Its ready to SHAKE!

Merry Medley and Christmas Pines Christmas Card

I have filmed another video to share with you today. This card using the Merry Medley and Christmas Pines and is yet another simple card to make to be ready for Christmas next year.




I have used Veramark ink to stamp the Crumb Cake background and the Noel for embossing on the This Christmas Paper and covered in Copper embossing powder and melting it with the Heat Tool. I adhered the embossed piece to Cherry Cobbler and placed Stampin' Dimentionals on the back and looped the Metallic Thread Combo to adhere the threads and added a few more to attach to the piece to the stamped card front.

Christmas Pines with Pretty Pines Framelits Christmas Card

I made this card with my Team and Stamp Club as a stepped up card using the Christmas Pines Bundle and Glitter Stampin' Emboss powder. I really love how it came together.


To make this card I started by choosing the music paper from the This Christmas Speciality Designer Series Paper and attached  strip to a Very Vanilla card base. Next I stamped the sentiment from the Christmas Pines stamp set in Veramark Ink and coated with Red Glitter Stampin' Emboss Powder and melted with our heat tool. Next I cut some of the leaves and berries from the Pretty Pines Framelits in Emerald Envy, Mint Macron and Real Red card stock and trimmed and arranged them on the card with Glue Dots. For the fishing touches I added the Candy Cane Lane Bakers Twine and a few Mini Jingle Bells

Tin Of Tags, This Christmas Paper with Stitched Shapes Framelits Christmas Card

I made these quick cards at my most recent class using out This Christmas Speciality paper from our 2016-2017 Annual Catalogue. I love how thin this paper is and you get 4 sheets of EACH pattern 


These cards came together like a dream. I cut the paper down to slightly smaller than card front and paired them with card bases to match - Cherry Cobbler and Garden Green. I attached a strip of Burlap Ribbon with 1/8" or 5/8" Silver ribbon with staples to create the base. I used 2 sizes of the Stitched Shapes Circle Framelits for the sentiments in Very Vanilla card stock in the Big Shot and stamped them using the Tin of Tags stamp set in Cherry Cobbler and Garden Green ink and attached them using Stampin Dimensionals to finish the card.

Totally Trees and Christmas Pines Christmas Card

Last weekend I taught this Simple Christmas Card in my Christmas Stamp a Stack. The ladies loved how simple this card would be to reproduce in mass. I have made my first YouTube video on just how easily this card comes together.






Full measurements on this card an be found above in my YouTube Video. The tree from Totally Trees was stamped on a piece of Whisper White cardstock with Cucumber Crush ink, I added the dots in Real Red ink and strain Crushed Curry ink also from the Totally Trees stamp set. I stamped the Christmas Blessings sentiment from the Christmas Pines stamp set and another for the inside of the card in Real Red ink. As a finishing touch I added Clear Wink of Stellar to the Star and Red Ornaments before adhering all the layers together with Fast Fuse (in the video I have some great tips for using it).

Onstage Live In Brisbane 2016 - Display Stamper


Well I just had the BEST EVER few days away with 600 fantastic Stampin' Up! Demonstrators at On Stage Live in Brisbane. I also had a special job before the event to create some special projects with NEW and upcoming products.


We celebrated each others achievements, laughed, shared many hugs (I may be currently in hug withdrawals), created projects and learnt a lot to help us on our Stampin' Up! Journey.

If you want to come along with me next time you can by Joining my Team the Wicked Woody's. We were very lucky to have 6 of us there in Brisbane. (no photo as i didn't take one on my phone of all of us)

Looking down onto check in and swaps


Helen, Tanya and I waiting for Onstage to begin



CentreStage Dinner where I was lucky enough to site next our Co-Founder Shelli Gardiner. She really is the most lovely person you could ever meet. I also received this super cute bag!!!


 

At our Leadership session we learnt lots about some programs that will be benefiting our teams in the coming months. And I just love the Adorable table centres that are on all our tables.



Here are the sample that I made for the Display Stamper sample Boards. I will be back in the next week to highlight the projects in further detail for you.







If you have any questions or comments about my time at Onstage please contact me and I will be happy to help.

Fairy Celebration with Woodland Embossing Birthday Card

I have a special guest designer today on my blog my 6 year old Granddaughter Ivy. This card was for her best friends birthday.


We started by stamping the fairy from the Fairy Celebration stamp set in Basic Black Archival Ink onto Whisper White card stock. Ivy then took my Stampin' Write Markers and she coloured it in the image. Next Ivy chose the Woodland Embossing Folder and ran it through the Big Shot with Wisteria Wonder card stock. Next we chose the Blushing Bride card stock for the card base. We added a Vellum layer under the stamped piece for softness. To finish the card we need SPARKLE so we added clear Wink of Stelar to the fairy wings and skirt and to the vellum.

Forever Evergreen Diagonal Stripe Christmas Card

My card today's colours were inspired by a large project I have been undertaking that I will share with you in the near future.


I started this card by stamping the Diagonal Stripe background stamp in Elegant Eggplant Ink on the matching card stock. Next I took a wide strip of Island Indigo card stock stamped with the stars from Forever Evergreen stamp set and stamped with the matching ink. I stamped the 4 ornaments also from the Forever Evergreen set onto a piece of Whisper White card stock and stamped them in Rose Red, Elegant Eggplant. Emerald Envy and Island Indigo and drew on the strings using a Crushed Curry Stampin' Write Marker. I adhered all the stamped layers onto a Rose Red card base and added a tied piece of Emerald Envy Ruched Ribbon around the card to finish the card.
