THE STARS ARE BRIGHTLY SHINING

Hello! Thank you for popping by – I always appreciate those of you who take the time to visit.

Today I have another Christmas card to share.

This time I want to feature the Stars are Shining Bundle.

STARS ARE SHINING BUNDLE (ENGLISH)

I have decided to use Basic Black, Basic White, Cherry Cobbler and Silver for this card.

I used the Starlit Punch to create a mask for stamping the stars image. The Stamparatus was ideal for this project. I placed a piece of Silver Foil on the Stampartus and then placed the mask so that I could position the stamp. The plate picked up the stamp and I removed the mask. Because I was using Jet Black StazOn ink, I used lengths of Post-It tape, as well as the magnets, to make sure that the foil did not move each time I lifted the stamping plate.

I wrapped and secured two lengths of Metallic Mesh Ribbon to a piece of Basic Black card stock.

The mask was then attached to the stamped silver layer using Black Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The silver mesh layer was attached to the card front, using Black Stampin’ Dimensionals, before the stars layer was then adhered in place. The Christmas greeting was stamped, cut and attached to the card front. I stamped and punch some extra stars to add to the card.

Two large punched stars were used for the card insert and envelope. And, finally, a few Silver Metallic Pearls gave the last little bit of bling to finish the card.

I always enjoy it when I have lots of new products from new catalogues. It means that I can experiment and create new projects. It means that I can combine new with ‘old’ products. It means lots of projects to share, with you, here.

What do you like most about new catalogues?

Until next time, happy stamping.

WINTER WONDERLAND

Hello! Thank you for popping by to see my latest project. I appreciate everyone of you for finding time in your day to visit.

There is on edesign in the Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper that I could not resist making a Christmas card for. I know, that most of you know, that I live in Australia and it is incredibly rare to have snow anywhere here in December. This is the main reason that I don’t often use snow-themed products in my craftroom.

I love the ombre shades of the Misty Moonlight fur trees in the paper. I used the coordinating tree stamp to stamp some Whisper White Craft Stampin’ Pad over the trees. After this white ink dried, I added Clear Wink of Stella to the tree tops to add some bling.

The Christmas greeting is from the Perfectly Plaid Stamp set and, of course, was stamped in Misty Moonlight. A piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock was embossed with the new Bark 3D Embossing Folder. Both of these elements were then given a banner end, using the Banner Triple Punch. Each banner was positioned on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The dark Misty Moonlight Blends pen was used to colour the Frosted Epoxy Droplets that add some bling to the card. The final touch involved adding thin strips of the DSP to the envelope and card insert.

I think that I will keep this snowy Christmas card to one of my lovely Stampin’ Up!® friends in North America.

Happy stamping, stampers.

CUSTOM ORDER

Last night I had a stall at the Dockside Twilight Markets – my very poor reason for not posting yesterday.

I did, however, post an image on my Instagram account of the stall and my new black and white banner. A huge thank you to my friend Katerina who cut and applied the letters to each of the flags. Then I laminated and trimmed them. It was just as well that I did because there was the chance of some rain.

While there were lots of people milling around, things were quiet. I have met lots of other lovely vendors and it’s great to be able to have a chat between people popping by.

One lady did look for some Christmas packaging for some gifts. There were a couple of options but she wanted three gift boxes that were similar. There was one I had made using the RECTANGLE TINS from the AUGUST – DECEMBER MINI CATALOGUE. She also liked some of the papers from the MOST WONDERFUL TIME DSP.

So this was an opportunity to offer to make some for her Friday morning. She was very happy with that.

Here they are:

The gift cards are just 2″ square. I’m sure that the light pink coloured lip balms will look fabulous in these tins.

I hope that Jo likes them and her gift recipients as well.

This experience reminds me of the value of talking and listening. If I hadn’t, then I wouldn’t have been able to make these boxes.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.
