NO SNOW HERE!

While it is still Spring in Australia, it is feeling more and more like Summer every day.

So it was refreshing to make a card for the holiday season using some of the FEELS LIKE FROST DSP. At least I can look at the paper and think cool thoughts.

We did enjoy some snow and cold weather last year when we were in Moscow, St Petersburg and Helsinki. I wish I had gum boots (or wellingtons) to traipse around in the snow and sludge.

The boots and umbrella, from the UNDER MY UMBRELLA STAMP SET, were fussy cut. Who wouldn’t love a shiny pair of polka dot silver boots and matching umbrella.

The photographic image, on this DSP, beautifully captures this wintery scene. I particularly like the bokeh light effects.

I used the DSP offcuts to trim the envelope and card insert.

A little SILVER METALLIC EDGE RIBBON wrapped around the DSP and a stamped and die cut greeting popped up over the ribbon finishes this quick and easy card.

Who would you send it to?

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

CURVY CHRISTMAS CARD

For this card I wanted to layer lots of curved die cut pieces of the CLASSIC CHRISTMAS 6″X 6″ DSP. The colour combination of CHERRY COBBLER, SAHARA SAND and SHADED SPRUCE are perfect for Christmas.

Lots of lovely stars, rather than snowflakes, reflect many of the Christmas trees that will soon be decorated in time for the holiday season.

I have just ordered a new tree for our apartment. We only used a little table top one for our first Christmas in Brisbane. It is a ‘flat pack’ tree made from birch. When it is assembled and decorated, I share a photo.

How are you going with your Christmas card making?

QUICK & EASY CHRISTMAS CARD

I’m still making Christmas cards and this one soooo easy.

I only stamped three times and cut some of the POINSETTIA PLACE DSP.

The thing that took the longest was fussy cutting the poinsettias.

I used the HIPPO & FRIENDS DIES to die cut the Christmas greeting.

The WONDERFUL GEMS have little flecks of gold inside them, giving the card some bling.

I also used the CLEAR WINK OF STELLA to colour the flowers to have them shimmer.

Thanks for hopping by … happy stamping.
