Christmas Pals

I suppose you dont want me to tell you thats its just 6 months till Christmas do you??  mmm didnt think so!

I do a regular Stamp A Stack for my sister and she has at least one Christmas card each time as this way by the time Christmas comes around she’ll have a nice supply of Christmas cards and wont get the ‘Christmas Overload’ before it actually gets here!

Last week we made these two cards …

I love these cards and the simple design – makes for a lovely ‘queasy’ Christmas Card! All you need to create these lovelies is one stamp set, 3 colours in cardstock, 2 inks, one roll of ribbon and markers – too easy!

I love the funky designs in the Punch Pals stamp set and these cards are even easy enough for the kids to do too!

I love this tree!

I’ve just stamped the image in Jet Black Stazon then using my Stampin Write Markers I use the fine point and fill in the outline of the stamp. I then use my handy Aqua Painter to pull the colour to the centre of the image.

So So Easy!

Who doesnt love a cute snowman card at Christmas?

Sample clean & simple layout just change the image!

Again I’ve stamped in Jet Black Stazon and then used my Stampin’ Write markers to colour the outline of the image. I find you really cant beat Tempting Turquoise for snow!

Now when you pull the colour from the images and you find there’s not enough colour just grab your Classic Ink Pad and squish the pad before opening and then use the ink from the inside of the lid to add a little more colour with the Aqua Painter.  Be sure to water the ink down as you dont want it too dark and spoiling the subtlety of the image.

To do this just give your Aqua Painter a squeeze to let some water through and then just mix it with the ink on the lid. Now if its real watery be sure to soak up the excess water with a tissue or paper towel before closing your pad – you dont want to water down the ink pad!

I love these two cards and I havent even done a penguin one yet – bet remedy that I think!! I lurv penguins :)

I hope you like these Christmas cards and if you’d like to do these at a Workshop or Stamp A Stack then please dont hesitate to contact me to book in your date!

Live with Passion

I mentioned last week that I’d had a creat-a-fest with Inspired by Nature.  Inspired by Nature is one of those wonderful unisex sets that you can use for anything.

Here is a great ‘Clean and Simple’ card that takes just minutes to create.

Recipe
Stamps: Inspired by Nature
Paper: Whisper White
Inks: Soft Suede, Old Olive
Accessories: Old Olive grosgrain ribbon

See – even the recipe is clean & simple.

Again this is another of those ‘multi occasion’  cards which can be used for any purpose and so quick and easy to put together!

Thinkin I might make a new category of cards and call is Queasy – for Quick and Easy :)   gives a whole new meaning to the ‘queasy’ term does it not? It’s a bit like how kids these days use the terms “sick” and “wicked” dont ya think??

If you wanted to lift this card a little just use a Soft Suede card base and make the white a layer on top – still a ‘Queasy’ card ;)

Manhatten Thanks

Today’s post will be a short and sweet as today I have the first of three days of Stamp A Stacks!

I love my job and to be able to share my passion for card making and ‘giving’ to others its just a bonus I earn an income from doing this!

One of today’s cards is a remake of one that I did a little while ago which is a case from the Autumn-Winter Mini Catalogue and its one the girls will be making today.

Recipe:
Stamps: Occasional Quotes (new Level 3 Hostess set)
Paper: Certainly Celery, Whisper White, Rich Razzleberry
Ink: Rich Razzleberry
Accessories: Big Shot, Manhatten Flower Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Large Oval Punch, Scalloped Oval Punch, Rich Razzleberry Polka Dot ribbon.

This card is so very easy to do and can be used to suit any occasion by simply changing the sentiment. How easy is that??

The sentiment comes from the new Occasional Quotes stamp set which is a new Level 3 Hostess set in the upcoming 2010-2011 Idea Book & Catalogue. Email me today to ensure you have your copy pre-ordered!

Time to double check I’ve packed all I need in my Workshop Wheelie :)
