Sincerely Santa Project Kit & Santa's Workshop M&M

Good Day Crafty Friends,

Hope its been a great one. How is your Christmas Card making going? I think I can comfortably say I am 3/4 of the way through my list, so not many to go now. Wahooooo!  I have also made loads of Christmas Gift Tags this year as Stampin' Up! have some pretty amazing products that made it easy to produce a whole heap all at once. The Tags & Tidings stamp set (Page 24 Holiday Catalogue) is one of those products that made for super fast and uber cute gift tags.

The other really cool products I have mixed and matched for both Christmas Gift Tags and Cards are the Santa's Workshop Memories and More Card Pack and the Sincerely Santa Project Kit (Pages 21 & 32 - Holiday Catalogue).

Today's card uses the Red/White candy striped Gift Tag from the Sincerely Santa Project Kits and embellishments from the Santa's Workshop Memories & More Card Pack - jingle sentiment, holly and Elf image are all stickers in the Card Pack. The Gold Foil banner and Gold Foil stars are part of the Sincerely Santa Project Kit.

I had some Real Red DSP from a retired Valentines themed DSP Pack that I wanted to use up so cut a diagonal panel and used it for the card background. I also used a retired Gold Foil doily as I thought it could do with some more shiny stuff.....you can never have enough bling or shiny stuff right? lol 

Its a bright, fun Festive card that is great for my family and friends who have children. Kiddies love Christmas card with the cutsey images - well my daughter did when she was young.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Be sure to check back here again real soon as I have some super exciting news to share plus more inspirational ideas for Christmas Cards and other Christmas themed goodies.

Until next time, stay awesome and stay crafty

Sincerely Santa Kit meets Santa's Workshop M&M Cards

Hello Hello Crafty Friends,

Hope you are having a fabulous day. Its been an absolutely stunning day here and I can feel that the start of summer is just around the corner. It is actually a great time to be out and about in the Perth region, the days have warmed, but not too hot for leisurely walks with the fur babies and the spring flowers are still in bloom, which is a bonus. There has been a little bit of rain recently too, so there is lots of water in the parks ponds which the local wildlife are loving.

Today's card is a mixture of Santa's Workshop Memories & More Card Pack, DSP and some items from the Sincerely Project Santa Kit. This is the cutest Gift Tag Kit that comes in the sweetest Green and White Candy striped tin. The Sincerely Santa Project Kit makes 30 Gift Tags and for $38 AUD its great value and easy to complete. It also has a coordinating stamp set (see page 32 of the Holiday Catalogue)

I started with a Whisper White card base to which I added a panel of Coastal Cabana DSP. This dotty DSP is part of the Brights 6x6 DSP Pack. A layer of Real Red card stock was added and next another layer of Whisper White with a faint Coastal Cabana Watercolour wash. A strip of the Coastal Cabana DSP has been adhered with Tombow before adding the Red/White Candy Striped Tag from the Sincerely Santa Project Kit.

Also from the Sincerely Santa Project Kit - the Gold detailed edge Circle die cut, gold foil banner and Doily (which I have coloured Pink with a Stampin' Blend). The Elf image has been fussy cut from a Santa's Workshop Memories & More card. The Santa Seal and Holly are both stickers from the same M&M Card Pack.

The White Bakers Twine comes in the Sincerely Santa Project Kit. I tell you, that Kit is full of goodies - I especially adore the little silver bells and wish there were enough for all the Gift Tags in the Project Kit. 

That's all for today folks. Thanks so much for stopping by today. I do appreciate each and every visitor and all the shout outs when you case a card. I love what I do and love sharing it with you all.

Until next time, stay awesome and stay crafty

Christmas Memories & More Cards using Santa's Workshop Cards

Hello Crafty Friends,

How has your day been? Hopefully its been a great one for you. I had another productive day today, located all the Christmas Decorations and got some of them ready to be hung in a few weeks. The Christmas Tree is looking a bit sad so I am hoping I can convince Hubby it needs a little side kick in the form of a smaller similar looking tree (or two! I like symmetry so one either side of the larger Christmas Tree would be the bees knees, but somehow I think I may be pushing it with three trees lol)

I have more cards to share with you today that were created last week during one of my midnight card making sessions lol. They were all quick and easy to make as they use cards from the Santa's Workshop Memories and More Card Pack. You can see the previous posts here.

Card 5

This is a fun and bright card using a fussy cut image as the main focal point. The panels on the card base have been diagonally cut from two of the smaller M&M cards and lined with Silver Foil card before adhering to the Whisper White Card Base.

A Silver Foil doily has been tucked behind the fussy cut Santa. To finish the card, the sticker sentiment was added using mini dimensionals.

Card 6

Again another quick and easy card that uses the one of the larger Santa's Workshop Memories & More cards, cut on a diagonal. Before adhering the diagonal panel to the Whisper White card front, it was lined with a thin strip of Red Glimmer Paper. 

The Large Letter Framelits were used to die cut the letters J and Y from the same Glimmer Paper. To form the letter O of the word JOY I used a white doily and added one of the Elf Stickers from the M&M card pack. To finish the card I added the little date label to help balance out the slope in the lettering.

I have a few more cards in this batch to share with you, so be sure to check back here again soon for more inspiration using these fun and festive Memories and More cards.

Thanks for stopping by today. Until next time, stay awesome and stay crafty

Christmas Memories & More Card Pack - Santa's Workshop

Hello Hello Crafty Friends,

I hope you are having a fabulous day and perhaps have even managed to squeeze in a bit of crafting time :)  I was lucky enough to spend a few hours in my craft studio today after catching up on what seemed like a never ending pile of washing. 

I have a few more cards to share with you today that I made during a recent session using the Santa's Workshop Memories & More Card Pack. If you would like to see the first few cards from the batch you can do by clicking here. 

Card 3

The card also uses the cute Mrs Claus image from the Signs of Santa stamp set.  I have started this card with a DSP panel adhered to a Whisper White card base. The DSP is a polka dotted blushing bride sheet from the Tropical Chic 6"x 6"DSP Pack. 

One of the smaller sized cards from the Card Pack was used in the centre of the White card front. To this a panel of striped green card (chopped from the end of one of the larger M&M cards) was lined with Blushing Bride card before adhering to the card front. 

Mrs Claus has been stamped and coloured using Stampin' Blends, then adhered to a Blushing Bride detailed frame created using the Stitched Labels Framelits. To finish the card, a silver foil snowflake  and holly sticker have been added with Tombow and the sentiment sticker with mini dimensionals.

Card 4

Using two different Memories & More cards this creation also has Soft Sea Foam and Blushing Bride card stock. The panels have been lined with Blushing Bride before adhering to the Soft Sea Foam card front. From the Holly M&M card a circle die cut has been layered over the tree panel with Tombow. 

A piece of Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon has been layered in folds under the sentiment using Double sided adhesive. The smaller sentiments have been stamped in Real Red and Die cut using the Stitched Labels Framelits.  The larger sentiment has been fussy cut from one of the large Santa's Workshop Memories & More Cards. To finish the card I added a Bakers Twine bow and a Candy Cane Sticker.

Need more inspiration using the Santa's Workshop Memories & More card pack? Be sure to check back again soon as I have a few more creations to share all using this fun, festive card pack.

Not only are these cards easy and fast to reproduce, the price of the Santa's Workshop Memories & More card pack make it such an affordable way to make loads of Christmas cards.

Until next time, stay awesome and stay crafty

Christmas Memories & More Cards with Santa's Workshop

Good Day Crafty Friends

I hope you are having a great day. I am stoked to be back in my craft room and blogging after a mini vacation and hosting house guests.

Can you believe its less than 8 weeks until Christmas!!! Ahhhghhhh. I thought I better start boosting my Christmas Card stash so I am not making Festive cards the week before they need to be posted. 

The quickest and simplest way to create a batch of cards for me was to use some of the Santa's Workshop Memories & More cards.

This is the third batch of cards I have managed to create using this M&M card pack. They have loads of cute festive images to choose from and many of the smaller cards make great layers for card fronts.

Card 1

Starting with a Coastal Cabana card base, two diagonal panels from the Santa's Workshop M&M cards has been layered over a piece of Whisper White card.  A Gift Tag has been created using the Scalloped Tag Punch and adhered with Tombow along with a die cut shape created from another M&M card and a thinlit from Floral Frames. 

The sentiment has been fussy cut from one of the larger cards in the pack and adhered with mini dimensionals. To finish the card some bakers twine was added to the Tag and Christmas Tree sticker from the Santa's Workshop Memories & More Card Pack.

Card 2

This is basically just one of the large Memories & More cards cut down slightly and adhered to a Garden Green card base. The Merry Christmas sentiment and Santa Hat are both stickers but have been adhered with mini dimensionals.

Be sure to check back again soon for the other creations made in this batch of Christmas cards using the Santa's Workshop Memories & More Card Pack.

Have you started your Christmas Card stash yet.....or better yet, are you very organised and have already completed all your Festive creations?
