Sincerely Santa Project Kit & Signs of Santa

Good Day Crafty Friends,

I have a quick post to share today. Its a Christmas Card with a little difference. The Wood Texture DSP completely changed the look I was initially going for but I liked so I ran with it.

The Red/White Candy Striped Gift Tag comes in the Sincerely Santa Project Kit, as does the Gold Foil banner, Gold Foil Stars, and Doily which has been coloured with a Stampin' Blend. 

The Wood Background has been adhered to a layer of Whisper White and then Real Red card stock before attaching to the Whisper White Card Base.

The sentiment from Blended Seasons has been white heat embossed onto Black card stock and fussy cut before adhering to the white circle die cut.

Mrs Claus is from the Signs of Santa stamp set (page 19 - Holiday Catalogue). She has been coloured using Stampin' Blends and fussy cut before adhering to the card front with mini dimensionals.

I absolutely adore the Mrs Claus and Santa images from this stamp set. I love that I could colour her dress in Pink as I definitely wanted a few Christmas Cards in my stash that had some pink. This makes me happy lol

As I write this post and look at the date it is scheduled for, I am instantly reminded what day it is tomorrow.......Its Onstage time!!!!!!! All over the world, thousands of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators are gathering to celebrate Stampin' Up! and their 30th year birthday anniversary. I am so envious, especially of those that are flying all the way for the big three day celebration in Orlando, Florida!!! OMG, imagine that, a 3 day convention jam packed with loads of loveliness and all those theme parks, not too mention, yummy food, all the other destinations that have been on my bucket list since I was a child. 

If you follow any of the Demonstrators attending one of the many conventions around the world, be sure to check out their posts over the next few days, they will be sharing loads and loads of pics of their awesome events, including all the new products!!!! I cannot wait to see what is coming and to get my hands on that new catalogue. The suspense is killing me LOL

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

Santa's Workshop Pocket Card - AddINKtive Designs

Hello Crafty Friends,

Hope you are having a great day. I have a super cute Pocket Card to share with you today, which has been created with the Santa's Workshop Memories and More card pack. 

I absolutely love making Pocket Cards, they are interactive, have two surfaces to decorate and are perfect for posting. You can find the tutorial for this style of Pocket Card over at AddINKtive Designs here. Just change out the DSP aspect and replace with this adorable M&M card.

The Pocket Card base was created from Basic Black cardstock using the tutorial mentioned above. To the Pocket Base, the large Santa card was trimmed down slightly and adhered with Tombow. Using one of the smaller Memories and More cards, die cut the large detailed framelit from the Stitched Labels Framelits.

The insert has been decorated with a strip of Pool Party card stock under a thin panel of Washi Tape. The sentiment from the First Frost stamp set has been inked in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and a little Elf adhered with mini dimensionals.

I also decorated one of the gable boxes with some elements from the Santa's Workshop Memories & More card pack. The gable boxes are simply stunning and with a little shredded paper and a snack bottle of Doterra Oil, they make the perfect quick and easy gifts for family and friends.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you get to spend some time in your crafty space this week(end). We have rain predicted here so you can guess where I will be.

Until next time, stay awesome and stay crafty

Signs of Santa - Masking

Good Day Crafty Friends,

I hope you are having a great day. My Christmas card collection is growing fast, thanks to the Signs of Santa stamp set, I am pumping them out.

Today's card uses lots of masking to achieve Santa's and Mrs Claus huge posse of helpers. I started by stamping the elf in one corner and working my way along the bottom of the card front and then behind.

The images have been stamped and coloured using Stampin' Blends in: Cherry Cobbler, Flirty Flamingo, Bermuda Bay, Highland Heather and Granny Apple Green.

Before adhering the card front to the base, I trimmed it down slightly and stamped the sentiments. Two strips of Brights DSP in lovely lipstick were adhered to the card base with Tombow. A thin strip of Black card has been adhered to the card front before adhering to the base.

The Signs of Santa stamp set (below) is part of a large suite which includes: dies, DSP, Memories and More cards, enamel shapes, twine, rhinestones ribbon and the cutest little Santa Sacks. Be sure to make your christmas crafting easy with coordinated products like this cute suite or one of the others in the new HOLIDAY catalogue.

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