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

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
