Hey Everyone

I love great sketches and this is one of those!  Amy O’Neill is not only a talented card maker, she’s a superb sketch designer.  Here’s our latest sketch at Freshly Made Sketches:

One of my all time favourite Stampin’ Up! Christmas stamp sets is Evergreen.  It’s a retired set, but I love the shape of these trees, so I can’t see myself ever getting rid of it.  My little reindeer is from Cookie Cutter Christmas – a set I only recently purchased, so I thought I better give it a whirl.

Hey Everyone

We have a new sketch for you over at Freshly Made Sketches.  I’m the sketch hostess this week – here’s my sketch:

I’ve kept it pretty simple – just three shapes.  Tip Top Taupe is my go-to colour now. I’ve combined it with Hello Honey and Whisper White. Another non-traditional colour combo that I like for Christmas.

Our team has created wonderful inspiration for you. Head over to Freshly Made Sketches and take a look at their gorgeous card.

This card came together in no time! I love it when that happens! I am well on my way to being organised for Christmas (for once!). Chrissy cards almost completed. Now I”m about to start my present shopping.   I’ve used some retired Stampin’ Up! stamp sets – Endless Wishes and Evergreen.  Here’s my card:

Hey Everyone

I love this weeks theme challenge at Just Add Ink – our challenge for you is to:

Just Add Glimmer

I dug into a basket sitting on my desk that has loads of offcuts of DSP, cardstock and unused images I’ve stamps.  I also had this pre-cut glimmer circle sitting in there waiting for quite possibly this challenge.  My photograph doesn’t really show the black glimmer stars I’ve created for the tops of my trees.  I’ve used an off-cut of the same Champagne Glimmer Paper and ran my black ink pad over them to make them black.  This is because I haven’t yet put in a SU! order for some Black Glimmer Paper – I know, I’m probably the last in Australia to stock up on it!.   Here’s my card:

Hey Everyone

This weeks Just Add Ink inspiration pic is all about Christmas.  If you’re like me and leave everything until the last minute, this challenge will hopefully inspire you to get going early on your Christmas projects.

JAI270pic

I received my Stampin’ Up! Gift Bag Punch Board a few weeks ago and thought it was time to give it a go.

JAI270

While I had the papers and stamp sets out, I decided to make up some simple gift cards to go with my gift bag. They measure 7cm x 7cm when made up.  They are busy, but not as busy as my gift bag as people don’t tend to keep gift cards and I didn’t want to waste the ribbon or bling!

Hey Everyone

I’ve been a bit quite around here because I’ve been a tad busy lately.   Let me tell you – I’m missing my stamping time!

The challenges I’m entering my card into are Monday Monday’s sketch challenge and a challenge that I haven’t entered since I left their design team in August last year – Merry Monday.  I really miss the girls on the design team and also miss my regular Chrissy cards.  I’ve lost the hang of how to make a Christmas card so it took me a sec to get started today!

Mojo338sketch

MMC101picI really love these challenge colours together and have decided that my card kinda reminds me of wrapped present with my big gray bow. This ribbon is one I haven’t really used much of, so today was my opportunity to give it a go.  The trees are from a Stampin’ Up! set called Evergreen and the sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.

Hey Everyone

I’m loving the colour Smoky Slate at the moment.  The design team at Pals Paper Arts have a challenge with Smoky Slate and Elegant Eggplant in it, so I knew I had to play along.

PPA2182pic

I’m entering my card into Mojo Monday’s sketch challenge as I have used their layout for my card.  Don’t you just love this sketch?

Mojo322Sketch

The stamp sets I’ve used are Stampin’ Up! ones Evergreen and the cute little reindeer and sentiment are from a Hostess Stamp set called Warmth & Wonder.  I’ve almost run out of all my Elegant Eggplant DSP in my stack so I found some offcuts from a long ago retired pack called Lap of Luxury.  You’ll probably notice that I’ve used Whisper White instead of Very Vanilla? Well that’s because I didn’t study the challenge colours before I whipped up my card – sorry ’bout that!  My bow doesn’t quite look like Elegant Eggplant, but it is.  I don’t have an Elegant Eggplant re-inker so I had to run the seam binding over the ink pad with my fingers and by the time it dried, it came out with slightly pinkier tones.

Hey Everyone

This week Linda Callahan is our sketch hostess at Freshly Made Sketches.  Linda is not only very talented, she is so lovely and oh so very funny.  You should head over to Linda’s blog and check out her gorgeous creations.

FMS111sketch

I probably took this sketch literally as the inspiration for my card came from the Christmas bauble.  I’ve decided to go with a Christmas card and instead of the bauble, I’ve used Christmas trees from a retired Stampin’ Up! set called Evergreen.  The colours I’ve used are Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay.

Hey Everyone

It’s Monday, so that means another fabulous sketch for you to create a Christmas card at Merry Monday.

I had these retired Stampin’ Up! papers – Cottage Wall DSP & Nursery Nest DSP – on my desk so it was easy for me to throw them together on my card. Here’s my card:
