Trial…

Well..  I’m stuck in traffic  so thought I’d try a blog post just using a mobile phone and see what I can do....

Firstly…  check out the amazing deals on the ‘Last Chance List’ come Tuesday 11pm…. 

Secondly …a quick creative share… a little something we were making in the last week.. which proved so very popular…

Amazingly I have been able to do more than I thought just using my mobile phone… a tech improvement for once!! As it is years since I have tried to do a blog post using just an iPad or iPhone 

Home for Christmas Santa Watercolor Thank You Cards

Just a quick last christmas share!

Just hours before the release of the new Spring Summer Catalogue and Sale A Bration promotion! So I will be back very soon with all the details on those...

So in the meantime...for once my son beat me to the writing of the Thank You cards!

So I had to quickly add a front to the blank notecards I had quickly handed to him so he could get the job done before heading back to school today...

And this is what I came up with... well it seemed a waste to not use those 3D Home For Christmas Santas I already had cut and ready to go...

They may be simple... but they do look cute!

Holly Box Frame Card

Another Simple Box Frame card....

Card details as before...

But this time...

Dressed with punched Mossy Meadow holly leaves care of the Reason for the Season stamps & Festive Flower punch nibbled around the edges with the 1/2" circle punch...

Topped off with Real Red 1/2" berries...

Poinsettia Reason For The Season Box Frame Card

Simple ..but stunning...

Make one Box Frame card...

Cut out a Poinsettia from Home For Christmas paper

Die cut a Home For Christmas paper Scallop square with a large square centre at the same time!

Stamp a simple Reason For the Season greeting... Sponge Crumb Cake around the edges...

Stick it all together

Cozy Christmas & Wonderland Swing Easel Card

Another day... Another Swing Easel card...

I had a few kits left over as people didn't arrive or had to leave early.. So I kept on making cards up...

Quite a lot of Swing Easel cards going out this Christmas!

This is just taking my simple little Snow Chalet scene... And popping it onto a Swing Easel Card to make it more WOW!

Reason For The Season Fir Trees!?

This was one of those...I wonder if... moments...

I was just clearing away after the last card class of the year...and an idea popped into my head for the Reason For The Season poinsettia petals stamps...

So I tried it... And I LOVE what resulted...

Very contemporary fir trees.... using the 3 sizes of petals... all finished off with lots of Signo gel pen and Dazzling Diamonds glitter to ensure a snowy scene...

And whilst I was there I made a couple more versions of cards using this simple little snowy scene...

The first with more white...

The second on a Swing Easel card... clean and un-adulterated!
