Carols of Christmas Group Shot and Round Up

I was asked to put up a group shot of my Carols of Christmas card makes so far...  so here you go... 2 versions!

Out of interest which visual do you prefer? Photo Collage or Wood Caddy? (actually a Gardeners Caddy that I couldn't resist!! Thanks TK Maxx)

Card Front Builder dies and co-ordinating Carols of Christmas available to purchase on early release now... in wood or clear mount bundles with 10% off...

Click on the individual photos below for more details and direction...

And here is another group shot to finish off the post...

Carols of Christmas & Card Front Builder dies #5

This is probably the simplest card of the series... but stunning in its simplicity...

But before I start... NEWSFLASH... the Daisy Delight & Daisy Punch bundle (item code 145361) is back in stock and available to order... 

So if you would like it... click here for my Online Shop to order straightaway before it runs out again... Remember to enter Host/Stampin Rewards code EQDXYJRE for an extra gift from me. 

Also remember that a £45+ order would earn you a £4.50 Bonus Days coupon to spend in August! I would highly recommend topping with the co-ordinating Delightful Daisy papers and/or Faceted Gems (in Gold and Clear) and/or a couple of ink-pads OR the 1/2" Circle Punch

OR for those of you more local... I will be next ordering on Monday, 31 July for delivery here if you can collect & "live" if it goes out of stock again by then!!

Back to the card... Again a simple Notecard with a Layered Ovals aperture.  Delightful Daisy paper mat with white embossed greeting...

Double die cut trees duo... Silver Glimmer over Tranquil Tide for a shadow...

And a Smoky Slate stamped and die cut deer... cut the right way round this time...

And here is a round up picture of the 2 notecards in my series... click here for the details of the other one... 

Carols of Christmas & Card Front Builder Dies #4

Another day ... another simple card using the Carols of Christmas and Card Front Builder dies... click here for the set details...

Spot the fantastic feature frame on this one.... beautiful!

Double die cut trees... Silver Glimmer over Tranquil Tide to give a shadow and more definition...

Greeting inked up in Pool Party with Tranquil Tide added to the central "on" section using a marker pen...

And finished off with the lovely Tranquil Tide 1/2" Finely Woven Ribbon...

WOW!

Carols of Christmas #3

More of my series of makes using the soon to be released Carols of Christmas and Card Front Builder dies... Click here for the details on this set (as well as how to get your hands on these now)

Die cut trees and moon & stars (single and duo trees in the Card Front Builder set) Loving these large words... the greeting size being perfect for a Stitched Shapes square frame...

Set on  a Small Square Double Z Joy Fold card... click here for the Tutorial for that...

Featuring the Delightful Daisy papers again for the front and centres... with Fresh Florals for the back...

Colours used - Tranquil Tide & Pool Party with Silver Glimmer...

Note that the Tranquil Tide tree on the front is stamped again for texture with the Background Bits stamp and it is popped onto a Silver Glimmer tree so it has a snow line...

Lovely simple little Fancy Fold card...

And here is the round up picture of my Carols of Christmas Small Square Double Z Joy Fold cards... the bauble one being posted yesterday...

Carols of Christmas #1

So I have finally had the chance to get working with the pre-released Carols of Christmas bundle (including Card Front Builder dies). So a few shares for you this week... This is a really great set with lots of options & potential...

This product is available now for demos to order. Or get the stamps for free with a Demo Starter Kit in July... along with an Essentials Kit too... which makes it a great time for signing up now... read more about that here...

And for everyone else the bundle is available to order from 1st August ... so please contact me now if you would like to order yours... £46.75 in Wood Mount or £40.50 in Clear Mount. My August order will be 1st August...

And remember that - if you have ordered £45+ in July - then you can use your Bonus Days coupon(s) towards it...

Back to the card... starting off the series with a simple Notecard with a Layered Ovals aperture.

Delightful Daisy paper mat (I have been saving this sheet especially for Christmas in July makes... Perfect!)

Die cut moon and stars with a Silver Glimmer piece behind at the top...

Die cut trees duo... finished off by stamping with the small rectangular stamp from Background Bits in Tranquil Tide to add texture and definition (you may need to click on the photo to see that...)

And a glimmer deer... cut the wrong way round!!! (ie cut through on the white side rather than the glitter side) A happy accident...

Sleigh Ride Deep Box Frame Card

So my half day Sleigh Ride class became a full day class!! Yay... that meant I got to go back and play with my wonderful & favourite Sleigh Ride dies....

But then.... ever made a card and it doesn't turn out as planned...

And you look at it and think it is great...but how am I going to send it!?

Well this was one of those - my 3D formation turned out far too deep for my original plan... nearly 3/4" to be precise...

So a quickly re-designed 3/4" deep Box Frame card to the rescue... and all I can say is WOW! Knew I had developed my Box Frame card for a very good reason...

This clean & simple style double Fancy Fold card packs a visual punch...
