Merry (Magnolia) Monday

Can't take any credit for the idea of colouring the Magnolia Lane papers in with the Real Red Stampin Blends to create poinsettia flowers...

And annoyingly I forgot to note the name of my fellow clever demonstrator that first shared the idea on out International Demo Only FB site... so please let me know if it was you... and I will quickly update my post...

But thought I should share with you just in case you hadn't caught up with this great idea for getting more out of your papers!!

Tuesday Tips - with Bokeh Dots...

Following quickly on from yesterday's post with a few added extras and a few Tips as we go along...

Here are a couple more variants of this simple little christmas seasonal card featuring the long term favourite Lovely as a Tree along with the new favourites Bokeh Dots and Itty Bitty Greetings...

And first up... an essential tip for you... make sure you stamp your trees far enough up so that the sky area is completely filled in with the Bokeh Dots stamps... you don't want a white gap at the top!!!

Or at the bottom... Or else you will have to do this...

Though I do rather like the add of a Blueberry Bushel glittery lake!! In fact it will probably get repeated... The subtle glitter on the lake being care of the clear Wink of Stella brush pen... and do check out the textural effect of the starry Bokeh Dots stamp

And here is the same base card but with a punched 3/4" circle mask over a tree before Bokeh Dots stamping ... and finished off with Wink of Stella for the silvery moon as well as on the snowline...

Card Blank = 10.5cm Square ( US Letter 4 1/4") with Black Mat 7.9cm (3 1/8") Square and White panel 3" Square

Merry Monday - Bokeh Dots & Lovely as a Tree

So it has taken me a while to decide on my first christmas season pre-purchases from the lovely new Autumn Winter Catalogue... and I have finally ordered this weekend... so no box has arrived as yet...

But in the meantime I have some new christmassy makes with my lovely new Bokeh Dots stamps for you in any case...

So these may be simple...but effective... and they are what you get when you just mix something OLD (Lovely as a Tree) with something NEW (Bokeh Dots)... a BORROWED card layout design from earlier days... click here to see the full all-year-round range!.. and (last but not least!) with something BLUE (Balmy Blue)...

Greeting from the wonderful workhorse of a greetings stamp set, Itty Bitty Greetings...and snowlines finished off with a subtle but sparkly layer of Wink of Stella glittering... 

Oh christmas cards could be very quick & easy this year!

Hang Your Christmas Stockings Trio

A clean and simple little trio made whilst I had the Hang Your Stockings and Christmas Stocking dies out the other week...  in soft blues and greys by special request... forgotten how good this set is... glad I thought to get it out again...

Hang your Very Glittery Gold Stocking...

Just as quick to create as yesterdays silver stocking card... but again very striking and effective in the flesh... 

Garden Green stamped pine boughs and greeting from Christmas Pines... 

Gold Glimmer Christmas Stocking die cut stocking popped up using Stampin Dimensionals... 

Finished off with a holly sprig from the Hang Your Stockings stamps (that co-ordinate with the Stockings dies)
