TSOT #135

Hello! It's time again for another sketch at Try Stampin' On Tuesday, with the additional theme of using circles on your card.

I wanted to make another Christmas card - my stash is no where near where it needs to be! I heat embossed my image panel and sentiment in gold. The baubles are made from the retired stamp set pendant park and punched out with different size punches, I got the idea from Mary Fish.

Now over to you - it's great seeing what you come up with.

Just also wanted to welcome the new designers that have joined our team - they are fabulous! And if you want to see the design teams creations, go here.

Thanks for looking

Festive Friday #29 - Colour Challenge

Hey there! Well it's time again for another Festive Friday and this week Nicole has given us a colour challenge.  Here are the colours we have to work with:

Here's my creation:

I went with a joy fold card, but I turned it vertically. I used the lucky limeade for my base, and used some lucky limeade DSP from Nursery Nest for the bottom flap. I used my old faithful polka dot from the paper stacks in melon mambo, every thing has been matted on whisper white. I used my 'Tree Trimmings' and stamped them in tempting turquoise and clear heat embossed them to give them some shine and the two smaller ornaments are cut out and placed on dimensionals for a bit of depth. The sentiment is from 'Four the Holidays' and stamped in melon mambo and I used some retired melon mambo buttons. I've held the top card with a punched heart, which I embossed with the polka dot embossing folder.

So go past Nicole's blog and see the other great creations from the design team and have a go at this bright colour combo.

Thanks for looking!

Christmas Cards #2

 Hi again! Here's a few more of my Christmas cards from my pile.

This card was a complete case from Teneale Williams. I think all of Teneale's cards are amazing and why mess with perfection. I did however change the base colour to old olive and the greeting.

 This card started as a entry for a challenge, but I missed out a required element, and when I tried to add it, it didn't look right. So I stuck with what I had.

I was flicking through the 2010-2011 Stampin Up idea book and used the card on page 28, as my inspiration. I kept it a little bit cleaner, and made it square, but still like the overall effect.
