Pink ribbon of courage

Today is the last day of my fundraiser to raise donations for the Cancer Council Australia.

This card is a very similar in design to one I did earlier in the month but features a Powder Pink and Fresh Fig colour scheme. If you want to help, why not get the Ribbon of Courage stamp set and co-ordinating Support Ribbon thinlits bundle from me and I'll donate $5 for every bundle sold by 31 October. This set isn't limited to making cards for those suffering from cancer, it can be used for birthday and other occasions too. Here's the same card, but instead of using the large ribbon diecut, I added the flower & leaves which is also in the set.

Night of Bethlehem christmas card

If you're looking to make a more traditional Christmas card, the Stampin' Up! Night of Bethlehem stamp set and co-ordinating Bethlehem Edgelits dies would be a perfect choice.

Stampin' Up! Night of Bethlehem card by Angela Lovel, Angela's PaperArts

To create this card I started with a Whisper White card base and added a layer of the Merry Music Speciality Designer Series Paper. I then stamped the scene and sentiment from the Night of Bethlehem stamp set onto another piece of Whisper White card stock. The characters were also stamped in black ink, die cut and layered onto the card. A gold star and partial gold foil snowflake completes the card.

Brightly Lit Christmas U Card

One of my favourite stamp & co-ordinating thinlits sets out of the 2017 Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalogue is the Brightly Lit bundle.

Instructions for creating the U fold card can be found here and I just made the sides a little narrower on this Christmas card compared to the previous baby U fold card. It's so easy to adjust the size of this style of card to suit your purposes.

This card started with a Whisper White card base and I layered the gorgeous metallic Year of Cheer Designer Series Paper onto the card base and the 'bridge' section of the card. The lampposts and embellishments were diecut using Stampin' Up! Silver & Gold Foil and Silver Glimmer paper. The centre 'U' of the card features the Winter Wonder Textured Impressions Embossing Folder which had snowflakes from the Seasonal Layers thinlit set layered onto it and I added a strip of the Year of Cheer silver washi tape at the top of the snowflake. The sentiment to complete the card is from the Star of Light stamp set which was heat embossed using Silver embossing powder.

Baby booties gift card holder

The Stampin' Up! Trim Your Stocking Thinlits Dies aren't just for making Christmas Stockings - why not make baby booties and slip a gift card inside for expectant friends.

Stampin' Up! Christmas Stocking by Angela Lovel, Angela's PaperArts

To make the baby bootie, I used the Stampin' Up! Trim Your Stockings Thinlits Dies to create the Blushing Bride card stock stocking and the pillowbox which goes on the back of the stocking. I then diecut and adhered the contrasting trims using the Bundle of Love Designer Series Paper. The sentiment is from the Moon Baby stamp set and was diecut using one of the smaller Sweet & Sassy hearts framelits. A piece of Gold Natural Trim was added to the top of the bootie.
