Deck the halls

Too early for Christmas cards?  No, it's never too early to start making your cards so there isn't a last minute rush.  The Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalogue starts on 1 September and to help us get started on our cards early, they've released the gorgeous Carols of Christmas stamp set and co-ordinating Card Front Builder Thinlits dies now instead of waiting until 1 September. 

Here's one of the cards I've made using this bundle.

To make the Deck the Halls card I started with a Cherry Cobbler card base.  I then used the Bundle of Love Specialty Designer Series Paper which I diecut using the decorative edge die from the Card Front Builder Thinlits set.  I used the die twice to diecut the top and bottom of the card to get that beautiful decorative edge with the card base colour peeking through.  This decorative edge die is versatile and can be used on any occasion card including birthdays, weddings etc.

To create the centre focal sentiment I stamped the Deck the Halls sentiment onto Very Vanilla card stock.  It was diecut using the Stitched Shapes square die and layered onto Gold Foil and Cherry Cobbler card stock which had both been diecut using Layering Squares framelit dies.  A Gold Natural Trim bow was then added to the sentiment.  To complete the card, I adhered the small floral cluster which had been stamped using the poinsettia and leaves from the Carols of Christmas stamp set and diecut with co-ordinating dies from the Card Front Builder Thinlits set.

If you live in Australia, don't already have a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and would like the Holiday Catalogue which starts on 1 September, please contact me as I'd be happy to send you a copy.

Moon baby card with a sneak peak

I'm going to a baby shower soon and couldn't resist using the Stampin' Up! Moon Baby stamp set to create this card.  It also has a sneak peek of the new Card Front Builder Thinlits dies which will be available from 1 August.

To create this card I started with a Stampin' Up! Daffodil Delight card base.  I then took a piece of Whisper White card stock and diecut the stars/moon along the top using a die from the new Card Front Builder Thinlits die set.  These dies will be available from 1 August 2017 and can be bundled to get a 10% discount when purchasing the Carols of Christmas stamp set.  Whilst these dies are bundled with a Christmas stamp set they are versatile and don't have to be used on just Christmas cards. 

I then stamped the stars and baby onto the Whisper White cardstock and layered a piece of Birthday Memories Designer Series Paper at an angle along the bottom of the card stock before adhering it to the card base.  A piece of 1/8" sheer Whisper White ribbon was adhered along the diagonal edge too. I also used some of the Birthday Memories DSP to create the baby's jumpsuit and Silver Glimmer paper formed the umbrella to which I added a small Rhinestone coloured with an alcohol marker.  The sentiment is also from the Moon Baby stamp set, was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and diecut using one of the smaller Layering Ovals dies.  A co-ordinating scallop Layering Ovals die was used to diecut some Daffodil Delight card stock to go under the sentiment.  A couple of Silver Glimmer stars were diecut using the small star from the Santa's Sleigh thinlits set.

Here are my Card Front Builder Thinlits dies and Carols of Christmas stamp set and you'll see the top die was the one used to create this card.  These products sold individually or as a bundle will be available to purchase from my online store from 1 August 2017.  I'll have more card samples available soon using this bundle - so please check back later.
