Card stock: Kraft, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White

No stamping!

Quick easy but a bit messy :) sounds good to me unfortunately my floor doesn't agree I accidentally tipped the glitter over the cream carpet when making this card but the glitter is gorgeous it's ultra fine real red and it's really pretty, this picture really doesn't do it justice just check out my carpet for the proof and my face and my hands and my jeans you get the picture.
So I've been playing with one of the new simply scrappin' kits available in the new catalogue on Thursday This kit is called Christmas jingle and is a great way to make some fab Christmas cards quickly and easily with the addition of a co-ordinating pack of card stock for your card blanks you are away, I've been led to believe that from one kit you can make about 60 cards I haven't got that far yet but will let you know how many I manage.

I used:

Card Stock: Real Red, Chocolate Chip

Simply scrappin' kit christmas jingle

Accessories: Gold elastic cord, Real Red Fine Galaxy glitter, 2 way glue pen.

Thanks for stopping by i'm off to use the hoover :)
