12 Days of Christmas DAY 12 !!

Ok last day if you're not ready by now you need to get cracking :)

Thought I would have a little bit of fun with my last christmas card. This card is made entirely from scraps which was great I have so many and i never get around to using them so this card is super special.

I used a Really Rust card stock base, with a chocolate chip band and gros grain ribbon, I used my scallop edge punch and scallop circle punch I used my Really rust marker to colour my ginger bread man which is from Stampin' Up! Hung up on the holidays

Day 11 already!!

This card is made from a piece of kraft card stock 7 1/2 " x 6" I used my So swirly roller with Chocolate chip ink, Scallop circle with bashful blue, 1 3/4" circle with kraft and 1 1/2" circle with chocolate chip card stock which i stamped with white craft ink, I used the season of joy stamp set.

This card was inspired by one which was featured in craft stamper magazine this month, but i changed the colours around abit for a fresher look.

Out of all the cards I have made so far this is definitely my favourite, it's just so simple and you can use any scrap designer papers that you have they don't need to be the same colour as mine.

This card is on an A5 kraft card stock card blank, I used a scrap of Chocolate Chip designer paper that i had left around, and the season of joy christmas tree stamp which I stamped on whisper white card stock with old olive ink. I also used my Chocolate Chip marker and my corner rounder.

I will definitely be sending a few more of these.

thanks for stopping by!

12 days of Christmas day 9

I saw a card similar to this on someone's blog, I really can't remember who's blog it was sorry when I blog hop I get carried away :)

Any how I think this card would be perfect for a one sheet card set, as you could stamp one whole sheet of card stock then use it to make lots of cards really quickly perfect for Christmas.

so for that reason I'm not going to give you the dimensions for this card,

the base is a Real Red card stock base with a whisper white layer, I also used kraft card stock and co ordinating taffeta.

I used the French Filigree back ground stamp and the level one hostess set which matches the square scallop edge punch.

wow I actually managed to get a close up of my glitter this time!

I love this card it's just so cheerful, sorry that the colours didn't come out so well again this time ( really is time for a new camera!)

This card is made from a scrap of chocolate chip card stock I had left over from another project the base is 17.5cm x 16cm folded in half.

I used some designer paper from the Christmas Jingle scappin kit again with some real red gros grain and I used my Big Deal alphabet on some whisper white card stock using my Old Olive and Real Red stampin write markers, ........ of course not forgetting my dazzlin diamonds! I cut out the letters and mounted them on dimensionals.

A Super quick card for today! This card was is made using the Stampin' Up! Christmas Jingle Simply Scrappin kit, the scrappin kits are a fantastic idea not only for scrap booking but also for super quick cards as they come with 6 sheets of self adhesive die cut card stock images so all you need to do is peel and stick. a selection of coordinating textured 12 x 12 card stock and 6 sheets of double sided co ordinating designer paper.

This card stock base is an A5 piece of Garden green card stock with a 10 x 8cm layer of designer paper and 18cm of chocolate chip gros grain ribbon. I also used my dazzlin Diamond with a2 way glue pen (sorry you can't see that to good in the photo)

I also used White craft Ink, Chocolate Chip stampin write marker, Real red marker, Twill tape and a scrap of whisper white card stock for the tag.

Stamps Winter post and Occasional Greetings.

12 Days of Christmas. day 1

here's the first of my 12 Christmas projects, I know it's not a partridge and a pear tree most certainly does not look like this but it is a tree! Unfortunately what I couldn't catch on camera was all sparkly snow glitter detail on the tree. This tree is from the Lovely as a tree stamp set.

So for the next 12 days I'm going to give you the measurements of all the pieces you need to make the projects I'm going to show you, so you can recreate them at home and we will all be just that little bit more prepared for Christmas.

here's what I used:

Chocolate chip card stock base ( A4 cut down to A5 21 cm x 14.9cm)

Close to cocoa cs layer (6cm x 10cm )

Whisper white layer (5.5cm x 9.5cm)

Whisper white ribbon 26cm

Craft white ink, stampin write markers in Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Garden Green, Dazzlin diamonds and a 2 way glue pen.

Thanks for stopping by Happy crafting!
