CHRISTMAS CARDS

Sharing some really simple and easy Christmas cards that I have been creating to take to the markets.  The colours I have used have been Whisper White Cardstock and stamped images in Cherry Cobbler and Gumball Green.  If you need to create a lot of Christmas cards it is a good idea to keep a simple design and use some great colours together.

ANOTHER POSTCARD CHRISTMAS CARD

SEPTEMBER CHRISTMAS CARD CLASS

I just love it when it is time to start creating Christmas cards

in our regular monthly card classes.

As this post goes to air these are the 3 cards that my ladies will be sitting down

and creating.

Our first card was this pretty card using the Gorgeous Grunge and Mosaic Madness

stamp sets together with yummy Silver Glimmer Paper.  The other colours

I used were Pistachio Pudding, Coastal Cabana and Whisper White.

Inks used were Bermuda Bay, Pool Party and a touch of Smoky Slate.

Our next card was this one using the traditional green and red Christmas colours.

In this case I used Cherry Cobbler and Gumball Green (my two favourite

Christmas colours) together with some of the new Season of Style DSP.

And our final card was this fancy wiper card.  I shall try to link the tutorial by Dawn

at the bottom of this post for anyone who would like to try this card

for themselves.  It was pretty easy and I thought very cute.

Mosiac Madness Christmas Card

Well I am definitely starting to think about Christmas cards and gifts with quite a few markets coming up in the next couple of months.

So, with this in mind I was playing around again with my Mosaic Madness stamp set and this is another little Christmas card I came up with today.

How cute do they look as little Christmas baubles?

To create the background I also inked up one of  my clear mount blocks in Pistachio Pudding and stamped twice just to make it interesting.

September Stamp Club

This is one of the projects we created in last night's Stamp Club.

I used the Mosaic Madness stamp set to create the Christmas baubles.  It's always great when your stamp sets can be used in many different ways and for different themes.

It is a bit hard to tell but I have also added a small punch of Silver Glimmer Paper in the middle of two of the baubles.  Oh and I have just realised I had added a small Cherry Cobbler twine bow to the green bauble just to finish it off,  after I took this photo.

I am also loving the beautiful Season of Style Designer Washi Tape.  It is the Washi Tape I have used at the bottom of this card.

The Washi Tape is so simple to use and is also great value.  You get 4.6 metres of each of the 3 designs you see here in the one package for $8.95.

Supplies used:  Cardstock - Whisper White, Raspberry Ripple, Ink Pads - Raspberry Ripple, Old Olive, Stamp Sets:  Mosaic Madness, More Merry Messages (carried over from previous catalogue), Season of Style Designer Washi Tape, Mosaic Punch, Silver Glimmer Paper
