Christmas Cards made with Stampin' Up! New Seasonal Catty & main catty products!

Well "hello" September!! August was not a month I care to revisit so here's hoping September brings better things!! I have been doing a little creating with some projects so hopefully I can play "catchup" this month and share them with you! I made these Chrissy cards for my class with some of the new product from the new Seasonal Catalogue which is now live and the bottom card I actually made from product in our main catty - except for the sentiment which is a carry over set called Greetings of the Season and is still available. I actually stamped this one on some of the new Cordinations neutrals cardstock (not Whisper White standard) and it gives it that "canvas" textured look. They are all quick and "easy as" cards and especially the Festive Flurry (snowflakes) stamp set which has framelits to match!! Thanks for looking............cheers Sue :)

Bookmarks "shabby chic style" with Stampin' Up! new seasonal catty products!

It's Valentines Day tomorrow and I love hearts and flowers but I'm not kinda really into the "gushy, lovey, mushy kinda side of it so I haven't been creating that theme but instead had a bit of fun making these "shabby chic kind of modern vintage" style bookmarks! I cut the bookmarks using the Stampin' Up Two Tags Die and threw a bunch of ribbon, buttons and embellishments in front of myself and they came together no bother  at all. The Artisan Embellishment Kit has some great bits and bops in it and the new Flower Trim ribbon works well but my favourite is the new Build a Brad which just adds that bit of "wow" to a project! Hope you like them and have a "Happy Valentines Day" tomorrow.......................Sue :)

Baby Girl & Baby Boy Diaper-fold Gift Card Holders

These cute "diaper-fold" gift card holders were super easy to make basically just one sheet of 12x12 designer patterned paper, a little punch art (these baby ideas are from a punch art tutorial I bought from US demonstrator - Jackie Topa) and a little ribbon and button embellishing. As I said the diaper-fold is super easy, I'm pretty certain I saw this fold on Splitcoaststampers. My "creative mojo" seems to disappear ocassionally like it decides to go on holiday now and then which is great for a break sometimes but I am always glad when I feel it coming back and I can get back to some happy, inspired creating! :).....hope you like these.....that's it for me for today.......cheers Sue

Christmas Rosette Wreath made with Stampin' Up! Be of Good Cheer DSP

I've been plodding around with this Christmas Rosette Wreath project for a couple of weeks on and off but finally finished it this afternoon! I made all the rosettes with my Simply Scored tool but if  I were planning on making any number of these I would put Stampin' Ups new Designer Rosette Bigz XL die on my "Dear Santa" list, I think it would be alot quicker and easier to make it that way!  Actually I'd been waiting for my order from the new cattys  because I wanted to embellish the rosettes with some of the new buttons and ribbon! I can at least "cross this project" off my huge "Christmas projects to do" list. Hooray! Enjoy what's left of your weekend!..........cheers Sue
