Another different card for you today with the Beachy Little Christmas set.
The tree was coloured with the Watercolor Pencils. I did add some Wink of Stella to the larger shells although it is hard to see here. I added a strip of Red Glimmer Paper under the left edge of the white mat.
The Desiger Series Paper added to the Old Olive card base is from the Merry Little Christmas pack.
A simple, summery Christmas card.

A friend of mine turned 50 this week and we went to her birthday celebrations last night. Of course I wanted to make a card but sometimes it can be a bit overwhelming with what stamps to use or what colours. In our team group this week we have had a challenge to use a stamp set we haven’t used before. I could choose from a few different ones here. I have a number still uninked!! I went with the Blooms and Wishes set and used the Eclipse technique.
The colours used are Sweet Sugarplum, Fresh Fig, Flirty Flamingo, Pear Pizzazz and Lemon Lime Twist. I picked those colours from a Colour combination off Pinterest. I added a little bling with the Rhinestones.
Hope your weekend is going great. Today I have been at a Christmas market all day so it was a busy one but always great talking to people about stamping right. 🙂

For this week’s WATCH IT WEDNESDAY #12 I came across this video from Stampin’ Up! using the 3D Textured Impressions Embossing Folders. There are a number of these in the catalogue along with the regular Embossing Folders.
There are a couple of tips to remember when using the 3D ones that I thought it might be good to share this with you to help you get a deeper, crisper impression on your card. I hope you find this helpful.
I don’t know about you but I always forget to mist my card when I am using these folders.
Now this video used the lovely Layered Leaves but this week two of the 3D folders are on special for Extravaganza week. These are the Cable Knit and the Hexagons 3D.
The Cable Knit folder is 30% off this week at $11.90. See that in store->HERE.
The Hexagons Folder is 10% off at $14.40. See that in store -> HERE.
Shop for these or any other of the products reduced during Extravaganza week from 20th – 27th November. See all the details in the previous blog post.
Thanks for stopping by,

I know SO MANY people who have been waiting for Stampin’ Up! to bring out a Stamp Positioner. I can say the day has finally arrived! Over the last 18 months I have been working on a team with Stampin’ Up! to help develop this tool and I can say that this great piece of equipment will help you in your stamping. Whether you need to overstamp an image as it hasn’t come out well, or you have multiple of the same image to stamp, or just to line up 2 or 3 step stamped images easily. This Stamparatus is what you will need.
The Stamparatus will be available early next year but to help keep up with supplies Stampin’ Up! are offering a reservation order. So you reserve it now and pay for it when they arrive in Australia. There are 3 reservation periods. The first Reservation period begins TODAY in which delivery will be early February. Then there will be one in December and another in January with later delivery dates. These will then be available in the new Annual Catalogue in June 2018.
But I know since you have been waiting for this you will want to reserve your own NOW right?? This is how you can reserve one Today.
Reservation for the Stamparatus begins TODAY through my store -> HERE. There is only a limited number each round so you need to be quick! You will need to add your credit card details but payment won’t be made until the Stamparatus arrives. Then this will be processed as normal through my store. Cost will be $85. (maybe you will have some Christmas money to spend???).
Now go right now to reserve it as I have already heard the numbers are low.

I have been sharing a lot of projects using the Stampin’ Blends. I am really enjoying them. So easy to use and I am feeling like an artist!!! Well, maybe I have a little way to go. A few weeks ago I played with the Blends with the Beautiful You set. So I thought I would show you these in Watch It Wednesday #11.
Here are the 3 cards but I will show you them individually further below.
I did colour these a few weeks ago and I have worked on my colouring a bit more but you might find it helpful.
Here is the video for your enjoyment.
Here are each of the cards so you can see them close-up. I have kept the layout similar but created them in different colours and changed the Embossing Folders.
Night of Navy with the Sparkle Embossing Folder.
Rich Razzleberry with the Petal Burst Folder.
Cherry Cobbler with the Brick Wall Embossing Folder.
Did you notice the Rhinestones?? You can colour them with the Blends too.
So I hope you might have a play with them. They are really not hard at all to use and I love the effect with them.
Thanks for stopping by,
Jenny
I have a very short video to share with you today for this week’s edition of WATCH IT WEDNESDAY #10. I don’t know about you but sometimes those tiny little dies gets buried or dropped on the floor and you spend so long looking for them. Well! I saw an idea somewhere quite a few months ago and just recently introduced this in the classroom. I have to say this has been fantastic!! No more lost dies! Everyone loves the idea too when they come so I thought I would share it with you.
I hope you found that useful and you might be able to adapt it to your classroom or your own craft room.
If you want to keep up with the videos I share then be sure to subscribe to my Youtube channel -> HERE and if you haven’t already then be sure to Subscribe to my blog here (click on the link in the right hand column) to keep updated.

I was asked by a lovely friend to make 2 Wedding anniversary cards for 2 of her children who are both celebrating their anniversaries this month. I haven’t made too many anniversary cards so wondered what to do. Then … My order arrived with my Stampin’ Blends and the Always and Forever set. 🙂
These are the cards I made.
I wasn’t sure what I would do with the stamps though. I cut some squares of white card and would see where it would take me. I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Ink on Thick Whisper White card. That is essential when using the Stampin’ Blends. Then they were coloured them with the Blends. On scrap card I stamped them again. For the tree stump I stamped it in Night of Navy and cut the little hearts and adhered them straight on to the image. For the tree rings I stamped it on Night of Navy card and cut the heart out and then raised it up with Dimensionals and added a Rhinestone to the heart.
Instead of adhering the white card to a card mat I added a strip of either Silver Foil or Copper Foil at the top and bottom of the white card. The Designer Series Paper is from the Delightful Daisy DSP. The sentiment is from the Best Birds set and cut with the Bunch of Banners Framelits.
What do you think?
You can see the Always and Forever stamp set in my store now -> HERE.
You can find out more about the Stampin’ Blends AND don’t forget my Blends Club. Find out about that -> HERE.
Have a great weekend,
Jenny
