Just a quick post today. I wanted to show you this card, I think it is one of my favourites from my Christmas Stamp-A-Stacks over the last few months.
Sponging and masking – 2 of my favourite stamping techniques together!!! I CASED this from Crafterbobbie on Splitcoaststampers. I changed the colours and the greeting used. Colours are Old Olive and Crumb Cake. I also used Soft Suede instead of the Crumb Cake on some of the cards we did. This is very easy to create. To create your mask take a piece of copy paper the same size as your Whisper White card, cut a rectangle from the centre. Add dotto to the back of the copy paper piece and add to your White card.
Stamp the tree from ‘Lovely As A Tree’ in Old Olive several times. Offset the tree each time and re-ink before you stamp. Sponge in Old Olive around the trees while you still have the mask in place. Remove the mask and remove any adhesive residue from the white card using your trusty Adhesive Remover (something I have on my desk all the time when I stamp!). Stamp up Dasher in the bottom right corner in Soft Suede and your greeting in the bottom left. Adhere this to the Crumb Cake (or Soft Suede) mat and then to the Old Olive base. Add some bling to Dasher’s Antlers with Adhesive Rhinestones. See, easy!!
Don’t forget, you still have time to enter my blog giveaway for 20,000 hits. I know it is a small number compared with some blogs, but I am excitied! When I started this I really didn’t think I would get many people stopping by my corner of blogland, so it is nice to see that people do stop by. So to celebrate I wanted to say ‘Thanks’ by giving away a little prize. See the previous post for details, or if you are subscribing you can check the details here. You have until tomorrow night (Sunday night – Australian time).
Thanks for stopping by today. I hope things aren’t too frantic with all the Christmas preparations. I still have wrapping to do and the cards to write. I think I might put 2 elves here to work!!!!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend,

On Saturday I held my Sale-A-Bration Kick-Off event to start the new year of stamping. It was a great day with some lovely ladies. I think they enjoyed their stamping???? This is the project I put together for them.
I have used the Sale-A-Bration set ‘Bliss’. I love that set, it is so versatile. I used the lovely rich Cherry Cobbler and Regal Rose. This is the box.
This is just a little narrow box as you can see in the photo below. Just the size to put some small love note size cards or something simlar.
The original box came from a USTAMP project a few years ago. I modified it a little to fit our card size so I could get 2 per sheet. On the front of the box we scalloped the edge of the Regal Rose card with the scallop trim punch. On the Whisper White card, I sponged the edges of the card with the Regal Rose ink. The flourish from the set was stamped in Cherry Cobbler. The butterflies for the box and the card were stamped in scrap card in Regal Rose and then rock and rolled in Cherry Cobbler. These were cut and raised up with dimensionals. The little tags were made with the Tiny Tags set. The flourish from that set was stamped in Regal Rose on the white and Cherry Cobbler on the Regal Rose. The greeting was stamped on the white. They were punched out and layered and raised up with the dimensionals. Phew! That’s a mouthful! Does that all make sense??? Here is a close up to see that clearer.
To add the bling I added a Rhinestone to the centre of the flourish and the edge of the tags.
The card was similar to the box with the flourish and 2 butterflies. The greeting is from Teeny Tiny Sentiments. Here is a close up of the card.
I had made up a similar box in different colours for the lucky Door Prize.
I used Elegant Eggplant cardstock and Lap of Luxury DSP. The tag was made using the “For You” Flower from the Sale-A-Bration set “Punch Bunch. It was first stamped in Elegant Eggplant and then stamped again in Pretty in Pink. I cut the one flower out and raised it up with dimensionals. This was punched out with the 1 1/4″ circle then matted with a 1 3/8” circle in Elegant Eggplant and I then punched out a scallop circle in Pretty in Pink. I added some Dazzling Diamonds for a bit of bling.
Ok, I hope I didn’t bore you too much with all those details. It was a fun day and I’m looking forward to more stamping with my friends soon. Right now, I’m getting off here. It is such a hot day here today. The summer weather has arrived just when all the kids go back to school today.
See you soon,
Jenny xx
Can you believe it! I have just hit 10,000 hits on my blog and I didn’t even realise it. Thanks to Andrea for pointing it out to me. I can remember the excitement when I hit 1,000 hits! It’s nice to know that people click on my blog (even if it is by accident!!). Sometimes you feel like you are talking to yourself here. So, if you stop by make sure you leave a comment. Even if it is just to tell me how you are going. I like to hear it. Remember too, you can subscribe to my blog. Just click on the link in the right side bar and it will ask your email address. Then, when I update my blog it will be sent straight to your email. That makes life easier for you.
I have a lot of Christmas projects I have been working on in the last few weeks and I can show you them now. It seems funny because today I have been playing around with my new Summer mini goodies.
A few weeks ago I was asked to do a Christmas card for the residents of a local nursing home. The requirements were that it be simple as many have difficulty with their hands. I wasn’t even sure how many would turn up. So, I turned to the ‘Lovely As A Tree’ stamp set. Always a good stand by! I ended up having just over 20 there. One lady was to turn 101 the following week. She was amazing and I have to say was more adept than some of the 90 year olds! You’re never to old to stamp!!!
This is the card we made.
I stamped the front of the card and the Whisper White card with the group of trees in Baja Breeze. The large tree was stamped in front of these on the white card in Night of Navy. The greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments was stamped in Rose Red. The white Card was then matted onto Rose Red card and then adhered to the Baja Breeze base. I was so tempted to use Dazzling Diamonds on the large tree. It would have looked nice but we probably would have had a nice mess! They really liked what they did and have asked me back in the new year. So it musn’t have been too bad for them. LOL
Tomorrow the new Summer Mini Catalogue becomes available. There are so many new and exciting products in there let me tell you! Tomorrow is also the start of December Frenzy. Some products are up to 50% off. This is just in time for some last minute Christmas shopping. So don’t forget to stop by to check it out!
World Cardmaking Day is a day to celebrate the giving of cards. In today’s society it is so easy to text or email. The art of creating and giving cards is being lost.
Come along and join in the fun! We will create this mini gift box and 4 love note cards. This would make a great gift for someone special or for you to keep yourself.
WHEN: Saturday October 2nd at 2pm.
WHERE: My studio, East Corrimal
