cards, Christmas

CHRISTMAS CARD LOVE!

We received lots of lovely cards this Christmas.  It was always nice opening the envelopes.  There were store bought cards and handmade cards.  All so nice that we were thought of.  Since it’s all about hand-made here I thought I would show you the beautiful hand-made cards we received.  Maybe they will inspire you.

These are with some non Stampin’ Up! products.  Aren’t they gorgeous?

These ones below are predominantly with Stampin’ Up! products. Such a beautiful selection.

All sent with love.  I am so blessed. 🙂

Thank You to those of you who sent me cards.  All appreciated.

I think that’s a wrap for Christmas 2019.  January brings us the new 2020 Mini Catalogue and Sale-A-Bration which we all love.  Stay tuned for projects with these.

Still time to request your free catalogues too.  Head -> HERE to fill out the short request form.  Australian residents only. 

Thanks for following me along this year.  I have loved sharing my projects with you and can’t wait to share more in 2020.

Happy creating,

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #82 – COLOURING THE MAGNOLIA LANE DESIGNER SERIES PAPER!

Wednesday’s WOW! #82.  Today is a little technique, or a little trick however you like to look at it.  It is colouring the Designer Series Paper, particularly the Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper with the Stampin’ Blends.

Perhaps you have seen this around the internet so apologies that you have already seen it. It’s not my original idea.  I have had this card made for a few weeks and just managing to share it with you now.  It might just be a new trick though for you.

The Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper is very pretty already. You really don’t need to add colour but it’s good to add a little different colour to make it for a totally different occasion.

Colouring with the Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends makes the flowers look more like Poinsettias for a Christmas paper.  With this particular print you don’t need to colour the leaves.  They will work just as well as they are.

So here is the finished card.

The sentiment for the card is from the Itty Bitty Christmas set punched out with the Timeless Label Punch. They are great Christmas sentiments in this.  Add a little of the Scalloped Lace Trim and I cut some gold leafy shapes using the Flourish dies.

It looks pretty Christmas-y now don’t you think?? 🙂

I am sure this would work well for other papers and colours too.  I was going to try another one but ran out of time.  Add it to the ‘To Do’ list.

Happy Stamping,

Jenny
