Merry and Type – A Stamping Journey

Where has the last week gone to??? I can’t believe they are flying past. Already it is mid November!!! I am here to finally show you my projects for the Inspiration Board at Heartfelt Stampin’ Up! event in Sydney last week. I had been thinking about what to do for some time but when it came to it and there was one week to go, there was not a lot of time left. So, what was I going to do??? I decided to make some Card Candy. I don’t know about you but I am always on the lookout for these ideas. They are great to quickly add to a card front or a tag and as a Demonstrator they can make great gifts for your hostesses. So, with that I got creating! Also, I thought I don’t have a lot of time, so these would be quick to whip up. Well I was wrong on that count. They probably took longer than a card because there were so many bits to them, but I had a lot of fun making them. Once I started there was so many ideas coming. Ok, so here they are for you.

Since Christmas is nearly upon us I thought Christmas Card Candy would be good. Here is the Christmas one.

Here is a close-up of some of them.

Just a quick one today. I thought I would show you this card that I have had for a few weeks to show. This uses the new set “Merry and Type”. It is loosely based on a card I saw on SplitcoastStampers a while ago. It is a very simple card.

I stamped the baubles in Cherry Cobbler onto Whisper White card. I embossed a strip of Crumb Cake ink with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder. Behind this strip I adhered strips of Cherry Cobbler card. The bottom one I scalloped the edge with the Scallop Border Punch. This was then adhered to the Whisper White card. I rounded the corners of this piece and the Cherry Cobbler Base card. The greeting was stamped in Cherry Cobbler and mounted on a piece punched with the Decorative Label Punch. I added a Rhinestone to the centre of one of the baubles. So easy! I think this is one that you could mass produce easily.

I’m off now. See you again soon.
