I wanted to share the Christmas cards I have received from lovely family and friends this Christmas. It’s so lovely to be thought of. Whether they are handmade or shop bought it’s so nice.
Since we are all about handmade cards here I thought I would share those ones with you.
I am sure there is some inspiration among them for you.
Hope you enjoyed your Christmas. I’m starting to play with lots of new products which is so fun. I will share soon.

Need your stamping supplies? In Australia I would love you to consider shopping with me. You can head to my store -> HERE. Last days of the Closeout sale.
I wanted to share this project with you today. This was a bonus project for our class last week. I saw these gorgeous Christmas decorations on Pinterest -> HERE.
I changed it up a bit. Rather than using the Gold Hoops I cut 2 circles from Gold Foil cutting the centre out of them too. Then layered them back to back. It still works well. I added some Vellum behind the wings and tail to add a little softness.
I think everyone liked it. I like how it is hanging in our Christmas tree. 🙂
Happy Christmas to you. I hope you have a wonderful, festive time and remembering the wonderful gift of peace and hope we have been given.
Today’s project I recently shared with my newsletter subscribers. I send out a tutorial for them each Tuesday. (If you don’t receive my newsletters yet – why not?? – Just click on the link in the right hand side bar to add yourself to the email list).
I wanted to share this project as my little Christmas gift to you. HAPPY CHRISTMAS. I have a video to help you create it. It’s now on Youtube too. (Be sure to subscribe to my Youtube channel too so you can get notified of videos I post).
This card is a Triangle Easel card. I have made a number of them over the years. They are really easy to make. I am using the Dove of Hope stamps and Dies. I am so sad these are leaving us.
I will add the measurements below too so you can follow along later.
DOVE OF HOPE TRIANGLE EASEL CARD
Base card: 10.5cm x 21cm Scored at 10.5cm 4 1/4″ x 8 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″. Scored the angle on the left hand square from the bottom centre score line to the top left corner.
‘Tis The Season Designer Series Paper 10.1cm x 10.1cm 4 1/8″ x 4 1/8″
Whisper White card 10.1cm x 10.1cm 4 1/8″ x 4 1/8″
The Dove of Hope stamps and the Dove Dies are available in my store now. They are on the Year-End Closeout list so will leave very soon. TIP: Buy the stamps and the Dies separately as they work out cheaper than buying them as a bundle. 🙂
Still time to grab your Free pack of Red Rhinestones with your order in the next week. Of course it may not arrive by Christmas BUT you can enjoy opening it still shortly after.
Thanks for visiting. Now go and enjoy the video – and then shop. 🙂

It will be on it’s way very soon. 🙂
FAREWELL WHISPER WHITE CARD
Stampin’ Up! quality Whisper White card and White card and envelopes and other related white card products as we know them are going. Sadly they have been impacted by the closure of the mill in the US.
Never fear though! Stampin’ Up! have been frantically researching and have now sourced a quality white card to replace these. These will be known as Basic White. At the moment there is no time as to when supplies will be available. I will keep you posted.
In the meantime, if you love the Whisper White and their products grab supplies now while there are some still in stock. There is only 2 packs per person available.
Today’s card I am sharing with you is another one we made at our Curvy Class a few weeks ago. I think this was a popular one too.
The Cherry Cobbler card mat was cut with the Curvy Dies and then embossed with the ‘dotty’ folder in the Wrapped in Texture Embossing Folders set. It was then adhered to the white card mat.
Before adhering the piece tie around some ribbon at the top. I used the Gold ribbon here. Everyone could choose the ribbon they wanted and it was interesting to see just how different they looked with the different ribbon choices. Some used the Gray Granite ribbon some the sparkly Snowflake Splendor ribbon.
The bow was stamped separately and fussy cut with scissors. It is hard to tell but we also use the Wink Of Stella Pen on it for a little sparkle. Finish the card with a Gold Faceted Gem for sparkle too.
We have one more class for the year next week and then we will be back in January 2021. If you are a Wollongong local come and join in the fun. I will post times soon.
Happy Stamping,
Jenny

Another variation with the Joy To The World Kit. This is a very simple version.
This time I stamped the wreath over a Crumb Cake card base to give that ‘tone-on-tone’ effect. The wreath was also stamped on to white card. The “Merry Christmas” was stamped over the wreath in Cherry Cobbler. This white card piece was matted onto a piece of Just Jade card.
To finish wrap the Cherry Cobbler twine a couple of times around the piece and tie in a bow. Then adhere it to the Crumb Cake card base with Dimensionals. Finish with a Gold Faceted Gem.
It’s great that you can use the beautiful stamp set for other Christmas cards.
Don’t forget to stamp the envelope.
Only a couple of days left to get the Joy To The World Kit. In Australia? You can grab one in my store -> HERE.
On my Facebook Live this week I created with the Joy To The World Kit. Such a gorgeous one. Of course you can make the cards as they are but … isn’t it great to mix them up a bit – and use those stamps more too.
This was the card I made on the Live. I posted the video below too so you can check it out. And also, see some tips in using this gorgeous kit.
I don’t usually stamp the inside of the card but I did for this one.
I will share some more of these cards over the next few days.
The video is below or You can catch the replay of my Facebook Live. I am trying to go Live on my Facebook page every Wednesday afternoon so I hope you can come and join the chat and the fun.
There is only a few days left to get the Joy To The World kit. You will make 8 gorgeous cards but have some of the lovely kit to make more. They are very quick to put together. Of course, try something different with them too.
