Something for Christmas with embossing, markers and shimmer

More Christmas! Can't get enough of it really :)
Here I have used the Vintage wallpaper embossing folder to create that beautifully textured background and the lovely new Something for Christmas Alacarte stamp with markers. The colours used are Very vanilla, Old olive, Cherry cobbler and Real red.

I don't know if you can see in the picture, but I have used a little bit of the vanilla smooch spritz on this stamped and hand cut decoration from the Tree trimmings stamp set. It just adds a little shine to the card! 

Happy Stamping!
Love, Claire

CASEing Teneale Williams - Tree Trimmings Christmas Card

I really do admire Teneale Williams style! I found this card on her blog, here. It was such a lovely bright Christmas card that I just had to do my take on it... which wasn't a lot different really! I have subsituted all of the colours though. Teneale used Old olive, Baja breeze and Real red whilst I chose to use some of our current in colours - Lucky limeade, Pool party and Poppy Parade. My sentiment is also different as I used the current Teeny tiny sentiments stamp set on my card.

 

Hope you enjoy and go have a little look at Teneale's beautiful creations.

Happy Stamping!

Love, Claire

Something NEW for Christmas

Hello my stamping friends!

Just thought I would pop in to share a card with you as it has really been too long between blog posts. Whilst I have been busy it hasn't stopped me stamping, but my dear camera has definetely died so I am relying on my trusty iphone as a camera and it really doesn't cut it with photo quality... so we are on the lookout for a new camera... but in the meantime I hope you can cope with some very average picture quality!
Here is one of the cards we'll be making this Saturday at our New catalogue Launch. I've used a brand new A la carte stamp here called Something for Christmas with the lovely Stampin' write markers directly on the stamp. Some gorgeous new Cherry cobbler striped grosgrain ribbon and the (new to me) Vintage wallpaper embossing folder in the Big shot.
I am running this launch with my friend and upline, Paula and she will be sharing another cute and New card with us all. If you haven't reserved your spot at this workshop yet then make sure you email or call me in the next day so we can make up your kits for you!

I have lots of new ideas here that I just have to photograph and then I can share with you all! Until then,
Happy Stamping!
Love, Claire
