Stamping Sunday Blog Hop - Headstart on the Holidays

Hello and welcome stamping friends,

today we are getting a head start on the "holidays" with some Christmas themed crafting.

This lovely stamp set recently made it's way on to my desk as I was delighted with the pretty flowers and the delicate foliage.  It is called Vintage Christmas (159781) and the set pairs beautifully with Bottled Happiness (158684) from the main catalogue AND has a punch to match (Bundled saving 158690, Punch only 158689)

So here is my first play with it, and the projects I made...

I decided to stamp it on to Crumb Cake and used the following colours

White, Poppy Parade, Soft Suede, Garden Green and Old Olive.

After stamping the whole sheet I cut it up to decorate a couple of boxes and make 6 cards.

I used the Gold Pizza boxes that are in the clearance rack currently.

The stamped panels were mounted onto Real Red card and then onto a Very Vanilla card base.

Here is the video of how I created it

Please check out the gorgeous projects from the rest of the hoppers

{One Sheet Wonder Wednesday - Stampin Up Touches of Texture}

Hi there, welcome to my blog, sorry I didn't get round to doing a one sheet wonder last week.

This week, as I had the stamps and inks out I decided to do two.

I've used the fabulous Touches of Texture stamp set, it has lots of beautiful images.

I limited my palette to Greens and Yellow and used

Tranquil Tide

Garden Green

Lemon Lime Twist

Pineapple Punch

Although I have made bookmarks from these, they could be cut in a different way to make card fronts or a scrapbook layout.

{Quick and Easy cards using One Sheet Wonder Technique}

One of the best selling and dearly loved stamp sets for a number of years is Lovely as A Tree.  Occasionally I have heard people bemoan that there hasn't been a die to cut the trees out.  Well in this years catalogue I was so excited to see a NEW stamp set with trees in, and much more, and with dies!  It's called Rooted in Nature, and is a HUGE set.  Perfect for beginner stampers as it has so much in it.

Here is a set of four cards that took less than 20 minutes to make from start to finish.  They are simply stamped and ready to put sentiments on as I need them.  They also fulfill the gap in most paper crafter's card collection - the masculine card!

Here is a video with the speeded up process.
