Delightful Decorations ......

This is a set of cards I have just made for my Sister, I have used my favourite traditional Christmas colours.

I have used a selection of Christmas papers from the Christmas Jingle scrap booking kit (perfect for cards as well!!) and the new Jolly Holiday papers, with some whisper white taffeta ribbon and very vanilla grosgrain ribbon.  The colours are Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler (the most beautiful deep red!) You will also see some of the new gems and pearls on these cards as Stampin' Up! now sell them in packs - the gems are certainly more sparkly than any others I have tried before!!

I have used 2 stamp sets, Delightful Decorations and Contempo Christmas, and of course the fabulous new bauble punch!!!  It is perfect for making quick cards like this as there is no cutting - simply stamp, punch and add a dimensional!!!  All of the punches from Stampin' Up! are a new flat locking design, making them perfect for stacking and saving precious storage space.

My Launch Party

I have had a really busy week preparing for my new Stampin' Up! catalogue launch party on Friday night.  I had a lovely time, and would like to thank everyone who came along!!

This is the card everyone made using the new clear mount Contempo Christmas stamp set.

The colours are Rich Razzleberry, Pretty in Pink and Melon Mambo.  There is a fabulous new punch that fits the bauble stamp, making this a perfect choice if you have a lot of cards to make up!! I used the paper piercing tool  to decorate the corners of this card.

I will be drawing the winner of my prize draw from Friday night later tonight.  I have given 1 ticket for every £10 spent  on the night for the chance to win some Stampin' Up! products.
