Light Up Christmas with Stampin Up

I found this cool tutorial here,

http://astampabove.typepad.com/my-blog/2012/10/easel-card-video.html

to make the card below.

I am going to keep this one for myself to use for my Christmas display

this year, I am getting a collection now.

But it is such a cool card that I think I will

be making more. It's not the ideal card to post but is cool

if you are seeing the recipient to give it personally.

I have used all my favourite things on this card from Stampin Up.

Vintage Style Stampin Up

My favourite style, Vintage.

Nothing says Vintage like pearls, a dress form, ribbon, lace,

embossed card and a vintage brad to finish off.

I love the layers, elements,texture and a little white space for interest.

All products are Stampin Up.

Be Thankful

I have alot to be thankful for, sometimes I get

caught up with life and forget this. So this week I have made a

few Thank-You cards to send off to people

that have helped me recently and a few just because.

Stampin Up Christmas Decoration Wreath

If you have a few hours to spare this is a great project to tackle.

I curled lots of pieces of patterned paper and attached them to a foam

wreath with pins. I suspended the sentiment in the middle of the wreath

using Whisper White Baker's Twine and hot glued the Cherry Cobbler

Tulle to the back so I could use it to hang my wreath.

For a few hours of your time you have made a beautiful Christmas

keepsake for your family or a beautiful Christmas gift.

You could omit the sentiment and place a candle or flowers in the center

and use as a center piece for the Christmas table.

Stampin Up Christmas Cards for the Troops

I thought I would share a few of the Christmas cards

I made to be sent off for Cards for the Troops,

see yesterdays post.

Some cards I made multiple of and others I had a ball

using my Stampin Up products and seeing what I

could come up with. It's good sometimes to sit and

create just because and this is a great excuse to do so.

All products are Stampin Up.

2012 Christmas Cards for the Troops

Here is a quick photo of the cards I have made to

post off to Karen to be sent on their way to our

men and women in the Australian armed forces.

I get so much enjoyment each year contributing

and get a lot of use out of my Christmas craft supplies.

Have a look at this link, you still have time to post

some cards off if you get the chance.
