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.

Rockin Card

I made this card for my son's Birthday.

I used a retired Stampin Up stamp set.

He has a collection of guitars so this

set fit the bill.

He passed his Learner's license on his Birthday.

I was worried about him sitting the test on his actual

Birthday, incase he didn't pass and that would have

put a downer on the day but it all went to plan.

Triple Time Stampin with Stampin Up

I was inspired to try this technique when I saw

the beautiful card that Denise had made,

It's cool to try something different and challenge your mind.

I like the Christmas card the best.

I have been busy preparing and organizing for the Christmas, all day

craft event I am holding next month.

I will share with you the projects closer to the date.

The last few months since discovering how to make

Soy Wax candles and experimenting I have had

so much fun making the candles.

Here is another haul of new and vintage glass awaiting

the soy wax to be poured.

Not the flat dish, i have plans for that one.

October Stamp Club

This month we made a bunch of kids Birthday cards at Stamp Club.

I love the Stampin Up Designer Series Polka Dot Paper,

it's bright, colourful and adds a little something special.

We used Stampin Up Moving Forward stamp set.

We also made two Christmas cards, very simple but would

be a great design if you needed to make alot of the same card

or if you leave your Christmas cards to the last minute.
