Christmas Sweaters

I don't usually post on a Tuesday but as promised i wanted to show you some of the new products from the Autumn / Winter catalogue.

This stamp set is called 'Christmas Sweaters' and comes with 6 different jumper designs and one stamp with the wording on.
You can simply stamp the images in your chosen ink colour or step it up a little and then colour them in using your markers. I chose just to colour the Santa hat in 'real red' to make it pop out against the 'night of navy' background.

I've used the gorgeous 'Cable knit' embossing folder to give detail to the background. It gives a really deep impression, perfect for those snug sweater looks. 

To the sentiment i added a couple of strips of washi tape in gold so it didn't all blend into the background too much.

I think cards made with these designs will be great for the festive season once everyone starts wearing their Christmas jumpers to the office!

When i first saw the 'Card Front Builder' thinlits die i must admit it didn't grab me straight away. I think i thought it looked like too much faff so i decided not to order it. Then i made that deadly mistake that most of us crafters do...i went on Pinterest!! Needless to say after spending half an hour (okay maybe 2 hours) browsing the cards made by some of my fellow demonstrators i was convinced i needed it too.  The design i have used was inspired by another Pinterest user 'Stamping Up North', I really liked the way they used the cut out trees to layer back onto the card so decided to make my own version. The background paper is from the 'Be Merry' designer series paper. I thought this particular sheet worked well with the 'Garden Green' and sprinkle of white looking like snow.  I ran a square of 'Whisper White' and the tree die though the big shot then used the cut out trees to mount over the top again but placed at differ

Blog Hop with the Simply Stylish Stampers!

Thank you for hopping over to my blog.  This is my first time joining in with a 'Blog Hop' and i'm delighted to be doing it with the other ladies from the 'Simply Stylish Stampers'. After being given a card making kit as a gift a few years back i found i really enjoyed creating projects. Later on i discovered Stampin Up and my love for papercraft has grown into what you might say is an obsession! My card today uses the fabulous NEW stamp set 'Wise Men From Afar' which is coming soon in the Autumn / Winter brochure. 'Star Of Light' and the coordinating thinlits dies also feature.  Taking a sheet of 'Night of Navy' cardstock i trimmed it down to 11 1/2 x 5 3/4. Then scored in half along the long side. 'Whisper White' cardstock measuring 5 x 5 inches. To create the night sky effect i used a combination of blue inks - 'Night of Navy', 'Tempting Turquoise' and 'Pacific Point'. You of cour
