Mostly Flowers Christmas Card – Design II
Christmas without using a Christmas stamp can be hard, however I challenged myself again by looking through my stamp sets to see what I could find and mostly flowers stuck out again.
I love this stamp set becuase it is so simple yet elegant and can go with anything. We made this card in our stamp a stack classes on Thursday nights.
I can’t believe it is nearly December which means I need to start writing in the cards rather than stock piling them!!!!
Stamps: Season of Joy, Mostly Flowers, So Many Sayings (Hostess Set)
Inks: Whisper White Craft Ink
Card/Paper: Dashing Designer Series Paper, Old Olive, Real Red
Greetings Galore Christmas

As December is just around the corner I thought I would post a few more Christmas cards we have been making at my Thursday night card class.
I have had these cards photographed for quite a while however just not got around to downloading to my computer, so rest assured that in the coming days I will be posting quite a few different bits and pieces.
This card was made using the ‘Greetings Galore’ stamp set which has been around in the Australian catalogues since Stampin’ Up! started in Australia. It is a great stamp set that can be used for all year round.
Ink: Old Olive
Stamp Sets: Greetings Galore
Card: Confetti Cream, Old Olive, Real Red, Dashing Designer Series Paper
Punches: Corner Rounder, Paper Piecing Tool
Ribbon: Very Vanilla Grosgrain

Live Your Dream

Well the title of this one happens to be the name of the stamp set used which is in the New Summer Mini Catalogue which should be the in the post by the end of the week. For those of you interested in recieving a mini catlogue just send me an email and I will post you one.
However the reason I have used this title is becuase the jar that I have decorated is for a close family friend who has just finished her HSC and is about to embark on another exciting part of her life. She will be going to Tocal Agricultural College (which is up near Maitland) to study a Diploma in Agriculture (at least I think that is what she is studying) she will be moving out of home for the first time and my husband and I thought we would give her a few practical items to start her on her way, one of which was this jar with some $1 coins ready to be used on one of her first loads of washing!!! Rather exciting.
Sarah we wish you all the best next year and hope you can ‘Live your Dreams!!!’ and look back on your experiences in a few years time as positve fun ones!!!
Stamp Set: Live your Dreams

My Only Stamp Set
I am sure you have all realised by now that ‘Season of Joy’ is my only Christmas Stamp set, however over the next few days I will show you some more Christmas cards made from stamps sets that are not Christmas themed at all and can be used throughout the year for different themed cards.
Todays card is another ‘Season of Joy’ Christmas card, using the ‘In Colors’ for 08 which I really do like, especially Purely Pomegranate. I have dipped the brad into some glitter to give it a little sparkle and I have used vellum for the flower.
Stamp: Seaon of Joy
Ink: Purely Pomegranate, Whisper White
Card: Vellum, Blue Bayou, River Rock, Purely Pomegranate, Wild Wasabi
Ribbon: Double Stiched Purely Pomegranate
