On the Third day of Christmas my true love gave to me a starry "Christmas Classics" card

Hi everyone,

Sorry I haven't posted until now but I have been busy with dear friend who wanted to do some crafting today. Her daughter is my eldest daughters best friend and they are so gorgeous together.

Anyway here is my offering to you. I have used the Christmas Classics and just used the lovely star. This star is so versatile that it can be used for a lot of different cards - hmm I can see a male card coming up soon using it. Anyway... I stamped it in Versamark on the Baja Breeze cardstock and then stamped it again in Baja Breeze on Whisper White. I then stamped two stars in Real Red on a scrap of Whisper White and used the Star Punch to punch them out and popped them onto Dimensionals and then stuck them to the card. Finally I mounted the Whisper White onto a mat of Real Red and hey presto a quick and easy card. The card actually needed a sentiment so I went to Punch Pals and used my Real Red Stampn' Write to ink up one of the sentiments Merry Christmas. Punched it out using the Word Window Punch. The sentiment in turn needed a mat so I used my Square Scallop to create the mat you see. Hey Presto a Chrissy card done in approx 10 to 15 minutes.

'Til tomorrow

On the Second day of Christmas my true love gave to me a "Spot light on Christmas" square card

Here is the second of my 12 cards of Christmas. Whilst I have been blog hopping I have stumbled upon some very simple cards that look very effective. Unfortunately I can't remember the blogs but I thank you for your inspiration. Here in Australia we don't have the stamp set that this card has been inspired by but I had a thought and realised that the square stamp from "Spot light on Christmas" would work. I have basically just stamped 9 squares - 5 in Real Red and 4 in Old Olive and then punched them out with the 1 1/4" square punch. How easy but effective. No need to put a sentiment on it as there is no room and it would spoil the effect.

Materials Used (all Stampin' Up!)
Stamps: Spot light on Christmas
Card: Real Red, Old Olive, Whisper White.
Ink: Real Red, Old Olive

On the First day of Christmas my true love gave to me a "Tree Trimmings" Christmas Card

Welcome to my 12 cards of Christmas. I have been busy trying to work out what works, what doesn't and trying not to have too many of the same stamp set appearing.

So here is my first card made with the Tree Trimmings set (which unfortunately is only available to order until the end of this month). I have embossed all of the baubles and cut them out. The middle one has been popped onto a dimensional to bring it off the page.

Materials Used (all Stampin' Up!)

Stamps - Tree Trimmings and Best Yet (hostess level 1 gift)

Card - Night of Navy, Brocade Blue and Whisper White

Ink - Night of Navy, Versa Mark

Other - White Embossing powder, Gold Embossing powder, Large Oval Punch, Scallop Oval Punch, Dimensionals and Night of Navy Stampn' Write

Oops made a mistake

Hi everyone,

Just an amendment to my post yesterday about my classes for the Christmas Candles. I forgot I am unavailable on the 4th December in the evening. I have my team Christmas party with my wonderful upline Marelle  - I can't believe I forgot (sorry). The class in the morning is still on - if you need to bring children to attend a class during the day that is OK. My house is set up for kids!!!

I will let you know the correct date for the evening class shortly. Once again sorry.

Christmas Candles

Hi there,

Well I have decided to jump on the band wagon and have a play at creating some Christmas Candles. They are super easy to do and very effective. I am thinking, make a nice box put a candle in and hey presto you have a nice unique gift to give to teachers, neighbours even those hard to buy for Aunties!!! Whilst I think of it what a cool class to run next month. So why not join me on the 4th December for either the morning (10.30am to 12.30pm) or evening (7.30pm to 9.30pm). Cost is $15.00 including the candle. If you want to book in you know what to do. Email me at juleskraftikrafts@gmail.com. Places are limited to 8 so make your booking today.

Here is another view of the Snow Flake one (imagine my surprise when I realised that I could emboss it!!)
