It’s nearly November which means it’s almost time for a new release of Online Exclusives from Stampin’ Up!®

Christmas card ideas with Christmas Classics and Merry Melody

 

It’s October, which means Christmas cardmaking has begun in earnest. A local Women’s Institute group were the first to get a full-on Christmas card class, and we made two cards using the Christmas Classics stamp set from the Stampin’ Up!® September-December Mini Catalogue, and Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder, from the current Stampin Up!® annual catalogue. 

Fragrant Forest and Grassy Grove in a gorgeous autumnal colour combination

 I have a colour combination for you today, and a card which blends the brand new Fragrant Forest background stamp with a Stampin’ Up!® old favourite, Grassy Grove.

Are these the easiest Christmas cards ever?

 

Do you have no time for crafting at the moment? Or maybe your mojo has gone walkabout? I'm hearing both of these issues from many of my Stampin’ Up!® customers and friends.

In fact, thanks to a new job and the commitment of rehabilitating a rescue dog, I barely have any crafting time for myself either.

Undeterred, I decided to throw some quick Christmas cards together at the weekend to show you how quick and easy making cards can be. 

October Mood Board card ideas using Christmas Classics and Inked & Tiled from Stampin’ Up!®

Happy October! It’s a new month of new ideas from me, with the latest in my Mood Board series of Stampin’ Up!® projects. Please keep reading to see two projects I made using this board as my starting point.

I created this October Mood Board to inspire myself, my Stampin’ Up!® UK customers and team. But crafters everywhere can be inspired by the colours and/or images on the mood board – what will you make?

The colours on the mood board are Daffodil Delight, Shaded Spruce, Pretty Peacock, Calypso Coral and Real Red but, as always, use the nearest you have, or some, all or none of these colours. It really is just a jumping-off point.

Using two very different Stampin’ Up!® stamp sets – Christmas Classics and Inked & Tiled – I created two projects; one for Christmas and one for every day, to illustrate the broad range of projects which could be inspired by the mood board.
