Homemade Holiday Christmas

This was one of the contenders for my Christmas workshop but, while I do love it (especially the colours!), I decided it was just too high-maintenance for a stamp-a-stack situation. Not to mention that I didn’t have enough of the same DSP to go round!

I created this card before I bought the Crumb Cake and Cherry Cobbler Blendabilities, so coloured the house with Blender Pens and ink pads. As you can see, it’s a softer effect and more prone to blotching (less prone in more skilled hands, I’m sure!)  I stamped the trees onto different designs of DSP and then cut them out.

Finally, just a quick reminder that today is the last day to take advantage of the Stamp, Stock & Save promotion. Selected essentials are 15% off, while selected stamp sets are 20% off, so don’t miss out, click here for more details!

Holiday Home Christmas card

Yesterday was my Christmas in September workshop, and an opportunity to introduce the fabulous Autumn/Winter catalogue. 

Everybody made four projeccts, with the opportunity to make extras and bonus projects. At the end, I asked people to choose their favourite project – and this was the winner.

 It’s made using a fabulous bundle of stamps and dies, which lends itself brilliantly to Christmas cards, as well as being useful for round the year, too. I had fun playing with this set but decided to keep things pretty simple for the workshop, so that we didn’t run out of time. 

The award for the most innovative interpretation of this this went to Judie, who accidentally stamped her snowman upside-down!
