Merriest Moments for Sunday Stamps 264

I liked the sketch at Sunday Stamps this week and used it for inspiration for one of the new Christmas sets in the July-December Mini Catalogue, Merriest Moments.

Merriest Moments has a matching die set, Merriest Frames, which in addition to outline dies for the stamped images, includes some of the most jaw-droppingly fabulous frames. However, it's such a lovely set that it's amazing all by itself, without the fancy add-ons. 😀

I've used some of the foliage stamps to create a background for a single poinsettia, embellished with a die cut centre piece and an In-Colour jewel.

The background DSP is from the Tidings of Christmas DSP stack. I embossed the panel, using Tasteful Textiles, for extra interest.

This simple and sweet card would be suitable for mass-production come Christmas time, although you could miss out embossing the DSP to speed it along even more.

Update: Delighted to be chosen as a Top Cup at Sunday Stamps.

Sunday Stamps 200

I've come very late to the Black Ice party but after watching Melissa Kerman's fantastic video on how to do this interesting technique, I just had to have a go! It left me with a couple of pieces of black-iced card and the sketch at Sunday Stamps provided a way to use one of them.

The close-up shows the cool cracked ice effect that is the hallmark of this technique.

Sunday Stamps 187

I've been playing around with Varied Vases a bit this week for two reasons. The first is that I haven't had it long and it kind of got left out once Christmas pre-order arrived, so it deserved some love. The second is that it's a featured set at this month's classes. When I saw the colour challenge at Sunday Stamps, I thought it was a great palette to use in my playing around.

The challenge was to use a minimum of three but I've used them all. For the bright red, Real Red. For the hot pink, Melon Mambo. For the light green, Mint Macaron. For the deep blue/green, Tranquil Tide and for the dark blue, Night of Navy.

I added in some of the new Chicken Wire elements. I sponged the white side in Mint Macaron before adding it, although it seemed a shame to put the silver side face down!

Perhaps difficult to see is the texture left on the white card front by the Subtle textured embossing folder. It's well named but the texture is adds is a wow in real life.

Thank you, Sunday Stampers, for a great colour combination!

And, of course, you can shop with me from anywhere in New Zealand by clicking any of the products pictured below or the SHOP NOW button in the sidebar of this blog or you can message me.

Note: The Tranquil Tide ribbon is a retired item.
