Playing with Evergreen

I have spent quite a bit of time playing with one of the new stamp sets from the Holiday Catalougue called Evergreen.

This stamp set has a series of Christmas trees including a solid image, an outline image and an image that uses the words from Silent Night.

These are two of a series of cards I have made so far.  The first is a 'Z fold' card and I have used a combination of Old Olive card stock and the new Be of Good Cheer Designer Series Paper.  The tree on the front uses Old Olive ink for the background image and I have embossed the outline image with white embossing powder.  The image on the inside of the card is the one using the words from 'Silent Night'.


The second card uses Real Red, Whisper White and Basic Black card stock as well as a piece of acetate overlay.  I have stamped the outline image of the tree as a background and sparkled it up with Dazzling Diamonds.  I have then stamped the 'Silent Night' words onto the acetate with black StayzOn ink.  Lining the two trees up was a bit of a challenge but I was happy with the final result.

Back by Popular Demand

Each year I get asked about these two cards which we first made 2 or 3 years ago so I have decided to offer these cards as a Stamp-A-Stack (SAS) on Saturday 27 October from 2.00 pm - 5.00 pm.

Both cards use the largest tree in the Lovely As A Tree stamp set.  The first card uses Night of Navy card stock and Craft White Ink.  The second card is a combination of the new colour, Midnight Muse and Basic Black.  Both cards are sparkled up with Dazzling Diamonds so you can expect to go home sparkling with glitter.

Cost for the workshop will be $20.00 which will include all materials to make 4 of each of the cards with matching envelopes and afternoon tea.

If you are interested in joining us for this SAS please email me or give me a call on 04111 57969.

October Stamp-A-Stack

Our next Stamp-A-Stack (SAS) will be held on Saturday 13 October from 2.00 pm to 5.00 pm.

We will be making 8 cards with a Christmas theme.  We will be using the new stamp set, Joyous Celebrations to create our cards.  I have included an image of possible cards we might make on the day however, you are at liberty to put together any combination of the images in the Joyous Celebration set to create your cards.

Kits will be prepared to make four Riding Hood Red cards and four Old Olive cards and the embossed background image will also be prepared in advance.  After that it is up to you to put together whatever combination of designs you can create on the day.

Come along and join in the fun to see what people come up with.  You never know who will have the next great idea.

Cost for the SAS is $20.00 which includes all materials to make 8 cards with matching envelopes and a light afternoon tea.
