Playing with Christmas ideas

I spent some time playing around with various ideas and products with a friend over the weekend.  When I do this I tend to venture beyond my stock of Stampin' Up products and on this occasion I decided to see what I could do with some shimmer paper I have had in my cupboard for ages.

These cards are using the same basic technique and layout as in the Holiday Catalogue using the stamp set Joyous Celebrations.  The shimmer paper embossed beautifully and I was delighted with the results.

More to come from this play session as we ran lots of card and paper through the Big Shot using the Snow Flurry die.  I just have to get some cards made now.

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.
