Have a Holly Jolly Christmas

Hi Bloggers.

I have a Christmas Card for you today -

The stamps and the dies do all the work on this one - great for batch making.

I cut the frame from Sue Wilson's Ornate Framed Holly Noel Die Set together with #8 die from Sue's Double Pierced Squares Set B Die Set out of Antique Copper Pearl Card. I popped it onto a card blank made from Coconut White Card (yes, it's a proper card - it opens and everything!).

I popped a little CS Flake & Glitter Glue onto a piece of Wax Paper and picked it up onto a piece of Cut n Dry Foam. I used this to 'ink' up the Holly Berry Frame Stamp. I stamped it onto a piece of Coconut White Card using the 3 second rule. If batch making, you can re-ink and stamp as many times as you like but you must clean your stamp as soon as you have finished. The glue will remain sticky until you put something on it - just make sure the cat doesn't sit on it! I added CS Harvest Moon Gilding Flakes and removed the excess with a piece of Rubit Scrubit. I cut it out using the plain square die from the same die set.

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Holly Jolly Sentiments Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card using Clear Perfect Medium and embossed with CS Ancient Copper Detail Embossing Powder. I cut it out using the smallest circle die in the same set and a copper mat using the stitched circle die from the same set.

Easy peasy!

Phill Martin is continuing with his One Day Special on Hochanda today with shows at 9am, 12noon, 4pm and 6pm (2 hours). I'm offering 10% discount on products I have in stock from the shows. You can find them here. Offer valid till midnight tonight or While Stocks Last. Discount will be applied at checkout.

There was a slight hiccup at CE HQ yesterday and my order of Sue's Dies did not get sent out to me so many apologies to those of you who have ordered already. I have been promised that they will come out to me today so I will be waiting at the door in the morning for my delivery man to arrive with them. I will process all the orders as soon as the dies arrive. Once again, many apologies for the delay - this time not my fault. Those of you who are following Sue's launch on her Blog and would like to order from me, you can find the dies and co-ordinating Stamps to Die For on my website here.

Thanks for stopping by.
