Let it Snow

Hi Bloggers.

Another Christmas Card today - sorry if I'm bombarding you with Christmas at the moment. I am frantically trying to get samples made for my demo at Colemans in Rushden on Saturday. It a Sue Wilson Christmas Dies demo this time so I have to make a whole new set of samples! No time to do anything else!

Here's today's card -

For the background, I ran a piece of Coconut White Card through the Grand Calibur with the Creative Expressions Snowflake Lattice Embossing Folder and inked around the edges with Stonewashed Adirondack Dye Ink using a Smoothie.

I cut the tree, star and tree stand out of Coconut White Card using Spellbinders Stylized Trees Die Set (there are 3 trees in this set as well as some bits and bobs).

I cut some spotty paper from my stash using Spellbinders 5 x 7 Matting Basics B. I cut a mat out of Cobalt Card (I would haved used 5 x 7 Matting Basics A to do this but it has gone missing in my Craft Room! lol).

I cut the lovely corner flourish die from the Spellbinders 5 x 7 Holly Frame Die Set (the one I used in yesterday's post) and inked through the die with Stonewashed ink.

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Peace on Earth Clear Stamp Set using Cobalt Archival. I cut it out using Spellbinders Holly Tags Die Set.

I assembled the card as shown adding some White 8mm Pearls and piercing around the edges.

As many of you may know, John Lockwood, has just released some more Clear Stamp Sets. I have them on order and hopefully they will arrive in the next day or so and I can get them onto my website. I do already have his 8 x 8 Paper Pad in stock here.

Phill's latest collection of colours - Frosty ones, and his new 8 x 8 Paper Pad are in stock here. I am waiting for my Frosty colours to arrive and will make some samples when I get them. I do have Phill's latest Christmas stamps in stock in this section here.

I have some lovely ribbon in stock that I have cut into lengths for you to make it more affordable, including Two-tone ribbon, Sheer Iridescent Ribbon (we used to call it Cosmic Ribbon) and Vintage Ribbon - in this section here. There's not much of the Christmas Red Sheer Iridescent Ribbon and none left in the warehouse so be warned!

All for now.

Thanks for stopping by.
