As promised here are the samples of the Christmas projects we made last weekend. The colour combo I choose was inspired by the new SU Christmas paper Jolly Holly and teams Old Olive, Very Vanilla and Cherry Cobbler (a beautiful rich red). The first card uses the tree from Contempo Christmas and to make the two tone effect I have stamped in Old Olive and then used a tissue to remove ink from the pot and the star, then simply used a marker to add the Cherry colour - this technique is really easy when you have the Stampin' Write Markers. Also on this card I have used Old Olive Satin ribbon, the pretty Eyelet Border punch and the greeting sits on the groovy Modern Label punch.
Next up is a square card that uses the large flourish from Baroque Motifs to act as the bush/tree from which your ornaments hang. The 4 ornaments in the Delightful Decorations set (plus one from Contempo Christmas) perfectly match the large Ornament punch. Everyone at my workshop was so excited when they found out there was no need to cut out the decorations - just punch away! This card is finished off with a touch of Versamarking and a big bow using Wide Groosgrain Striped ribbon
And finally this set makes some cute tree ornaments, a little set of 3 or 4 would make a cute, simple and economical Chrissy gift.
If you're thinking about getting started on some Chrissy cards or gifts and not sure where to start, or you need to top up supplies, give me a hoy and I'll try to help as much as I can. Don't forget SU has a great Christmas special on now until the 30 November where you get a free spool of ribbon when ordering a stamp set bundle. My email is cazza74@iinet.net.au or just give me a bell 0408 472 510
Have a great week
Love Caz xx
