Santa's Sleigh Christmas Reindeer Greeting Card.

Squeal its getting closer are you ready yet - I love Christmas and get super excited once I start seeing the decorations go up in the shops - hubby on the other hand!

I usually make my Christmas cards all the same all in one go like a bi production line but not this year. This year I have been having regular Stamp a Stacks with 3 of the cards being Christmas cards so 30 of mine are already done - only 70 more to go - wow I think I had better get a shuffle on! I think I need to do a heap of this one because I just love it and know my friends will also.

I love the set Santa's Sleigh and have got a heap of use from it over this and last year. My ladies also love it because of the versatility of the set especially with the matching Framelits.

I used the 'Eat Drink and be Merry' from the Merry Little Labels set in the Holiday catalogue for the inside.

Holly Jolly Layers

Last one for the 2016 Holiday catalogue.
This beauty was for my Boss at my 'other job' well my life career job - chosen fresh out of high school and now I have over 20 years service up! I do love it and if you ask my kids what I do they will tell you I catch babies!
I am a midwife at the local hospital and whilst I don't catch many babies anymore as I work on the postnatal ward I do love being a Midwife.

I used the Holly Jolly Layers Hostess set for this card and the Merry Medley Background stamp.
To make the background stamp stand out I clear embossed on shimmer paper and it looked very stylish indeed. Under the Real Red Stitched Edge Ribbon there was a piece of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper so it sparkled even more.

Have a beautiful creative day my friends far and wide.

ESAD 2016 Holiday Catalogue Favourite Products Blog Hop

Thanks you for joining me - if you have hopped here from Nerida's Blog I hope you are liking what you have seen so far. If you have found me by shear luck welcome this is a great time to pop in and you are most welcome to hop through the other Stampin' Up! Demonstrators linked to this hop and see what one of their favourite Catalogue products are.

Christmas is coming and as much as I am looking forward to the next Occasions Catalogue I would love to share with you these cards I made with what is now another of my favourite stamp sets.

When sitting down trying to decide what set was my favourite and needed a special feature on this Blog Hop I had a lot of difficulty - I love so many of the sets and I am still buying them for my personal stash.

Don't you just love the DSP - yep made it myself. Here is a closer photo of them.

Can you see our new Stitch Framelits there? Its a bit hard on the computer screen so here is a close up just of those .

The ribbon, the Washi and most of all the sentiment how great are they? The insides are decorated as well just because I can. Oh and that envelope with that little bit of Washi screams - I am not a Bill I am Happy Mail!

These are the colours I used - picked just because I love Crushed Curry and thought they went well together.

Real Red

Cucumber Crush

Crushed Curry

Now the kids want a heap for their friends! I may have created a monster job for us because they can make their own cards now.

So because I did a whole sheet of DSP I had a bit left over after I made my cards I made some tags. I make Christmas cakes for some people in the community each year as well as my family. These little tags will pop onto the ribbon beautifully and that sentiment sums it up nicely.

How did these cards start? Well I was getting ready for my December daily attempt (yep I am going to try again this year to do it so wish me luck). I have my album, both the Hello December 2016 Project Life Card Collection and Accessory Pack, a massive list of titles to cut out and even some planned photos. I have even made some extra little cards to pop into the pockets - you know those just because I can ones!
The green in the kit and the album is Emerald Envy but I love Cucumber Crush so I will make it work and who says we have to follow whats already started.

Just for my reference as I am building a Pinterest board of Stamps fitting into their cases - you know some are a super tight fit! Its a bit like playing Tetris every time so I'm saving photos. This ones not to bad or should I say not to squeezy!
