Christmas Greetings from Santa

Greetings From Santa

Every once in a while a card comes along my Pinterest that is just beautiful and makes me go wow I need to make one of those so I can send it to ________!
This was one of those cards.
 

Julie DeGuia from thewaywestamp.com as part of a Global Design project gave me the inspiration for this card. I love how it and the envelope came up plus it was super easy to do.

 This is what you need to recreate this card.

ESAD 2017 Occasions Catalogue and Sale-a-bration Sneak Peek






Thank you for joining me from Rebecca's Blog or welcome to mine, you have landed on my page for our ESAD Sneak Peek of Sale-A-Bration 2017.
What's a Sneak Peek well let me shed some light - its a little snatch of some of the goodies we have created using the Stamps, Embellishments, Kits and or Accessories from the upcoming Occasion Catalogue.
I am so excited about the new Occasion Catalogue and the Sale-A-Bration goodies. With so many new things to love and today I am sharing just one with you but watch this space because there is more to come.
But first - 

I have decided to feature the Project Kit Birthday Bright and its coordinating Photopolymer Stamp set.
 

I couldn't help myself I started with the shaker cards as they are what first attracted me to this kit and they are smick. This is the back of the card as you pop it together before the magic happens - best bit there is a heap of that confetti so we can make heaps of others with our framelits coming in handy.



 
 
Tadah how good was that one now get a sticky at this beauty - I love the enamel shapes they are super cute.



The stamps that create this great cake icing feature make me think of some amazing backgrounds - mmmm watch this space!
 
 
I love the silver foil bunting of this cute card and its so easy to make. The Emerald envy stripes are pretty cool as well.I am rather partial to this colour.



This kit is great for beginners and advanced card makers, it includes the instructions for all the cards and tags in the kit. I have made one of each card keeping the rest ready to 'tweak' at a later date.

So what do you get in the 'Kit'?



How lovely is that box? I can see this as storing some great goodies for me. You get enough items to create 12 cards and 12 tags if you follow the instructions and you will have some extra bits to use for other projects as well. Its very good value and would make a lovely gift to get a beginner crafter started or for the advanced to tweak to their liking.

So what else do you need to make these cards? The stamp set is super helpful as well as inks and adhesives. The Stamp set is also called Birthday Bash and is a Photopolymer set.

 
Stampin' Up! trainer Brandi and her daughter Lily Jane, share some tips and tricks for the Birthday Bright Project Kit--a brand-new kit in the 2017 occasions (spring/summer) catalogue.

 
 
 
 
Want to see more visit again soon as I have loved playing with this stamp set and have some more great projects to share with you at a later date. Now pop on over to Leonie's Blog and see what goodies she has to share. Thanks for stopping by.

Hear the Sleigh Bells Ring?

Santa's Sleigh with his cutie pie reindeers on a great Z fold Card.
Using the same measurements from my previous Z fold card here this card came together beautifully.



The Santa's Sleigh Bundle has been very popular in my home and with my crafting buddies but I have just realised I didn't share it with the world. You will love this set - I've made some great teacher gifts with it as well.




 
 
 
Want to see more great project with this bundle or just some variety of colour check out Olga's Blog - she is in Texas whilst I'm all the way around the globe in Australia. Our Christmas weather is poles apart but our Christmas craft is similar.


So grab the measurements from HERE but tweak the colours and you will end up with these pieces. You will need that extra pieces of soft sky to fit the trees and sleigh and the extra of glimmer card and silver foil for the trees that the birthday card didn't have.
 

Then these are the score measurements the rest us placement of your bits and these can be wherever you like especially for the loaded sleigh.
 



What you will need to complete this card.
