I’m offering a Christmas Card Kit by mail, consisting of most of the things you see in the picture, plus a few more things!  I estimate you can make over 50 cards with the kit. I have only included 20 envelopes, so you can buy more if you need to.

• 3 markers (suggest ruby red, old olive, and choc chip)                         
• glue pen                                            
• tub dazzlin diamonds                          
• sheet of dimensional (approx 100)       
• 1/4 pack of clear rhinestone brads (approx 20)
• 1/4 pack of silver or gold brads (approx 50)
• 10 pieces of A4 white or very vanilla cardstock
• 24 pieces of A4 coloured cardstock (suggest 6 ruby red, 6 old olive, 6 choc chip & 6 baja breeze)
• 3 sheets of Holiday Treasures Designer Series Paper (12 pieces 6 x 6)
• 20 Envelopes (very vanilla or whisper white)                 
• 1 metre hemp twine                             
• 2 metres ribbon 1/4 inch (suggest 1 metre of choc chip and 1 metre old olive)

All of this, for just $65. If you wish to order ink pads instead of the markers, it will cost $83.

 Here’s some examples I’ve made using “Snow Swirled”:

This is another card made from ‘Hung up on the holidays’ stamp set (RRP $29.95) with real red, tempting turquoise, and silver. The salutation is from the level 1 hostess set “So Many Sayings”.

I’ve created this Christmas card using all stampin up punches! I got the idea from browsing many different forums and ideas, and now I can’t find the person I need to credit with the idea. If you know who it was, please leave a comment, and I’ll gladly leave their link, so you can see the original!

Cardstock: Close to cocoa, chocolate chip, real red, very vanilla, black

Punches: 13/8″ circle, 1″ circle, 1/2″ circle, horizontal tab, large and small word windows, corner rounder, cropodile (for the eyes), crystal effects (for the antlers) and retired gold thread (for the legs).

Hope you like it! I think it’s cute!

This idea has been in my head for a while.. tonight I finally put it together. Not sure if it’s as good as I imagined.. but I think it’s ok. Firstly I silver embossed a number of swirly images, then I cut them out using the 1 3/8″ circle punch. I used a 3/4″ circle stamp and then folded the punched circles in half to make the top of each bauble. The ribbon is linen thread. Colours: pure pomegrante, handsome hunter, black, whisper white and vanilla.

I’m starting to play with christmas cards, what about you?

 The first one is using the stamp set “Festive Favourites” (RRP $45.95 set of 6 stamps), with the pure pomegrante, old olive and whisper white card stock, inks are whisper white, basic black and versamark. Firstly I inked the snow flake stamp with whisper white and applied it to 2/3rds of the pure pomegrante. This then needs to leave dry for at least an hour (it’s a craft ink). Ink the raindeer/xmas tree/snowmen stamp with versamark onto the old olive (versamark makes a ‘watermark’ which appears slightly darker than the cardstock you are using). Ink the same big stamp in basic black, then colour in certain parts of the stamped image with watercolour crayons (or chalks) using blender pen or aqua painter, then use the two circle punches 1 3/8″ and 1 1/4″, using the smaller punch for the highlight window on top, and then blank alternating card stock underneath. Attach the punched circles by raising them with dimensional spots to raise them off the page. Put all together, and last of all stamp ‘merry christmas’ or similar greeting. This ‘merry christmas’ stamp is available in the stamp set “Many Merry Messages” RRP: $64.95 for a set of 8 versatile xmas stamps.

The next two cards are really simple, and created using the stamp set “Crazy for Christmas” (RRP $39.95 set of 4 stamps), card stock from the ‘bold brights’ range (real red and tempting turquoise), real red ink, and of course the 2 way glue pen (RRP $6.50) and Dazzlin’ diamonds (glitter) RRP $8.50). I’ve stamped the images twice, then cut around certain images and raised them up using dimensional dots (RRP: $7.50 for approx 300). Hope you like them!
