Christmas cards are coming...

 Started off the Christmas season already...

these are a CASE from a card I received last Christmas from my upline Pauline.



These four are off to the Urban Crafters shop, George Street, Dunedin.
The card is our normal half A4 base size, but with a different fold to still fold flat 
and fit in a standard NZ envelope.

To Make:
cut your sheet of A4 in Half - LENGTHWISE
place this half with the LONG side at the top of your scoreboard,
and score at 2 3/4 inches, 5 1/2; 8 1/4 and at 11 inches.
this leaves a tab end of 7/8" to fold in to make the 'box'.

the decoration pieces are as follow:
Four pieces of Coloured cardstock 2 1/2 in by 3 7/8"
3 pieces of Patterned paper   2 1/4 in by 3 5/8
One piece of vanilla cardstock 2 1/4 by 3 5/8

You also need a scrap of vanilla to Gold emboss the greeting on
and another piece for the oval mount to put under the greeting.
Also two pieces of cardstock to use as Hinges behind the greeting.

Note, 6 x 6"  pieces of paper are not quite big enough to cut the 3 pieces,
so you could try 2 the same at the front and a different pattern on the back.

Add some rhinestones on the front, some ribbon if you have some,
and it's done.

Happy stampin'

It's coming around again...

 

Simply Christmas


All from the Holiday Catalogue at stampinup.com



Get a head start on your Christmas projects. Stampin' Up! have a suggestion
as you start planning: keep it simple. Obviously, keeping your crafting simple saves time. 
But simple projects can also be simply beautiful—clean, fresh, uncluttered. 
Whether you’re a beginning stamper looking for something uncomplicated
or an experienced stamper looking for something quick, you’ll love these projects!

To create these cards and the belly band for the Rectangle Tin, all you need
are stamps, ink, paper, and punches. Stamp, cut, adhere—that’s it!
Simple doesn’t mean boring, and these projects are evidence of that.
Designer Series Paper quickly adds colours and patterns,
and punched shapes add interest.
And because these projects are simple, it’s easy to make multiples.

Happy Stampin'

Flipping out over the Flip album...

 These cute Flip albums are a great way to share, or display, a moment in time.

This travel themed one I made a while ago, I decided to fill with photos from

my tripping around the world - lovely to look at while we are home-bound.





I decided to use photos of the People I travelled with or met along the way...
Some of the journaling can be added direct to the 'page' where the lighter coloured cardstock
allows, or you can add journaling spots over the patterned paper.

here are the earlier photos I took of the blank book...






I will be making more of these books in various Themes,
and posting them here on my Goods for Sale page...
if you have a WANT for one of your own, please contact me 
and I will be able to tailor it to your own theme,
happy stamping...
