Bright & Beautiful
This week in my Facebook Live I shared some cards I created using the Season of Elegance Suite. Today I have another card to share using some of these products. I cut a piece of the Season of Elegance 12″ x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper and attached it to Gold Foil card. The whole panel is attached to scored and folded Cherry Cobbler card.
I stamped the greeting from the Peaceful Season stamp set onto Basic White card using Cherry Cobbler ink. I cut out the greeting using one of the Peaceful Season Dies. I threaded a length of Cherry Cobbler & Gold Satin Ribbon through the die cut before attaching the whole piece of the card front using dimensionals. To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped the row of trees image from the Peaceful Evergreen stamp set onto Basic White card using Old Olive ink.
I stamped the greeting from the Peaceful Season stamp set underneath the trees using Cherry Cobbler ink. This is a relatively simple card which I created using Template Two which can be found on page 22 of the Annual Catalogue. I especially love how gorgeous the Cherry Cobbler and Gold paper is , don’t you. Well if you check out this Designer Series Paper you will find that one side of each sheet is loaded with Gold Foil. In fact my one regret is that I didn’t have any Gold Embossing Powder to use to create my greeting on the front of the card. (Don’t worry, it has been ordered now!).

Frosted Christmas
My card today uses the Frosted Forest stamp set, dies and decorative masks. I embossed a piece of Basic White card using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. I created two small and one large tree using the masks, a blending brush and Old Olive ink. Each layer just added more depth to the colour without using darker or lighter greens. The trees are cut out using the co-ordinating Frosted Forest Dies.
I attached one small tree and the large tree to the left hand side of the embossed Basic White card. The second small tree is attached using dimensionals. I stamped “Merry Christmas” using the Greetings of the Season stamp set onto Basic White card using Old Olive ink. I cut out the greeting using the scallop die from the Unbounded Love Dies. I cut Old Olive card using the decorative oval and attached it arround the stamped greeting.
The greeting is attached to the upper right hand side of the page without dimensionals. I used the decorative masks, a blending brush and old olive ink to add a small tree to the lower left hand corner of Basic White card. I stamped “& Happy New Year” from the Greetings of the Season stamp set onto the Basic White panel using Old Olive ink. I love how Christmas this is and that using the one colour gave me more of an Aussie Christmas tree. I’d love to know what you think.

Happy Times
Recently I shared this layout with you that I created using a tutorial I purchased from Julie Carrier on her You Tube channel. Today I have another layout from the tutorial to share with you. This page shows off some photos taken at Tin Can Bay back in 2014.
This page again uses the Frames & Flowers 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper which as you know comes with some ephemera sheets which have been used to create the decoration on the page. I also used one pattern from the Country Woods 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper as well.
The tags are cut using the Greetings of the Season Dies and I have added bows created using Linen Thread and some bling using the Ombre Matte Decorative Dots. The title was part of the workshop and printed onto Basic White card. I am so happy with these pages and love how using Julies cutting guide uses just about all the paper on the three layouts. I am really enjoying all the creativity that is being shared by the previous Close to My Heart Makers who are now Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators.

This week in my Facebook Live, I shared some cards I created using the Hang an Ornament Bundle. Today I have another card to share with you. For this card, I stamped the greeting from the Peaceful Season stamp set onto the lower right hand corner of Basic White card using Mossy Meadow ink. I cut Mossy Meadow card using the largest square from the Stylish Shapes Dies and attached it to the top of the stamped Basic White card.
I attached a piece of Iconic Celebrations 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper down the left hand side of the Basic White card before attaching the whole panel to scored and folded Mossy Meadow card. I stamped the ornament image from the Hang an Ornament stamp set onto Basic White card using Mossy Meadow ink. I cut out the image using the 2nd largest square from the Stylish Shapes Dies.
I cut the ornament border panel from Mossy Meadow card using the Hang an Ornament Die. I attached the stamped panel to the card front using dimensionals. I tied a bow in a length of Silver Trim from the Gold & Silver 1/8″ Trim Combo Pack and attached it to the top of the ornament using a Glue Dot. To decorate the inside of the card, I attached a narrow strip of the same Iconic Celebrations Designer Series Paper down the left hand side of Basic White card. I stamped the greeting onto the Basic White panel using Mossy Meadow ink. The greeting is actually two greetings combined from the Peaceful Season Stamp Set. This is such a fun bundle to play with, don’t you think. I can’t wait to hear what you think.

I attached a piece of Shy Shamrock card over the right hand side of the Designer Series Paper. Lastly I attached a piece of Peach Pie In Colour Designer Series Paper over the top of both pieces of paper/card. I cut Basic White card using one of the Deckled Rectangle Dies and stamped the solid candle image from the Iconic Imagery stamp set several times using Summer Splash ink.

Love This Day
When I got home from my little break away in August/September I couldn’t wait to try the Enjoy The Ride Workshop Kit which was waiting for me. This is one of the Close To My Heart Workshop Kits which are available for purchase while stocks last. The kit comes with enough product and instructions to create three double page layouts with some left overs. I followed the cutting instructions and put together the three layouts without photos.
The kit comes with photo place holders, so you can mark the spot and come back when you have photos to suit the page. This is the first layout I finished and the second layout in the Enjoy The Ride Workshop Kit. I used some photos of a visit to Noosa North Shore taken quite few years ago, which I think work well with the papers, don’t you.
I didn’t use exactly the same stickers and die cuts on my layout and I did move the banners from the right hand side to the left hand side of the second page. I think it looks nice having the banners meet in the middle. I am so happy with the finished layout and I look forward to sharing the other two layouts with you in the future. If you love scrapbooking and are looking for some inspiration, I can’t recommend these kits highly enough. Please let me know what you think.
Bye for now,
Kris

Warm Wishes
This week in my Facebook Live I shared some cards using the Surfing Santa stamp set from the new September to December Mini Catalogue. For this card I cut a piece of Poppy Parade card with a “v” in one end and attached it to Basic White card. I stamped the greeting from the Surfing Santa stamp set onto the lower right hand corner using Azure Afternoon ink. I embossed the whole panel using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder before attaching it to scored and folded Azure Afternoon card. I cut Basic White card using the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies.
I used a Blending Brush to add Azure Afternoon ink to the circle before stamping the “surf” image from the Surfing Santa stamp set twice onto one half of the circle using the same ink. I stamped the santa image from the Surfing Santa stamp set onto Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I coloured the image using Dark Daffodil Delight, Dark Poppy Parade, Light Azure Afternoon, Ivory, Dark Lemon Lime Twist and Dark Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends. I cut out the image and attached it onto the coloured circle. The image panel is attached to the card front using dimenaionals To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped another greeting from the Surfing Santa stamp set onto Basic White card using Azure Afternoon ink.
I stamped the “sand” image from the Surfing Santa stamp set three times onto the lower left hand corner of the Basic White card using Crumb Cake ink. I stamped the shell image from the Surfing Santa stamp set three times onto Basic White card using Crumb Cake ink. I coloured the image using the Light Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blend before cutting out the shells. I attached the shells over the stamped “sand”. I love how bright & happy this card is and this Santa certainly fits our hot summer Christmas.

Thinking of You
Today I had a play with the Leaf Collection stamp. This is so much fun to play with to create lots of different styles of card. Today I stamped the Leaf Collection image three times onto Basic White card, once using Lemon Lime Twist, once using Granny Apple Green and once using Old Olive ink. I cut all of the leaf images out by hand, not a quick job, but I did watch the telly whilst I was doing it. I used the stamp as a quide to arrange the leaves in each of the colours to create my layout. I used a piece of Press’n’Seal to pick up the leaf images and attached dimensionals to the back of each image.
The leaves were attached to a piece of Basic White card before trimming the edges. I attached the Basic White panel to Lemon Lime Twist card, then Granny Apple Green card and then scored and folded Old Olive card.
I stamped “thinking of you” from the Simply Said stamp set onto Basic White card using Old Olive ink. I used the smallest rectangle die from the Everyday Details Dies to cut out the greeting before attaching it to the card front (I did cut it twice to make sure that the banner was tight around the greeting). To decorate the inside of the card, I attached one of the leaves to the lower right hand corner of Basic White card, trimming where necessary. I stamped the greeting from the Simply Said stamp set onto the card using Old Olive ink. I love how this card turned out, definitely worth the effort. I’d love to hear what you think.
