Beautiful Season Boxed Set
Today I wanted to share with you the project I created for the last round of Stampin’ Fun and Friends which was all about cards for the holidays.
I created four cards using the Beautiful Season stamp set. I love the vintage feel of these cards. The combination of the Early Expresso Core’dinations card and the new In-colours is really lovely.
The Labels Collection Framelits as well as a little bit of paper piercing adds something extra special to the cards.
I have added the tutorial for this set to my Tutorials For Sale page (only $2.50). It will soon be time for another round of Stampin’ Fun and Friends, I will let you know the details when they are available.
Bye for now, Kris.

Merry Christmas from Stampin’ Up!
Yesterday I received an email from Stampin’ Up! entitled Merry Christmas. It contained a link to a Youtube video. I thought you might like to see this fun message from Shelli Gardner and the team at Stampin’ Up! Salt Lake City.
Enjoy.

First Edition Snowman & Ornament
This project at Craft Project Central by Carrie Rhodes is absolutely gorgeous. I love our Newsprint DSP and can’t wait to make my own Snowman for my Christmas Display.
The gorgeous ornament made from the same DSP is super cut too. It’s a great variation on the ornament on the front cover of the Holiday Mini but uses some punches instead of the ornament framelits. Take a visit to Carrie’s blog to let her know how much you love her work.
Remember if you would like the tutorial for these projects, just subscribe to the December Edition of Craft Project Central – 10 projects for $10.00. Amazing value.

Christmas Party
On Saturday I had a Christmas Party/Luncheon/GetTogether with my downline and my most loyal customers and hostesses. The weather was kind to us, not too hot and no rain, so we were able to spend time outside in the fresh air. Some of these ladies have been my customers since I joined back in 2007.
These ladies really spoilt me with some lovely gifts, lots were hand made. There were also lots of chocolate and beautiful edible gifts.
These are the gifts I made for my downline.
I used various Stampin’ Up! fabrics to make each of them a wine holder and of course I had to add a bottle of wine. I also made each one a decorated candle with a “plate” for them to sit on. I just love that beautiful tulle.
The gifts I made for my customers were shared with us at the Brisbane Regionals by Ruth Clarke. I took one of the Kraft Boxes which you can find in the Annual Catalogue and cut them in half. I add in a strip of Window Sheet which I embossed using the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder. This allowed me to add quite a large bag of choccies for each of the ladies. The top box holds a wooden flower which is infused with the most gorgoeus aroma and something I thought would add a nice touch to each of their homes. I did add a little Designer Series Paper to the sides of this box.
I made a belly band from the 7/8″ Cotton Ribbon in the Holiday Mini. To make sure it didn’t come apart, I used Sticky Strip and then added a couple of staples. I made a rosette from Early Expresso card, added a stamped Christmas Tree from the Joyous Celebrations stamp set and a Cherry Cobbler 1-3/4″ Scallop Circle. I punched a 1-3/4″ Circle from Cherry Cobbler card and attached it behind the ribbon and then using Sticky Strip stuck the medallion to the top of the 1-3/4″ Circle, so the whole thing can be removed to allow access to the contents of the boxes.
All in all it was a fabulous day. I love spending time with these ladies who are now all really good friends.
I am taking a little break from classes so that I can get prepared for the New Year. Hopefully I will be able to update my Classes page and you will be able to see the dates and what is coming up.
Don’t worry I will be back from time to time with the things I have been making.
Bye for now, Kris.
