Can you believe it’s almost time for the next Occasions & Sale a Bration Catalogues to be released?

If you’ve purchased from during September, October or November, you’ll automatically be put on my mailing list.  I’ll be ordering these in December, I’ll post them straight out to this group.

If you haven’t purchased from me during that time (and there’s still time in November), you can request one in January.

Here’s a peek at the covers.  The catalogues go live early January.

Get Nailed – Nail Wraps

A couple weekends ago I had a play with a Salt Technique.  There’s a few video’s on my Facebook Page, if you want to check them out.  This is the one that DIDN’T work!  I decided use the Limited Edition Happiness Surrounds Stamp Set.  And I kept it pretty simple.

The background is created on Watercolour Paper using Bermuda Bay and Lemon Lime Twist Ink.  And now, as I’m typing this up, I’ve realised I used Granny Apple Green card! Doh!!

Anyway..I then stamped the Medalion from Happiness Surrounds in Versamark and White Embossed.  Then using the Snowfall Thinlits, I cut one one of the flowery dies from Granny Apple Green, and a detailed die from Bermuda Bay.  I painted the GAG with Wink of Stella so it shimmers from behind.

Happy Birthday is from the Sunshine Sayings Set, white embossed on Berumda Bay card.  Topped off with a handful of Rhinestones, and I’m done.

Even though I spent some time on the background (it was more waiting to dry time), I’ve kept the stamping itself pretty simple.

We’re nearly half way through the month, which means that you only have just over two weeks to grab this set and die if you want them.

I’m moving onto the Happiness Surrounds Stamp Set next, I promise!  But here’s another Snowflake Showcase card or 2.  It’s 2 actually!

I did CASE this one from Pinterest.  Changed it up a little, but it’s pretty much the same.  The original was Black and a Neutral, but I wanted mine a little more traditional Christmas.

As with the previous cards, I’ve used Cherry Cobber and Tranquil Tide, with Granite Grey and Whisper White.

Pretty simple but effective I think.

Card Recipe:

• Snow is Glistening Stamp Set
• Snowfall Thinlits
• Snowflake Trinkets
• Cherry Cobbler, Tranquil Tide, Granite Grey, Whisper White Card
• Joyous Noel Glimmer Paper
• Cherry Cobbler, Tranquil Tide, Whisper White Ink
• Rhinestones

I know, I know, many people don’t like to use Snowflakes for Christmas here in Australia, but I feel justified to use them, because we had HAIL yesterday!!  And I’m rugged up in my warm Alaska Incentive Trip Jacket!!  Brrrrr!

Plus the Snowflake Thinlits are super pretty!!

And.. I also wanted to show you the Embossing Mats!  Do you have one yet, did you even know they existed in the Annual Catalogue?

The Embossing Mat will turn any of your Dies, Thinlits and Framelits to look like you’ve used an Embossing Folder.  Gives them all a whole new lease on life for just $26!!

I’ve embossed the large snowflake here on a Thick Whisper White card base, then topped it with a glittery snowflake.

The card below uses a smaller snowflake thinlit so you can see more of the embossed image behind it.

And..here’s a close up of the card, so you can see all the detail of the embossing.

If you haven’t checked out the mat yet, you should!

Card Recipe:

• Thick Whisper White
• Snowfall Thinlits
• Merry Christmas To All Stamp Set
• Joyous Noel Glimmer Paper
• Tranquil Tide/Cherry Cobbler Ink
• Stamparatus
• Frosted & Clear Epoxy Droplets

 

Don’t forget that the products in the Snowfall Showcase are ONLY available during November and are while stocks last.  The best part is that you can purchase the products individually, no bundles this time!

I missed my last Blog Hop!  And even tho this theme was a bit of challenge for me, I made it!!  Welcome to The Artful Stampers Blog Hop.

This round Anna set the theme of an Aussie Christmas.

I don’t really have any Aussie Christmas stamp sets, so I went for the Kangaroo from the Animal Outings stamp set, and put a Santa hat on her!  I always want to say ‘him’ but boy Kangaroo’s don’t have a pouch, now do they?!

The hat has been cut from Santa in Signs of Santa.  It doesnt really fit the Kangaroo properly, but you can still see a tiny bit of her ears, which I think is cute.

The paper is from the Dashing Along DSP which you might remember from the Hostess Promotion.. It’s now available to purchase for $19.25 as these items are now only while stocks last

147816: Joyous Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper
147890: Festive Farmhouse Elements
147811: Santa’s Workshop Enamel Elements

You can’t see it on the photo, but I’ve used Wink of Stella on the Santa Hat, and also on all the Cherry Cobbler stripes on the paper.  It’s very sparkly!

On our next Blog Hop Stop, we are heading over to Nicole Wilson’s Blog

Hey Everyone!  Today I have a Signs of Santa Card 3 Ways for you.  They’re the same card with the same pieces, but different!

This is the first one I created.  I actually saw a card on Pinterest and love the layout.  It was not Christmas at all, but a floral card.  I did change it a little to suit my supplies.

When I was working on the first card, I had all my pieces piled up ontop of each other, I thought it looked pretty good so I assembled it as it was.  Result – a crooked card!

In my Facebook Live, I didn’t have the Dotty paper, so I’ve used solid Poppy Parade and embossed it instead.  I think it still looks great.

Customers who have ordered from me in October, are receiving a kit to create this cards as a thank you.

Here’s the replay of my Make a Card Monday featuring this card.

Card Recipe:

• Signs of Santa Stamp Set & Die
• Thick Whisper White Card
• Whisper White Card
• Bermuda Bay Card
• Calypso Coral Card
• Poppy Parade Card
• Santa’s Workshop DSP
• Memento Inkpad
• Poppy Parade, Ivory, Calypso Coral, Smoky Slate, Colour Lifter Blends
• Softly Falling Embossing Folder
• Big Shot
• Wink of Stella
