Stampin' for Christmas Blog hop - Christmas card making Ideas and Inspiration

Welcome to the Stampin' for Christmas Blog Hop,

We our a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators

from all over the world sharing Christmas card making

and crafting ideas & inspiration with Stampin' Up! Products.

You're currently with me Laura Mackie

a demonstrator from the United Kingdom.

here is what I've made

I've made a cute little set of Notecards

using the Kraft Notecards & Envelopes from

Stampin' Up! with the Trees for Sale Stamp set.

I came across some adorable cards on Instagram

by Nicole Kunzig you can check her out here

She makes some really CUTE stuff!!

she had used an adorable robin for her cards,

I really loved the polka dot cards

and couldn't resist recreating the look,

with the Stampin' Up! Kraft Notecards.

I went with bright colours against the Kraft notecards,

I've used Parakeet Party above,

Evening Evergreen,

Pool Party and Polished Pink

The Kraft Notecards are great value at

only £9.50 for 20 Notecards with Envelopes and

they also come with a Kraft Box too.

I added the white dots with a white gel pen

you can get one here

I stamped the sentiment 'Christmas Greetings'

directly onto the Notecard with Soft Suede Ink.

I'm a sucker for linen thread and couldn't resist

adding a bow, I wanted to keep the cards simple

but I think the bow finishes them nicely, unusually

for me I haven't even added a gem!!!

Which colour tree is your favourite???

I'm loving the Polished Pink and the little doggy!

I hope you like my Christmas notecards

and it inspires you today

Stampin' For Christmas Blog hop

Stampin' Up! Christmas Season

Welcome to this months Stampin' For Christmas Blog Hop,

we our a group of Stampin' Up1 Demonstrators from all over

the world sharing Christmas ideas and inspiration using

Stampin' Up! Stamps & products,

You're currently with me Laura Mackie a

Stampin' Up! Demonstrator from the UK.

Here is what I've made for todays hop

Todays card is made using the Stampin' Up!

Christmas Season Stamp set, this stamp set is full

of leaves, pine cones and festive foliage!

I've actually only used the Holly and berry stamps

to create todays card,

I randomly stamped the Holly leaves

onto a Crumb Cake layer in Old Olive ink, and then went

and added in the berries using Cherry Cobbler Ink,

Once I stamped the background,

I then stamped another

pair of Holly leaves and berries

onto Crumb Cake cardstock and die

cut those out with the coordinating dies,

I then went ahead and heat embossed my sentiment

in gold onto more Crumb Cake cardstock and

die cut with the Stampin' Up! Seasonal Label Dies,

My sentiment is from the

Christmas to Remember stamp set,

I love the sentiment and feel it really is true

this year after the last 18 months we have all had.

Once I started playing I felt my background over powered

the sentiment and holly,

so dug out a piece of Vellum cardstock

to lay over the top, It did just what I wanted and

softened my stamped background,

I added a bow behind my sprig of holly and leaves

with the Gold Simply Elegant trim, and added

a few Gold gilded gems to finish off my card

a really traditional Christmas card,

with Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive and Crumb Cake

and some gold thrown in!
