Candy Cane Season Bundle

Hi and thank you for visiting my blog, a place for me to share my creations and my love of Stampin' Up! products. For me personally, card making and craft is a therapy, I'm a busy mum of four, married to a very supportive husband, volunteer in my local community and work part time. My craft room is my space where I can go and close the doors on my busy day and immerse myself in pretty papers, inks and stamps. It's so relaxing creating cards for family and friends. I love creating and sharing my work with other like minded creative people like yourself.

I'm holding my first ever card class next week with a few of my craft loving friends and I thought what better time to start on my Christmas card making. I bought the Candy Cane Season bundle as I thought it was a great deal getting the stamp and punch in the one pack and I could see endless possibilities with the different stamp combinations.

We will be making two greeting cards and a set of 3x3 notecards. Each showing different techniques such as stamping backgrounds, smooching and layering designer papers and stamps. The products used are:

Festive Farmhouse cardstock and designer series paper

Whisper White card stock

Cherry Cobbler ink

Mossy Meadow ink

You can find all of these products in the current holiday catalogue. Click on the images below to view both the holiday and annual catalogues. They are packed with lots of inspiration and of course all of the amazing Stampin' Up! products.

First Frost - Freshly Made Sketches Challenge

Today’s card is inspired by another card challenge - Freshly Made Sketches #372. I was excited to break out the First Frost stamp set and co-ordinating dies for this one. I had purchased them before Xmas and have only just gotten around to using them. It is a beautiful stamp set and one of my faves as I love florals. The Frosted Floral designer series paper co-ordinates beautifully, the patterns are so colourful and printed on shiny matte paper. Other supplies that I used are: Card stock - Tranquil Tide, Whisper White and Pear Pizzazz Ink - Blackberry Bliss, Blushing Bride and Pear Pizazz. Share What You Love Artisan Pearls in Tranquil Tide. I added some texture to my card base and front panel with the Subtle Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder, and dimension with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The fine tip glue pen was perfect for adhering the fine die cut branches on to the card base. Purchasing the First Frost stamp ...
