'Tis the season…as I did my run today through the wind and snow…realized that I haven't been on here lately to share – apologies! Here's a quick and easy Christmas card done with Stampin' Up!'s Watercolour Winter set. I love stamping sentiments (the one on the card is from More Merry Messages)and then punching them out – it's an easy way for me to be sure that my sentiment is straight!! If you're looking to complete your card stash, don't forget that the last sessions of my Christmas Card Clinics are this week – registration closes Tuesday – so move fast! Select the design of your choice from the album, I'll cut and prep all the materials, and you come and create! Contact me ASAP or register on my events page.

There are some Stampin' Up! sets that I love in theory but sometimes find it hard to create with….not sure why…but Everything Eleanor is one of them. I love the images, but can't always create something to my satisfaction….but I _do_ like this one! The label image and sentiment were stamped first, then masked with scrap paper so that the swirls stamped afterwards appear to go behing the label. I was really happy with how this one turned out, except for one thing… I found that my new format Rich Razzleberry pad was sooooo juicy that the ink would get onto my fingers and then I'd end up smudging the cardfront. Happily, that's what embellishments help with – I placed the smallest of Paper Daisies onto the card to cover up some of the smudges, and then added a little bling with Basic Rhinestone.
Oh…by the way, if you'd like to get your hands on a full SET of those new format ink pads for FREE – please contact me! Buy a starter kit and not only will you get a ready-made home based business, you'll get a free set of ink pads! This is a great way to give your business a boost (or, let's face it, supply your crafting habit…LOL). Host a workshop with sales of $575 or more and you can also get a free set of ink pads! (or do both and get TWO sets of ink pads!!!!). This deal only lasts until December 16th – so don't miss out!!
This fun image download is FREE! Click on the image or on this link to download it from my online Stampin' Up! store. This image coordinates with one of the new downloads called "To You From Me". I don't know about you….but I know this sentiment might apply to a couple of people on my gift list….LOL
