Christmas Gift Tags

30 October, 201327 October, 2013 craftwithkate

Morning Stampers,

Did you know it is only 56 days until Christmas?

I know, I can’t believe it either and I haven’t even made a start on my Christmas cards yet.

So, to get started, I thought I would try a few quick and easy gift tags ready to add to all the gifts I am yet to think about purchasing!!!

Here I have used the Mosaic Madness Stamp Set. I stamped the same stamp 3 times using Raspberry Ripple Ink on White cardstock. I punched each one out with the coordinating mosaic punch, then scored each one down the centre. I glued them together to create the 3D ornament shape with Tombo Glue before adhering to the tiny cards.

The base of the card is 5cm x 10cm, scored in the middle to create a 5x5cm card, The Raspberry Ripple cardstock is a 4x4cm square.

I added a little ribbon bow to finish it off!

Mosaic Madness Stamps and Coordinating Punch can be purchased as a bundle saving you 15%.

Christmas Decorations

23 October, 201322 October, 2013 craftwithkate

Morning Stampers,

How about making your own decorations to put on the tree this Christmas.

Here I have used the Festive Flurry Framelits and there is no stamping, yes you heard right, for a change I have not used any stamps!!!

I used two different embossing folders, Northern Flurry & Polka Dots to emboss the Pool Party and Very Vanilla Flurry’s. I scored each flurry down the middle and glued them together with tombo glue. I did 3 at a time, 1 of each of the colours. When I was ready to glue the 2 bundles together, I first glued the ribbon to the centre!

Christmas, Thinlits Dies

I’m back!

26 September, 2013 craftwithkate

Well hello lovely stampers,

We are back from our wonderful holiday to Phuket, Thailand. I hope you enjoyed the few photos we posted on facebook while we were away. You wouldn’t believe that we took over 900 photos, so there will be lots of Scrapbooking in the near future!

It’s great to be home and able to stamp again!

The new Expressions Thinlits Dies (from the Holiday Catalogue) got a work out this morning and they are wonderful. I was a little worried about easy they were going to release from the die, but they are fantastic. They sure will become a feature on many cards.

I started with this Christmas card using the thinlits and the frosted finishes embellishment with the Winter Frost DSP.

This card also uses the love thinlits with the Beautifully Baroque Bundle (stamp and coordinating embossing folder). You can purchase these 2 items at 15% off!

Christmas Card using the dies from the Keepsake Ornament Set and new silver ribbon from the Holiday Catalogue.

I love this Venetian Romance DSP pack of papers. I have also used the expressions thinlits using multipurpose adhesive sheets and silver glitter over the heart from the Hearts a Flutter Stamp and Die Set.

These are just a taste of what I have been working on and will have plenty more to share with you in the coming weeks.

To purchase any of these items, be sure to visit my online store!

Happy stamping,

Kate
