JAI #183: STAMPIN' UP! CHRISTMAS COLLECTIBLES

It's that exciting day of the week, when the new Just Add Ink challenge goes live!  This week, Tina has come up with this sketch for us to use on a papercraft project:

Here's my take on the sketch ('cos you just can't amass too many Christmas cards, at this time of year!):

Stamps: Christmas Collectibles, Wishing You

Card: Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White

DSP: Season of Style Designer Series Paper

Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Crumb Cake and Early Espresso stampin' pads

Other: Christmas Ornament punch, Chalk Talk framelits, Bitty Banners framelits, Brights brads, Neutrals Candy Dot, Brights button, sponge dauber, paper snips, stampin' dimensionals

 

 

 

Make sure you check out what the other Design Team members have created, over at Just Add Ink.  We look forward to seeing what you make, using this sketch!

 

 



A LITTLE STAMPIN' UP! CHRISTMAS CHEER FOR MERRY MONDAY #71

I really do wish I'd been more organized, and joined in the fun of Lesley's Merry Monday Challenges sooner!  What a great idea, to make one Christmas card a week during the year - really takes the pressure off at the "pointy end" of the year.  Oh well, I think I can claim that I'm "on a roll", as I have joined in this week's Merry Monday Challenge, after playing along last week.

Here's Lesley's sketch:

... and my card, featuring the stack of presents from "Wishing You", one of the gorgeous new sets available in Australia and New Zealand at the end of August:

Stamps: Wishing You (available 29th August), Sweet Essentials. Owl Occasions (not current)

Card: Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler Core'dinations

DSP: Season of Style Designer Series Paper (out 29th August)

Ink: Cherry Cobbler stampin' pad and marker, Crumb Cake stampin' pad, Old Olive marker, Baked Brown Sugar marker

Other: Ovals framelits, 3/4" Circle punch, Small Oval punch, Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder, sanding block, sponge dauber, stampin' dimensionals, 1 1/4" burlap ribbon (available 29th August)
