Be Inspired.

Thats the challenge over at A Passion for Papertrey this time.  Aimes picked a fabulous image for us to be inspired by and speaks to me on so many levels – namely because of the red!!1

Here’s the photo….

And here’s my creation…

{25 December}
Stamps: Background Basics: Christmas, Simple Alphabet
Cardstock: Kraft, Stampers Select White, Pure Poppy
Ink: Smokey Shadow, Distress Ink (Old Paper)
Dies: Fillable Frames #9, Love Lives Here dies, Modern alphabet, Stitched rectangles (lil Inkers), Snowflakes (Sizzix)
Other: Felt, bakers twine, stickles

I went for a postal sort of look with the Kraft and baker’s twine.  I used quite a few dies on this too – my newest love being the stitched rectangles from Lil’ Inkers – so useful!!

Hope you get a chance in between all your Christmas prep to pop over to the blog and check out the challenge.

Hugs,

A bit more Christmas!!

Just a quick post to share another card made with Clearly Besotted’s Signature Christmas stamp set.  This time I’ve used the gorgeous bauble image – love the mix-matchyness in this set!!

Christmas Greetings

This card features another of Steph’s new release stamp sets from Clearly Besotted Stamps (and one from the last release too!)  The striped blocks are from Building Blocks which has some really funky and on trend patterned blocks.  The tree is from Signature Christmas (one of my favourites of all the sets).  So that’s me with about 5 christmas cards done – only about 150 to go!!!
