Borrowed Genius

For this month's Christmas Stamp-a-Stack cards I have borrowed from the creative genius of others. In other words, CASEd shamelessly! LOL

The first one is cased from Kim Gavarra with some changes in colour. The ribbon is contraband as SU haven't given us any Cherry Cobbler ribbon - WHAT WERE THEY THINKING????!!! Here's the card:

Materials used:

• stamps - Welcome Christmas
• card - Old Olive, Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler
• inks - Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler
• other - Cherry Cobbler marker, scissors, dimensionals, non SU organza ribbon, sponge dauber, non SU bow tying machine

My second card is cased from Sarah-Jane Kale and again I have changed the colours. I just love the vintagey look of this one:

Materials used:

• stamps - Delightful Decorations, Christmas Greetings
• card - Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler
• inks - Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso
• other - ornament punch, adhesive pearl, very vanilla satin ribbon, dimensionals, Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder, Big Shot, sponge dauber

Of course, you know it's only about 7 weeks until Christmas, don't you? YIKES!

Thanks for calling in. Have a great day.

Cheers

Cards For Our Troops

It's only 4 sleeps now until my very special event making Christmas cards for Aussie troops serving overseas in combat zones to send home to their families and loved ones. All stations are GO! (as Thunderbirds would say!) and I've a few things still to organise, so will be MIA for a few days here on the blog.

These are the card designs for everyone to make; I kept them as simple and straightforward as I could without being too plain (IYKWIM):

We have some fantastic raffle prizes and lucky door prizes to give away, thanks to the generosity of Stampin' Up!, my upline Marelle Taylor and fellow demos Juliette Chapman, Nikki Stalker and Robyn Irving. So I am looking forward to a fun day for a wonderful cause and I'll be back next week.

Have a good one!

Cheers
