Contempo Christmas Card - Blues Part 2

Morning all,

Yipee, it's Friday, and as some of you know, Stampin' Up! European Convention held here in the UK today and tomorrow! Unfortunately, I am unable to attend, but I'll be sure to find out all what's going on from my fellow demonstrators via their iPhones minute by minute :) lol.

As promised, here's the negative of yesterday's card in Night of Navy with Marina Mist. Enjoy!

Contempo Christmas Card - 3D Baubles

Happy Friday!!!

Just a quick message to upload the Make & Take card from the weekend which was also made by my ladies on Wednesday night using Contempo Christmas stamp set with the addition of Season of Joy. There are three baubles stamped and punched and adhered together to create a 3D effect. As there's only three baubles, it's flat enough to send via Royal Mail without the extra postage, but once received, the recipient can pinch out the baubles together to look 3D as intended :) Below are two pictures, one from the front and one from the side angle. Hope you like:

Contempo Christmas Card - Demo Card.

Morning all,

Hope you're enjoying your week so far :) Last night I had my Evening Session and the ladies came over for a little chat a lot of crafting! They made two cards that I had prepared earlier as I had planned previously to give them the two cards from my workshop at the weekend just gone. They made a slightly altered version of my Demo card and the Make & Take card from Saturday :) I think the ladies enjoyed their time crafting.... I'm sure anyone would rather craft than be at home juggling family life/chores etc. :)

So, below is the card I demoed at the weekend using Contempo Christmas which comes in both clear mount and wood mount.

Note: Clear-mount are not clear stamps. The new stamps to the Idea Book & Catalogue are repositionable clear-mount stamps which are still the red deeply etched rubber with foam that Stampin' Up! are well known for. They are placed onto clear blocks instead of the maple wood blocks. This way, depending on the stamp and block size, you can limit your stamping time by adding a couple of stamps to the same block and stamp away as normal. Another favourite with clear-mount stamps is the space saving storage as all clear-mount stamps come in a box the same size us a regular dvd case which is great news for crafter that accumulate a lot of crafting goodies over time!

Okay, got a bit side tracked there, so here is the Contempo Christmas card below which was actually CASEd from my previous card here.
