Beary Christmas Blog Hop

Welcome to our blog hop, if you arrived here from  Nell Ward's blog you are in the right place if you arrived here by chance I hope you see something you like.

The Beary Christmas papers and compliments are so lovely. I do love the traditional Christmas colours of red and green but the added bonus of the soft blue is gorgeous. 

This card was so easy to create, these papers just look beautiful together. The JOY is cut using the Artbooking Cricut cartridge and I used the 3D Foam Tape to raise it slightly off the card. A few of the Red Gems Z3090, some red ribbon and a little Christmas tree from my stash finishes off the card.

This layout uses different papers, the Christmas trees and bears are so cute. I have a cut a Merry Christmas sentiment from the Flower Market Cricut cartridge and have also fussy cut one of the bear and wreath for added decoration. I haven't bought the new Beary Christmas stamp and thin cuts yet but the the bear stamp from the previous Seasonal Expressions catalogue and a Santa hat from last year's stamp made a good substitute.

I wanted to show that some of these papers can be used for projects other than Christmas, the blue paper is such a pretty soft colour I used it to make a bookmark. This paper looks so good with Champagne cardstock

October Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

Welcome to our blog hop, if you arrived here from  Shaunna's blog  you are in the right place if you arrived here by chance I hope you see something you like.

The October Stamp of the Month is Christmas Tunes S 1710, these include some of my favourite Christmas carols. This stamp set is $27.00 or $7.50 with a purchase of $75.00.

 

 My sister, two of her grandchildren and I visited Tasmania in the July school holidays. While there we went to  Ben Lamond National Park so the kids could see snow. Unfortunately there was just a smattering of snow but it was enough for the kids to have a go at tobogganing. I have use papers from the Fundamental Paper Pack and used Sapphire cardstock as an accent. I stamped the "Baby it's Cold Outside image in Slate ink and added a little colour with the ShinHan Markers.

I have created two Christmas cards with two other images from this set, one I have gold embossed and added some gold ribbon.

This second card is called a Joy Fold card it opens fro both the right and left sides. The button holds the right side closed when it is tucked in behind the button. The image was stampede with Black ink and coloured with the Shin Han markers.
