CASEing Mary....

 

One of the very first Stampin' Up! demonstrators whom I discovered once I joined SU! was Mary Fish.  She is from the States, and way back then (when the US had stamps and colours sometimes 10 months before Oz) she was a constant source of inspiration for my good friend Anna, and I.....needless to say we still love her creations!!

 

I got to spend a quick couple of hours crafting with Anna today, and we took the opportunity to CASE Mary...... Here's her card.

 

I changed it up (only a little) by changing the sentiment and choosing different reindeer images from  Home for Christmas DSP.   The border on my circle framelits is a little thicker, too.

 

 

And the set of four that I made.

 

Stamp Set: Santa's Gifts

Colours: Very Vanilla, Always Artichoke, Real Red

Seasons of Reindeer.....

 

I've CASEd this card from a photo that a friend sent me which she found online.  I'm note sure who the original stamper was :-(

 

I've used the bauble design from Season of Cheer DSP and for each reindeer, I've chosen a different colour to highlight..... Cherry Cobbler, Night of Navy, Hello Honey or Mellow Moss.    

 

I've used the new Washi Tape punch for the sentiment, which comes from Antique Tags stamp set - a hostess only set from the occasions catalogue.

 

Colour: Whisper White, Night of Navy, Mellow Moss, Hello Honey, Cherry Cobbler

Stamp Sets: Santa's Gifts, Antique Tags

Other: Season of Cheer DSP, Washi tape punch, various ribbons

Seasons of Santa....

 

I've been creating some more Christmas cards to add to my collection of 'For Sale' packs.  This set uses the DSP Seasons of Cheer from the Occasions mini catalogue and Santa's Gifts stamp set from the Annual Catalogue.

 

I've stamped all the Santa scenes of Whisper White cardstock and coloured them with the Stamp'n'Write markers.

 

Here are the cards in the set....I've tried to make each card a little different in the layout, as well as using different embellishments for the sentiments.  Firstly, here are some close ups of the sentiments. 

 

 

And here's a close up of the Christmas tree with red baubles.....I'm loving the Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Details!!! Don't you just love that bling!!!

 

And here are the cards.....

 

 

Stamp Sets: Santa's Gifts, Peaceful Pines, Holly Jolly Greetings, Six-Sided Sampler

Colours: Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler, Mellow Moss, Daffodil Delight, Basic Grey, Crumb Cake, Hello Honey, Real Red, Smokey Slate, Blush Blossom (retired - but is the perfect colour for Santa's face).

Santa's Gifts.....

 

I've been getting some Christmas cards together for a project I'm working on.  This one is using Santa's Gifts.  I love the way you can use the individual stamps to create a scene with this set.

 

 

Santa is taking his present over to the Christmas Pine Tree, which is scene on the DSP.  Love the simplicity of this card.  I've coloured the image with my Stamp'n'Write markers.

 

Colours: Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler, Basic Grey, Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Daffodil Delight, Blush Blossom, Smokey Slate

Stamps: Santa's Gifts, Petite Pairs.

Other: Dazzling Diamonds.
