Christmas In The Shop

In the studio card making production has gone into overdrive.  There’ll be glitter and sequins flying all over the place.

The shop has some of my favourite things for Christmas crafting at the moment and it’s all I can do to keep my hands off them!! Firstly for anyone needing to create a quick card or two I’ve put together these card kits. The kit includes 5 blank cards and envelopes, a gorgeous stamp from Indigoblu, a mini Versafine ink pad (water resistant for using water colour paints etc), some twine and enough backing papers to get you started.  If you click on the picture it’ll take you directly to the shop so you don’t have to search around for them.

Also I’m so in love right now with this Dutch Doobadoo stencil of stars. It’s an A5 size so is perfect for card backgrounds or journals.

As well as the Indigoblu stamps in the card kit there’s also this much bigger A6 size Christmas stamp called Baubles Flourish and I think it’s my favourite.

If you like a bit of the shiny stuff too – and lets face it who doesn’t? I’ve got flakes also from Indigoblu to complement the stamps.

Finding Inspiration To Make Tags For Christmas

December 2nd is here already and I know lots of you have been making cards and decorations weeks in advance but, here in the studio, I’m only just starting to think about it which is totally like me. I’m so last minute, why change now?

Anyway, I thought I’d make some tags and show you a couple of ideas for firstly finding inspiration which, let’s face it, is sadly lacking at times and, secondly, making it quicker to make multiples of things. So lets get on with it.

A Quick Rocker Card

baby card

I say quick but in the end it turned out to be a bit trickier than I thought. To make the image balance exactly upright I had to keep moving the little peg around until the phrase in the centre sat perfectly horizontally.  Thank goodness for the little peg!

All of the papers are from Canvas Corp and are from their Baby Collection and as I’m a lover of fussy cutting I had no problem in cutting out the cute pram from the sheet.

The card is now on it’s way to a very special new family member.
