Although preparations and workshops for Christmas are well under way I'm going to continue with my card creation catch up, and somehow I'm still showing things I did in October!!
As always with SU products, colour co-ordination comes with ease when their stamps and matching punches do the work for you. As I'm continually lying in the hammock and never leaving things till the last minute (if only!), when products go together like this, cards can be made in a jiffy which gets me out of tight squeeze again and again!
Stamp set: Cupcake Party, retired greeting
Inks: Melon mambo, stamped off, Basic Black
Card stock: Silver Glimmer paper, Basic Black, Whisper White
Accessories: Melon Mambo embossing powder, Cupcake builder punch and small star punch from Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack
Just so you can see the detail of the stamp, here's a close up . . . .
And for a different look, on the same theme a few days later in the month . . .
Stamp set: As above, cheeky cherry stamp in the set!
Inks: Real Red, Chocolate chip
Card stock: Red glimmer paper, Whisper white
Accessories: Cupcake builder punch - contains the cherry punch! 2 3/8" Scallop Circle Punch
And just for something completely different, using SU card stock and punches, but simply copying from original artwork I made this for adorable Archie, who is the ultimate Thomas fan . .
Stamp set: Retired greeting from Party this way
Inks: Pacific point and Project Life journaling pen for the expressions and outline
Card stock: Whisper White, Daffodil Delight, Pacific Point, Smokey Slate, Cherry Cobbler, Basic Black, Soft Sky for the background.
Accessories: Assorted circle punches and Stampin Trimmer for cutting, Word window punch for greeting.
Here's hoping the trip to Llandudno to visit Thomas went well ;-)
Keep on crafting, Gen Gen xxxx
