Re-Introducing... Background Builders: Christmas AND Jolly Christmas

Hey!

Welcome to the first day of the October 2018 Release product introductions.

This is the fun part, you now get to see all the sneak peeks in action. The Design Team have worked their socks off and created an abundance of inspiration to share with you over the coming days :)

Today we are re-introducing Background Builders: Christmas AND Jolly Christmas clear stamp sets. These two clear stamp sets were first introduced WAY back in October 2013 HERE and HERE. You can also find more 'old' inspiration using the clear stamps HERE and HERE on Pinterest.

How about a fresh look at what these stamp sets offer in their creativity potential...

First up a colourful card using 6 out of the 8 building strips from Background Builders: Christmas. I simply repeat stamped the strips on white card to create a pattern and then die cut stitched squares to create a quilt style design. The sentiment is from Simply Said Christmas.

There are a few fun features to this building set and one of my faves is the two step stamping holly strip :) I also LOVE adding glitter to the outline tree centres!

Next up we have Jolly Christmas and I have used my favourite image from the clear stamp set for both these cards...

The card on the left I shared HERE for my CAS Colours & Sketches DT card, so you can find all the details about it there.

For the card on the right I created a background using Uniko Stencil Scattered Polka Hexagons and sparkly paste. I coloured and fussy cut Jolly Santa out applying glitter to the brim of his hat and the cuffs on his coat. The sentiment is from Most Wonderful.

As usual my AWESOME Design Team have created projects to share with you all too. Be sure to hop along, commenting along the way. You never know, I might just pick some random comments to WIN some prizes this release ;)

TIME OUT Challenge - Inspired By Words

Hey!

YAY, I finally found a spare few minutes to be creative and make a card for the current challenge over at TIME OUT Challenges. I don't know about you, but this time of year is crazy busy and fitting in Christmas preparations with two little ones I need even more hours in a day!

Anyway, it's challenge #21 over at TIME OUT Challenges, the last for 2014 and we are back to being inspired by words, the phrase for this fortnights challenge is...

Christmas is love with all the trimmings

What do these words inspire you to create? I was inspired by the words music and love, which resulted in this card...

I was inspired by the words Christmas & trimmings and decided to use the recently release Background Builders: Vines Winter Additions to create a bough of holly. I added a little bit of Wink of Stella to the holly leaves (Thank you Sarah & sorry I am naughty & didn't wait to open my gift on Christmas Day!) and the sentiment is from Jolly Christmas.

As I had a little time to 'play' and also not used a challenge for sometime I decided to use the current CAE(E) this Sketch! layout seen HERE and below.

This fortnight we have a lovely guest designer joining us, Shirley, be sure to stop by Shirley's blog HERE to see how she was inspired by the photo and of course the FABulous TIME OUT Challenges Design Team...

Countdown to Christmas Day 12

Hey!

A little late today with todays Countdown to Christmas, apologies for that. With all the fun of release day, packing & sending lovely customer orders (Thank you) time has ticked by way faster than I thought!

Anyway, I'm back with another super CAS way to add a little personal touch to your Christmas cards & Christmas gifts...

First up is this cute little card for my Nephew Joey, who will be nine in January. I've used the Jolly Santa from Jolly Christmas and simply coloured him with Copics, added some Spica sparkle and some glitter to his white trim. The sentiment is from Pure Florals: Poinsettia and I used Memory Box Typewriter Upper Alphabet die set for his name which I die cut from gold shimmer paper.

As I don't have children and I have absolutely no idea what nine year olds are in to, so I will be popping some money inside the card for hime to spend as he pleases. I always liked opening presents as a kid so I have bought a little token gift for him to open on Christmas Day. To make it a little more special I wrapped it in gold wrapping paper and added his name again, using the alphabet dies...

That's all from me today and another present and card ticked off the list! I hope this has given you some inspiration for adding that personal touch to your card & gift giving. I will be back again tomorrow with more to share. Until then, thank you for stopping by :)

Supplies

Card Stock: SU! Real Red, White from stash

Jolly Baubles!

Hey!

I've finally turned a corner & feeling slightly better, well enough to spend a few hours in the studio! I made a little card which I was happy with until I added some Stickles for some sparkle and it made the colours run :(

Why didn't you use your trusty glue pen & Hero Arts Prisma Glitter I hear you ask?! Well, I'm all out of glue pens :( Guess I'll be restocking of those when I am at The Paperlane tomorrow!

Anyway, here's my little card...

Whilst snuggled on the sofa yesterday afternoon trying to rest & get rid of this cold I had an idea pop into my head which I made a note of on my iPhone so I wouldn't forget! The idea is what you see above to use the 3 circle stamps from Background Builders: Round In Circles as baubles on a Christmas card!

I used SU! Real Red & Lucky Limeade as my colours and on the striped bauble/circle I used my SU! markers to selectively colour each line. The bows on each bauble is from Label Love: Birthday and I simply drew the string with a black fine liner. The striped bauble is also punched out and mounted using foam adhesive for a little dimension & the sentiment is from Jolly Christmas.

I will be having another go at this card design when I've stocked up on glue pens! I fancy having ago at using some different colours too.

That's all from me today & apologies for my lateness in posting, I will be back tomorrow with a card to share for someone FABULOUS. I'm taking part in an AWESOME blog hop which is NOT to be missed! My post will be at an usual time for me 1pm here in the UK, hope to see you tomorrow :)

Thanks for stopping by :)

How Jolly, it's the Weekend!

Hey!

I'm in a JOLLY mood today, it might be because it's the weekend or it could possibly be due to the card I have to share with you today...

Yup, I've inked up Jolly Santa from Jolly Christmas and had fun with a little paper piecing. I rarely use patterned paper in my cards even though I have a HUGE stack of lovely papers! I decided to use a patterned paper from Basic Grey's Nordic Holiday. Along with using the paper for Santa I decided to add a strip down either side of the white panel he is stamped on.

I added a sentiment also from the Jolly Christmas set to a banner & some glitter to add a little sparkle & finish things off.

That's all from me today, I'll be back tomorrow with more to share. Until then, thank you for stopping by today & have a Fabulously & Jolly day!

Supplies:
Card: PTI Kraft, White from stash
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black
Stamps: Uniko Studio Jolly Christmas
Accessories: PTI Banner Die, Embroider Floss, Basic Grey Nordic Holiday Paper Collection & Hero Arts Prisma Glitter
