It's Beginning To Look Like... October/November Release Sneak Peeks!

Hello & Happy Monday. 

How did we get here? I can't quite believe we will be welcoming a new month this week, and NOVEMBER of all months! This year has absolutely zoomed by. 

Anyway, I'm super excited you stopped by as if you know me, I love starting a new week with New Release Sneak Peeks! 

This month along with 3 new seasonal clear stamp sets, I am bringing 2 much loved clear stamp sets back from retirement. Lets have a look and see if you can guess which they are, I'm sure some of you will know...

This first is a set that originally made its debut in 2016 and this second originally debuted in 2012!! I've had so many requests for both, that I can't wait to relaunch them with lots of fresh inspiration.

The next 3 peeks are all brand new and I'm not saying much as I don't want to ruin the introductions this week!! 

So what do you think? Are you excited to see some clear stamps return from retirement? And I'd love to know what you are excited to see more of

CAS Colours & Sketches #302 - Seasonal Sketch

Hey!

Oh my! I am running terribly behind this week on all areas of life :( I'm finally here with my final DT card for CAS Colours & Sketches. It's been a blast being on the DT and I will miss being part of a wonderful team. However, my life is so busy at the moment, something had to give.

Anyway, the countdown to Christmas has begun and over at CAS Colours & Sketches the Design Team are getting into the festive spirit too. This week the challenge HERE is to choose a sketch from 2018 and make it seasonal.

I chose to use the colours from challenge #295 seen HERE and below...

And here is how it festive...

I LOVE snowflakes! With all the talk of the possibility of snow this weekend and having recently purchased The Stamp Market Snowflake Die, I had to put it to use! 

I die cut the snowflake from some left over sparkly card (Stampin' Up! I think) and paired it with some heat embossed snowflakes from Background Builders: Christmas and the 'Let it Snow' sentiment from Simply Said Blocks Christmas. For good measure and simply because I love the stuff, I added some Simply White Gloss Nuvo Drops!

There is still time to join in on this last CC&S challenge for 2018 and there is more inspiration from the CC&S Design Team over HERE. Be sure to check out which colour combo they've all chosen to make seasonal :) I look forward to seeing you in the gallery and happy festive CAS card making!

CAS Colours & Sketches #253 - Seasonal Sketch

*CLICK HERE for the Uniko Introduction*

Hey!

Ack! Where is the time going? Please slow down I have too much still to do before Santa arrives! Lol! Anyone else feel like this? 

Anyway, THIS week at CAS Colours & Sketches we want you to choose a sketch from all the ones in 2017 and make it seasonal! 

I decided to revisit the first sketch of 2017, #205

This is how I have used them to create a Christmas card...

Today is the start of the Uniko December Release product introductions and one of the products the Design Team and I are introducing today HERE, is Large Background: Scattered Polka Dots. When I saw this sketch I immediately knew the background would be perfect! 

I have partially stamped the Large Background: Scattered Polka Dots on to a Pool Party mat layer using VersaMark ink and heat embossed with white EP. The sentiment and snowflake are from Stunning Snowflakes and I embellished the finished card with some Altenew enamel dots.

That's all I have to share with you today, but be sure to head on over to the CAS Colours & Sketches blog post HERE to enter the challenge and to see more inspiration from the Design Team.

I look forward to seeing you in the gallery!
