Stampin' Royalty Challenge #47........

I came across another new challenge blog the other day. Well, new to me anyway :) This week Stampin' Royalty have a sketch challenge.

Now since I have only JUST started on Christmas projects, I thought I better make a start on Christmas cards too.

Here's the sketch -

And my card -

I've sort of flipped it around a bit so it doesn't look exactly like the sketch but it still has the features of it, just in different spots. I've just realised that I've left the little ribbon bits off the side though :(


See the spotted DSP that I made my flower out of? I LOVE it! I never noticed it in the IB&C but I can tell that I'll be using it all year long now.

Hope you had a great weekend!

I thought I'd play along with the Just Add Ink Sketch Challenge this week.

Here's the sketch -

And my card -

You might be thinking that this card is very similar to one of mine that you've seen recently .... and you're right. At the moment the Just Believe stamp set with Baja Breeze and Crumb Cake and the Elegant Soiree DSP is my absolute favourite. Since I still had it all out from this card, I thought I'd use it all again *smile*

Thanks for visiting!

Auntumn Traditions.....

Today I have another card using products from the Stampin' Up! Last Chance List as well as DSP (Designer Series Paper) from the autumn-winter mini catalogue. This catalogue finishes on the 31st August so you only have a couple of weeks to order from it.


Here's todays card......

I love the colours of the leaves in the Autumn Traditions DSP.


To tie the bow on the front I used the double rectangle punch that is retiring from the IB&C this month.

If you can't live without chocolate chip ribbon I suggest that you order that quickly. It is retiring this year and won't be in the new IB&C.




And the inside......

Last Chance List...

For the next week or so I would like to show case some of the items on Stampin' Up!'s "Last Chance List". This is the Stampin' Up! retirement list and stock is only available until the 31st August 2010 or until sold out. 

You can view the Last Chance List here 

I would strongly suggest that if there's something you know you just can't live without, than make sure you order it sooner rather than later. Once it's out of stock, that's it, it's gone.

My card today would make a great card for a man. I know a lot of people struggle with cards for males and I've found that this DSP (Designer Series Paper) and stamp set work perfectly together. While the stamp set is not retiring, the DSP is. It's called Windsor Knot and is now only $12.71. A saving of 25%!

Here is my card.....

Supplies (All Stampin' Up!)
Stamp Set - Lovely as a Tree, Heard From the Heart
Card Stock - Sage Shadow (retiring) chocolate chip, whisper white
DSP - Windsor Knot (retiring)
Ink - chocolate chip, whisper white craft ink, versamark
Adhesive - snail, Stampin' dimensionals


Hope you like it!
