This Years Christmas Cards



I just love this stamp set.  Years ago, Lisa Hoggart made cards for Duncan's soccer team, she had rolling soccer balls.  We don't have pennys here in Aust so I've used buttons to make the snowball roll.  Makes me smile...





Same stamp set with the addition of Lovely as a Tree stamp set background.  Lots of cutting out mind, but I like this fellow as well.



I went with the oval frame, simply to make the side sturdier.  Dazzling Diamonds on both snowmen look just like snow, love it.  Real Red Cardstock,  Always Artichoke trees,  Pool Party Cardstock and seam binding, with Whisper White.

Christmas is in the air...



Christmas is in the air... well not really as we are expecting another hot day in Sydney tomorrow, 37 C  that's 98.6 F.   Still a good reason to stay indoors and craft. I don't know where I saw this star but it got me thinking.   Cut 5 small pennants from the pennant punch; attach to the back of a 1 3/8 circle punch; add a small scallop circle in glitter on top; add a button to suit with string tie detail.  Tip - keep in mind the shape of a 5 point star, sides line up with one another. 



Quick Gift Certificate Envelope.



I looked at this envelope on Julia's desk and thought,  "That's made from Stampin' Up papers, hmm where did she get that from?"  Senior moment.  I made it last year to dress up a pasta making course gift certificate.    You just have to laugh....
