Signs of Santa Memories and More

Hello there, thanks for stopping by.

Here's some quick cards using the Memories and More card packs from Signs of Santa.

I'd seen people using them, then a customer bought a pack, but didn't know what to do with them.

Always up for a challenge :) I set about these.....

By adding some gems, twine, wink of stella, and a bit of layering,

these were so quick I was amazed! Some were so cute you could just stick them on a card.

I used a few foil edged ready made card bases, and a few stamps I had in my stash

a few die cut snowflakes from glimmer paper above

All were double sided and so easy to use, I would definitely try this again.

Have a wonderful weekend

Stamparatus Tip

Evening all!

Hope this finds you well....have you had a good weekend?

We've had a bank holiday here....today not so bad but yesterday was decidedly soggy.

No doubt the sun will shine tomorrow, when everyone's back at work...

that's what normally happens :)

Anyhoo, I showed you the Signs of Santa cards the other day,

and I meant to share a tip on using the Stamparatus, that I now can't live without. 

So, a couple of cards ......now as well as the lovely paper, 

there's stamps and dies...which you can do easier on the Stamparatus

.......and especially if you want to do "batch baking", heres the "how"

1) Line a piece of card up into the corner of Stamparatus and Stamp the images nicely spaced out 

Leave the stamps in place on the Stamparatus

2) Die cut those images

3) Die cut lots of blanks of the same shapes

4) Line up the card from 1) into the corner of the Stamparatus

5) Insert the blanks into the apertures

6) Ink the stamps and stamp on blanks

7) Repeat 6)

Have you ever stamped images and then the dies slip when in the die cutting machine?

This is how to avoid that, as well as making it easier to do lots of the same,

And it works well for classes and workshops as you can die cut ahead of time.

This probably works with other stamping tools.

Let me know if you give it a go!

Take care

Lesley

Signs of Santa

Happy Rudolph Day!

Eek! it's the 25th of the month again, and that means the

Rudolph Day Challenge is open...

I'm also entering the Snippets Playground as the gates are still open to play :)

Bottom picture shows I still have a mountain few snippets left...

Do hop over to both Blogs if you get chance , for some lovely prizes & projects and even lovelier people!

Here's a sneak peek of some new things from the Seasonal Catalogue

that goes live on 5th September, and as a demonstrator we get to play

work with some of the new toys products......

I thought I'd put all the blurb here so you can skip past read it and just enjoy the pics.

So I made a standard size, and a landscape z fold, using some stamped images,

and some die cut from the paper....(omg it's the strokeable-got-to-have-two-packs kinda paper)

.....YES the dies cut some of the paper images out!!

I was so excited about that (ok, so it doesn't take much)...... how cool and time saving!

Can you tell I like this bundle yet ;)

Want a catalogue or have any questions? Just ask! I'm always happy to help.

Enjoy, thanks for visiting and see you again soon

Santa's Sacks

I couldn't wait to show you these......

something I don't think I've tried before,

plus using some of my pre-order from the new Seasonal Catalogue,

due out on 5th September, and full of lush new stuff!

(Just message me if you'd like your own paper copy)

These fun canvas gift bags are so versatile and useful for small gifts/cards/money/sweets etc

I used Mistletoe Season with Archival black ink to stamp this image.

I actually used my Stamparatus so that I could go over the image.

I wasn't sure it would work with anything but card, but as you can see it worked perfectly.

I used a magnet to hold in place, but also because I was able to butt it up into the corner

I was able to stamp the image a few times over.

Canvas doesn't take the ink as well as card, so don't expect the same crisp image.

I wanted to use the new sparkly gorgeous Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon,

and some embellishments from last year, plus some Rhinestones 

Above shows them on my display in the CraftRoom.

I am holding some all day Classes next month, so let me know if you'd like to join us.

Signs of Santa is a brand new Bundle, and oh my goodness it is cuteness overload.

There are loads of fun images from the "North Pole", plus coordinating products such as

Flocked Speciality Designer Series Paper and Dies that even cut the images on the paper!

I used Washi Tape to mask off some stripes, and then with Poppy Parade red ink and a Sponge Brayer,

inked the stripes ((  I went over the edge of the last one :(  )), and stamped the "Seal".

I have already had lots of fun with these, but I fancy there could be lots more fun to be had yet! 

I hope you are having a good weekend,

thanks for stopping by, and see you again soon
