Rudolph Day in August

Here we are, 25th of the month, and that can mean only one thing.....

Rudolph Day!

This is where we are encouraged to get ahead and make some

of 'those' cards each month.

Do join in if you can, it's so much better than rushing in December!

My entry this month is from a brand new set that will probably get overlooked in the

New Seasonal Catalogue from Stampin' Up!

Season Like Christmas

is a sketchy kinda tree that can be layered up to give a 3-d effect,

and it has some really lovely sentiments.

"Thinking of you at Christmas"

is one of my favourites, as there are so many people for whom it can be a very difficult season.

I stamped the trunk first....it is actually split so that it peeks out, giving a realistic look,

stamped a layer in old olive, then the next in second generation mossy meadow.

I stamped the 'snow' with versamark, and heat embossed with glitter,

I also added some more sparkle using a teeny tiny stamp from Star of Light.

Then I added some embossing paste for some raised snow,

which bubbles when you heat it!

It's thanks to special people like you who provide me with inspiration from your blogs and challenges,so a big thank you for taking the time to visit mine.

Have a happy Rudolph Day

Star of Wonder

Hi there
lots of bugs n stuff going round,
so I hope this finds you well, if not, get well soon.

Using the Starlight Bundle, this is one we did at class,
cased from someone somewhere, apologies. 

We used the lush copper foil cardstock sheets

(some people have expected a different type of foil product,

so I suppose the SU catalogue is not clear)

They are 12 x 12" sheets, so we cut them down to make a mat,

the "gutted" the inside, which basically means we cut our elements

from the centre of the rectangle, so that it doesn't show, but we don't waste too much.

I will endeavour to be back soon, but no promises at the mo!

Star of Light

I have been playing with another new set....

Star of Light and Starlight Thinlets,

it comes in a Bundle so good value,

and I think this may be my favourite at the moment!

I decided to use Sweet Sugarplum,

one of the new In-Colours, because I'd got some of the

coordinating glitter Ribbon.

Again it took very little time to put these together.

I could have gone on and on playing with this Bundle,

if only I didn't have other things to do!

Excuse the poor photography...some things never improve, but

I hope you enjoy looking....

I tried the Copper Foil, it looks good with this soft pink,

there's some absolutely gorgeous sentiments in the stamp set.

---

Pink Glimmer pink, and again so many little elements in the set,

including the weeny trio of stars in the top left corner.

---

Some of the new Ribbon

---

Vellum, love the die that makes peep holes, and Silver Foil

---

The swirl is one stamp, and it's simply divine.

Have a great weekend

Happy Crafting
