Christmas cards one sheet wonder


These are some of the christmas cards I made earlier in the year, hopefully I'll post them to the family and friends sorry they'll be a little late again.

I made these using my one sheet wonder template, where you randomly stamp 1 A4 sheet of card and cut it to different shapes mine makes 10 cards.
For these cards I used whisper white, real red and handsome hunter card, real red, handsome hunter and versamark ink, dazzling diamonds(wish you could see them in the photo), heat and stick powder, tombow glue and some non Stampin' up! ribbons and brads I found in my stash. The stamp set I used was Season of joy.

Team Challenge

It was my turn to set the team challenge this week, I saw the picture's below in the December issue of Craft stamper and thought they were lovely so decided the challenge would be to use them as inspiration but we had to change at least 2 things about them, the card above is my version, I changed the colours and flipped the card onto it's side. This will be my last post for a few weeks now dh had to have major heart surgery on Tuesday and I'm going to be devoting all my time to looking after him and the kids till he's better.

Card: Real Red, Bravo burgundy, old olive, always artichoke and Very vanilla.
Ink: Bravo Burgundy and versamark.
Accessorys: Scallop edge punch, Red glitter, heat and stick powder, white Nail varnish(I didn't have a white gel pen so used a nail pen lol).
Stamp set Season of Joy
All products from Stampin' Up!

Team Challenge

This weeks challenge was to make a card with only Stampin' around wheels, and a sentiment stamp, Thank's to Kathy for setting this weeks challenge, I really enjoyed it.

I made this card for my Daughter, she is a book a holic (I think that's what you call someone who read's all day and night), she quickly removed the book mark and stuck it in her book.

I used Lavender lace, almost amethyst, barely banana and whisper white card, So saffron ribbon, Versamark ink heat and stick powder and Stampin' Up!'s Silver glitter, these glitters really have to be seen to be appreciated Photo's never do them justice.

The Stamp I used was from Occasional Greetings and the wheel is called Forever flower's.
