Holiday Catalogue Sneak Peek - Merry Little Christmas card stack

I really enjoy card making: learning new techniques, perfecting older ones and taking as much time as necessary to do it.  Somehow I find myself loaded up with the patience that I don't seem to be able to summon in other aspects of my life!

BUT ... occasionally time is not on my side and I just need to make some cards quickly and easily.  Enter the Memories & More Card Pack called Merry Little Christmas!  I haven't yet developed a taste for memory keeping but this card pack is also great for card-makers.

These four cards basically assembled themselves in a matter of minutes!  They're simple, require minimal equipment but are still imbued with the Christmas spirit!

Memories & More card packs are great for making quick & easy cards

 

The large sentiment is from the new Snowflake Sentiments stamp set in the 2017 Holiday Catalogue (available from 1 September) and the small one is from the Holly Berry Happiness stamp set in the Annual Catalogue (available now).

I trimmed the decorative cards to size, stamped a greeting with Cherry Cobbler ink, layered them onto a piece of cardstock and adhered them to the card fronts.

Thank you for visiting.
'Til next time!

Cheery Swirly Snowflake - Sneak Peek

This elegant Christmas card was soooo quick and easy to make!  Most of the products belong to the new Year of Cheer Suite in the 2017 Holiday Catalogue and will be available from 1 September 2017 to 2 January 2018.

It's hard to go past the elegance of the Year of Cheer suite - suitable for many occasions

To the black card base I adhered the snowflake trim.  This is cut from the new Champagne coloured Foil Sheet using the new Swirly Snowflakes thinlits.  

To the other side of the card front, I adhered a piece of the gorgeous new Year of Cheer Specialty Designer Series Paper and added a piece of the Year of Cheer Specialty Washi Tape over the join.

I silver heat embossed the greeting from the Cheers To The Year stamp set onto a small square of Basic Black card and added the little swirls cut with the Swirly Snowflakes thinlits.

To add the final bits of bling, I used Clear and Gold Faceted Gems.
