New Christmas Stamps

By
I have just bought some new Christmas stamps and what better place to try them out than the 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown challenge.
This week we want to see Heat or Dry Embossing on your Christmas cards - here are mine


Yay - my new set is the Pines and Poinsettias from Stampin' Up! My image on this first card has been inked up using markers - Close to Cocoa, Lucky Limeade and Poppy Parade and I have dry embossed my white panel.


Again I have used the same set this time heat embossing my image with gold embossing powder - I've also added some red gems too.
Please pop over and take a look at the lovely cards created by my partner in crime Mynnette and I will see you soon - Jacqueline xx

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr
