Phoenix Inspirations

 I've been crafting again and I've made another Christmas card. Isn't it great that we crafters can do Christmas all year round?  So I've followed the theme over at  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  and this week it's........... So - I had a rummage around in my craft stash and I found a set of stamps and dies that I think I only used about once and a stamp set that is absolutely years and years old! I had a good play and this is what I came up with The large sentiment image is from Carols of Christmas, The poinsettia is from Merriest Moments and the die and embossing folder is from the Merriest Frames die set - all of which are from Stampin' Up I was so happy to get an Honorable Mention for my previous card - how lovely! Thanks for stopping by today - see you soon xx

Today I have another card for you made using the Carols of Christmas set Again the main sentiment has been heat embossed in gold as have the corner details. I also stamped some poinsettias in Real Red on a piece of Whisper White card stock and then covered them with a cut out piece of a post it note. I then stamped the leaves and cut them out. I attached the using Dimensionals. I have a day off work today - yay! I love it when I have a Sunday off - all day to craft and a roast dinner too! Hope you are having a lovely weekend of crafting - see you soon - J xx

I've finally got around the crafting with my Carols of Christmas stamp set. I am pitifully behind with my Christmas cards so I'm trying to catch up now!!! Today's card is a one layer clean and simple creation - come and take a look My main sentiment was stamped in Versamark ink and heat embossed with gold embossing powder - I did the same with the hanging ornaments. My flowers in the corner are stamped in Real Red and Emerald Envy. The little lines were also stamped in Emerald Envy making a lovely little frame. I am entering this card into the challenge over on Addicted to CAS I can't wait to show you more cards made with lovely set or you could order it now and make some of your own.
