Farmhouse Christmas Bundle


I am doing a Craft day and classes this month using the Farmhouse Christmas Bundle.
The first card is a Z fold card which Monica Gale shared with us at an online team training last month.
I love the combination of Pool Party, Gray Granite and Cherry Cobbler.
The fence is one of the Dies in the Bundle.


This is another card which we did - clean and simple.
I love the red truck and tree. you could cut off the tree and put other items into the truck.


The house can be used for several occasions such as retirement, new home.
The Galvanised Buttons are part of the Suite.


The last project is a cute box. I found the video in Pootle's Advent countdown HERE
I punched the stars out using the retired Sprinkles Punch and the Joy sentiment is a retired die which I cut down from Jolly to make the word Joy.

More Winter Woods


This is my favourite stamp set from the Autumn/Winter Catalogue.
In October I went on a Paperie Retreat, at Monk Fryston Hall in Yorkshire, organised by Monica Gale. One of the projects were a set of four coasters using the Winter Woods Stamp Set and Frosted Shimmer Paint.


Here is a card using Gray Granite and Merry Merlot inks and a technique called shadow stamping.


The trees were inked up in Pear Pizzazz with Garden Green and Shaded Spruce daubed on with Sponge Daubers. The card base was embossed using the Pinewood Planks Embossing Folder.


In the third card I also used two stamps from the Rooted In Nature Set. The DSP is from the Under The Mistletoe pack in the Annual Catalogue.


The last card is in brown tones with some Copper Shimmer Paint daubed on to the stamp.

Happiness Surrounds Stamp Set


Happiness Surrounds is one of the two Stamp Sets in the Snowflake Showcase Suite available for this month only. It goes with the Snowfall Thinlet Dies. I embossed the Pool Party card base with the Layering Leaves folder. The colours used are Pool Party, Calypso Coral and Mint Macaron.


This is a card that I sent to my daughter. The card base is Crumb Cake. The background paper is from the 6 x 6 pack in the Annual Catalogue called Wood Textures. Colours used are Early Espresso, Garden Green and Calypso Coral.


The third card is a combination of Powder Pink, Melon Mambo and Pool Party.

Snowflake Showcase


For this month only Customers can buy items from the Snowflake Show Case products.
This includes 2 stamp sets, some snowflake dies, white velvet 12 x 12 cardstock and some adorable Snowflake Trinkets. In this post I am showcasing 2 cards and a box made with the Snowflake Glistens Stamp Set and the Snowfall Thinlet Dies of which there are 20 in the pack.
I used a Brayer for the background of the first card. The basic colour is Balmy Blue.


I used the Brayer again on the second card with Pool Party, Coastal Cabana and Pacific Point Inks with a hint of Whisper White for the base of the tree. I stamped the tree in Versamark Clear and then used White Embossing Powder.


The box was cut out using the Window Box Thinlet Dies. The cardstock colour is Blueberry Bushel stamped with snowflakes in Whisper White Craft Ink.
We will be using these products at my next Craft Day on Saturday, November 17th. I still have 2 spaces so let me know if you would like to join us.
