Festive spirit

As Christmas is creeping up on us rather more quickly, here are some more festive cards! We did this style at SU training in September using Contempo Christmas and the Ornament punch so I decided to do some more using the pretty Jolly Holiday DSP. The Delightful Decorations stampo set with several bauble designs and the punch are available as one of the Christmas bundles with free ribbon - pefect!
Only two sleeps now until I head off to SU Convention 2010. I'm pretty much all sorted with swaps and clothes and soooo excited to spend two whole days with around 300 fellow demos!

Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree ...

I tried something a bit different the other day and made this little Christmas tree. It's just a polystyrene cone, with squares of paper taped together corner to corner to make little cones and pinned in. The star has a cocktail stick in the middle which is pushed in the top. The papers are from the Jolly Holiday and Regals DSP stacks. I'm ALMOST thinking properly about Christmas now, but still too much to do before then!

Bauble barmy

I am loving the Stampin' Up! Contempo Christmas stamp set and matching Ornament punch. They are ideal for quick and fun cards. We made one of these cards at team training at Julie's the other week and I decided to make more. As well as the stamp set I used the Jolly Holiday DSP for some of the baubles. I love this stack - it is red, green, vanilla and pink with spots and stripes and good for other occassions as well as Christmas.
Today I'll be doing more crafty things and watching the F1 so expect more goodies in the week.
