Lucky you, sad me... Great Deal on Stamp Sets

There comes a time in a young stampers life when they have to go through the goodies and say goodbye. It's a sad time, but also a happy time. I get more space to fill with new goodies and you get new stamps to play with.

Also, as promised, here is card I just made using fabulous items from the new Holiday Mini Catalogue! The little red bird spins in the card!

This was so easy to make!

1. Cut Real Red cardstock to make a card 41/4" by 51/2".

2. Using one piece of Christmas Cocoa Specialty Designer Paper, cut it 41/8x52/8 and then cut in half lenghtwise.


3. Stamp the bird from Berry Christmas, Stamp twice onto Whisper White CS and punch out with the 11/4" circle punch.

4. Lightly adhere one of your DSP pieces to the front of your card. Using the 13/8" punch, punch through the Real Red card stock and the DSP.

5. To make the spinner card: Place 2 pieces of sticky strip on the back of one of your stamped bird circles. Take 2 pieces of twine, linen thread or here I used the Silver Elastic Cord and attach to the top and bottom of the bird image. Attach the 2nd bird image to the other side, making sure both birds are mirror image. Use more sticky strip to attach the spinner to the outside of the card, centering it in the punched circle. This will be covered by your DSP Layer.

6. Adhere the Real Red Ribbon to the two pieces of DSP, flipping the top piece over to show the alternate pattern on the DSP. Glue this to the front of your card, making sure the circle on your DSP matches the circle on your card stock.

The Sentiment panel is stamped onWhisper White from the Berry Christmas stamp set, The branch is Old Olive and the berries and sentiment are in Real Red. I sponged the edges in Real Red and then layered onto a piece of Soft Suede Cardstock. This was popped up using dimensionals. The cute little birdie is from the "Merry Details" Sizzlits.

My favourite things! The Christms Cocoa Paper is so cool! It has a flocking on some of the designs that makes it feel all velvety and also some of the designs are shimmery!

Next up : My first attempts at a scrapbook page and some Halloween goodies (guess who's order came in Friday!)

Remember : Book a party with me within the next 2 months and get one of the stamp sets from the Holiday mini for just $14 including Berry Christmas! That's more than 50% off!
