Christmas Stampathon - January

Hi and welcome back.....

Last night, I finally got to craft for the January Christmas 'Stampathon' Challenge, albeit at the 11th hour !  On 25th of every month, the above Facebook group HERE will post a new challenge for the month and we are all creating to get ahead with some Christmas cards.  If you fancy joining in, please click on the link and add yourself to the group.

This month the topic was being 'frugal' using up stash, scraps, bits 'n pieces, whatever we liked.

The Under The Mistletoe Designer Series Paper is in the current Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue and so has been with us a while.  I was certainly a popular choice last Autumn/Winter, hence me having lots of scraps needing some love.

The circles were cut using the smallest circle from Stitched Shape Framelits.  The ones that were raised on Stampin' Dimensionals, were also stuck onto a white 1-3/8" circle punch, to support. 

The sentiment is from Mistletoe Season and the coordinating cardstock pack is also listed below.

You probably can't see in the photo, but the Basic Black card background has also been splattered very gently with Wink of Stella Glitter Brush, to give a little bling.

I'm really fired up to create a little bit of Christmas every month and perhaps you might too.   Enjoy the rest of your day and feel free to leave comments on my post below.

Ink Stamp Share : Sale-A-Bration

Welcome back to our Ink, Stamp & Share Blog hop, joining myself here in Norfolk, UK and other fellow Demonstrator colleagues around the Globe.

Today I'm using Home To Roost for the first time.  This is a FREE stamp set as one of your Sale-A-Bration choices with a £45 spend.

I love the technique of making a static image look like it's moving.  Stamp the solid image to the right hand side and then move a tiny bit to the left, with repetitive motion until the ink runs out ! 

Here is a close up so you can see in more detail.

Next is my colourful rooster, stamped and coloured using the Stampin' Blends listed in the products below.

This close up shows the Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies, which is fast becoming one of my new favourites.  I simply love the way the stitching is on the inside and outside of your piece.  Using two together makes this lovely frame. 

I hope you have enjoyed my projects today and perhaps create some of your own.

Please click on the 'next' button below to hop to Janey and see what amazing creations she has for you today.
