Happy New Year!

...and what better way to welcome in the New Year than with a Christmas Card, right?! Well, not exactly, but I just realised that I didn't blog my 2014 Christmas Card. I made 280 of these, hence its simplicity!

I used the Santa Sleigh image from Holiday Home and greeting from Endless Wishes. Both of these sets are still available to order, but for 2 more days only! The Holiday Catalogue finishes on January 5. Then we welcome in a brand new Occasions Catalogue and Sale-a-Bration brochure on the 6th January.
I'll be back with more about that, and how you can get your hands on a copy very soon.

Tree Card Display

It's been a little quiet on the blog front lately, but there's plenty going on over on my facebook page at the moment. I'm feeling very spoilt, and very blessed....some of my gorgeous team members have been at it again and I've been getting a little Curvy Keepsake treat every day. I'll be sharing each one daily on my facebook page... be sure to "like" the page to stay updated!
And just so the blog doesn't feel too neglected, here's the Christmas Card Tree I've got displayed at the moment:

I found the Wire Tree frame from Bunnings in the outdoor section when I was buying mulch for the garden, and couldn't resist it. It's actually designed to hang outside and isn't intended for cards at all. For $20, I thought it was worth buying to see if I could make it work for cards. At the register, it scanned at $10, so that was a nice surprise....and even better, it works perfectly for cards (I built a little stand for it so it can sit on a tabletop).

Festival of Trees Tag Card

I love the versatility of the Festival of Trees stamp set. On this card I've used the dotted 'ornament' stamp to make a spotty background.
I made a happy discovery when I was punching my tag shapes...the Note Tag Punch fits nicely inside the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch!
And here's a quick TIP if your greeting is too long for the Word Window Punch: Punch twice to make a longer window, and then pop your sentiment behind.
The colours I've used here are Soft Sky, Lost Lagoon and Pear Pizzazz.

Bokeh Baby Card

I've seen lots of gorgeous samples around, using the 'bokeh' technique, and I was dying to try it for myself. It's lots of fun, and comes out differently each time.
I made this card for a dear friend who recently had a beautiful baby girl, and then I demonstrated the technique at a recent Team Meeting.

Ornamental Pine Blues

I love the Ornamental Pine stamp set. I've made a few card designs in traditional colours, and I wanted to try it in some non-traditional colours. For this stamp-a-stack, I've used Pool Party and Island Indigo, and I have to say, I really like the effect.
I've used the Window Frames framelits, but just used the centre part of the shape. To do the stamping, I placed the white Window Frame shape over the top of my main white piece and stamped the pine needle image. Then the Pool Party Window Frame piece covers the 'gap'.

Trim the Tree Stamp-a-Stack

This week I am holding my very last Stamp-a-Stack Classes for the year. It's always sad when they wind up for the year, but I find the last few weeks of the school term and the lead up to Christmas is so busy that I just can't fit it all in. I feel very lucky to have a job that's so flexible!
This is a simple set of cards using the Tree Punch and Trim the Tree Designer Series Paper Stack. Instead of using the punched-out tree shapes, I've used the negative and let the patterned paper show through.
