Good Morning & Happy Christmas Crafty Friends
Are you finding life getting busier as we draw closer and closer to Christmas. So much to do, clean the house, plan for Christmas & post Christmas holidays, parties and celebrations to attend. Have you had less celebration events this year with Covid restrictions? We have. None for hubbies work this year and with my youngest completing school 2019, we have had none of that December school madness. It has been a bit blissful really, not that I don't enjoy a good party. Let's be honest. 2020 has been pretty draining on all of us. My husband has been and is away at the moment for work (he is working really hard while he is away. Very, very long days in high heat) so we are doing the tidy up and extended family Christmas without him tonight. He will return tired and with his body clock out of sinc having been working nights while away, so I think we will lay pretty low and let him recover. It's been a big, crazy, interesting year for all of us hasn't it!
Well let's slow down for just a minute while we read this. Grab yourself a cuppa and just breath. Take a few minutes for yourself and feel the colour, feel the art, relax & imagine the fun you can have during January and the holidays.
New & Exciting Upcoming January June 2021 Catalogue and SALE-A-BRATION
We are on the precipice (January 5, 2021) of the launch of our January-June 2021 Mini Catalogue and Sale-a-bration Catalogue. I can assure you they are PACKED with so many stunning stamp sets. There are some very current and gorgeous Designer Series Papers too. I really want you to get a hard copy of the catalogue. It will be available to download online from my blog site on December 5, but the paper copy is just so handy. You can mark your favourites and almost feel the products as you flick the pages and when you are finished with it, pass it onto a friend or keep it to glean ideas for making. Email me now and tell me you want me to post you a hard copy.
Simply Succulents
I have been playing with the new Simply Succulents Bundle. This set is in the new Jan-June 2020 Mini (available 5 January 2021) and although I can not yet show you the catalogue I am allowed to show you cards I have made. I have been having so much fun with it. This set has so much potential. Endless ideas brewing in my head to make.
On these two cards, I used the largest die in the set. I temporarily adhered the cut die piece of card onto a Whisper White layer piece and blended my colours onto them. Once I removed the die cut piece of card I was able to trim the die cut piece into smaller florets and layer them onto the card base. The butterfly is from the Dandy Lazer cut paper. The Sentiments and die cut Labels are from the Annual Catalogue.
For the right hand card I used the layered piece that I had blended on, from the previous cards and added some gold thread and adhered it to the card over a layer of Brights DSP. I finished it with a label and sentiment from the Simply Succulents Bundle.
The left hand card I have CASE'd from the new Jan-June2021 Mini. If you live in Australia and do not already have a demonstrator, I will be happy to send you one free if you Email me and ask.
Again I used some Brights DSP for my first layer. Second layer is stamped with a small succulent randomly over Whisper White. Next I have Used the Pot and Bunch of Succulents. I coloured them using my Stampin' Markers and adhered them to the top of the card using Stampin Dimensionals.
Press On Darling!

Kylie made it with the Press On Cling Stamp Set. It is retiring from the August December 2020 Mini Catalogue at the end of this month and is 10% off at the moment. There are not many left so if you like it you will need to be very quick before it is out of stock.
