A flurry of warm wishes

This is the second of this week's posts where I have used some Designer Vellum in my project.

Today I'm featuring the Silver Vellum that is in the Holidays Fancy Foil Vellum pack. As I said on Monday, the pack contains 9 lots of 12" x 12" sheets - 3 each of 3 different designs.

I love this vellum and wanted to accentuate the silver snowflakes a little. I did this by using a piece of Soft Sky card stock behind it.

The Night of Navy and Soft Sky ink and card stock is lovely for Christmas cards and I used a combination of the two colours on the stamped snowflake. The centre of the snowflake is one of the winter Wonderland Embellishments.

I'll be making a few more of these cards to give to family for Christmas. I was tempted to post a few but the added embellishment means that it would have to be sent as a large letter. Oh well.

Details of the Stampin' Up! products that I've used are as follows:

I have one more vellum project to share with you and I'll be posting it in the next couple of days. In the meantime, please feel free to leave me a comment about my current project.

Holly Jolly Baker's Box

I realise that I've been AWOL this week and I'm sorry for this. It's just been one of those weeks in the Whitten household where everything seemed to have stopped working or was playing up. Nothing really major (although hot water is pretty important) but just things that were a complete nuisance when it comes to getting them fixed.

Yesterday I had one of my all day events down in my craft studio. It was a case of Christmas tags galore because everyone received an Oh What Fun Tag Kit together with the co-ordinating Oh, What Fun stamp set.

Busy, busy, busy

I have to say it was very quiet at times because everyone was beavering away making their 30 tags (3 each of 10 different sorts). Once the tags were finished everyone then made one of each type of tag into a co-ordinating card. This meant that everyone went home with 20 tags and 10 Christmas cards. A very satisfying result.

As a thank you for coming to the class there was a gift for everyone on the tables. My fabulous helper and downline Carol also received one.

The Baker's Box was made out of Soft Sky cardstock and the snowflake and greeting was stamped in Soft Sky.  The stamps all come from the Holly Jolly Greetings stamp set including all the little dots and stars. I used Dazzling Details on the greeting and large snowflakes (you can just about make out the sparkle) and left the little dots and stars alone. 

The box did of course have some chocolates in it. After all, you can't give an empty box.

I shouldn't forget all the little additions I added to finish the box off, including the cute Winter Wonderland Embellishments.
