Bright & Beautiful Christmas Cards (Stampin' Up)

This morning I have been playing with a Stampin' Up double stamp set called "Bright & Beautiful"

On the black background card, I have heat embossed the stamped design using a Versamark pad and Papermania "Enchanted Gold" embossing powder.  The sentiment on this card is by Woodware.

On the white and pink card, I have stamped using a Ranger Adirondack Brights ink, in a shade of "Raspberry".  Again, the sentiment is by Woodware.

On the white and green card, I have stamped using a StazOn ink in the shade called "Emerald City".  The sentiment is from a Papertrey Ink set called "Winter Hills".

Snow Scene Christmas Card (Stampin' Up Softly Falling embossing)

I have continued my play with the stamps that came free with the Crafts Beautiful magazine. 

I've used a Stampin' Up embossing folder called "Softly Falling" for the background.

I stamped and then die cut the snow scene image, colouring it with water colour pencils.  At the base of the card, I added a sentiment using a Woodware stamp.  Finally, I punched some small snowflakes, adding them to the card and topping with some stickles glitter glue.

Here's a photo of the magazine and stamps, so you know what to look for in the shops if you also want to purchase it.

Teasel Card

I came across a card with a teasel on it and went in search of the stamp used.  It turned out to be a clear stamp by Woodware (JGS329 Teasels) which was quite cheap at £6 inc P&P.  I absolutely love this stamp.

I used a pre prepared Panpastel background and stamped the image using StazOn.  I think it's really effective.

I also made this card which I am less sure about.
