Well hi!  I have just returned from a few lovely days in the South West camping in a gorgeous bush setting with some great surroundings and even better company. It’s the first time we’ve been away in the van for a few months and it was fantastic to get back into it and enjoy the relaxing lifestyle.  We saw some beautiful wildflowers amongst the walking tracks and although we were totally rugged up with scarves and beanies, it was nice to sit around the campfire at night toasting marshmallows!

Anway back to reality today with loads and loads of washing and unpacking but it was worth it.  I thought I’d share with you a couple of Christmas cards I made recently.  They are quite simple but effective and easy to reproduce if you need a lot! 

This is one I made for a Christmas theme swap a little while back.  As I am missing my Snowflake Spot which is now retired I think Snow Swirled has taken its place.  I just love it and it’s quite versatile with the number of stamps in the set.  

Stamp set:  Snow Swirled
Cardstock:  Old Olive, Whisper White
Inks:  Old Olive, Real Red
Accessories:  Circle Scallop punch, circle punches, wide Real Red grosgrain ribbon

This one is using the gorgeous Ski Slope designer papers, Tree Trimmings stamp set and Scallop Oval punch all new in the Spring Mini Catalogue.  I just love this card!   

Stamp set:  Tree Trimmings, Warm Words
Cardstock:  Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Baja Breeze, Whisper White
Inks:  Real Red, Baja Breeze
Accessories:  Ski Slope DSP, Oval scallop punch, Large oval punch, silver brads, glue pen, dazzling diamonds, wide Choc Chip grosgrain ribbon

Time is getting away from us and before we know it, it will be time to post those Christmas cards so I had better get cracking and get stamping my Christmas goodies!
