Tartan Stampers Christmas Blog Hop

You may have arrived on my blog from here. My Fantastic upline, Dawn's Blog.
Myself and my other talented friends having been busy making Christmas items using the fantastic Stampin up products.
I recently decorated my hallway and wanted to make something christmasy for my new hall table.  I found this fantastic picture frame for £5 at my local factory shop.  I immediately knew that I wanted to use the "Welcome Christmas" set from SU and the "Christmas Cocoa" papers that are available in the amazing BUNDLE OFFER


Wreath stamped in Soft Suede ink onto whisper white CS.  Berries highlighted with SU red glitter. Real red ribbon.

Wreath stamped as before.  Sentiment stamped in versamark
 and embossed with SU gold embossing powder.  Edge embossed with heat and stick and dazzling diamonds.

leaf from bird punch in soft suede.  Berries made using tombow glue and glitter.

image stamped in versamark and embossed with SU gold powder

Background - patterned paper stamped with wreath image.  Berries SU red glitter.  Imaged stamped in soft suede ink onto whisper white CS.  Punched out using large ornament punch.  Edges inked and then card covered in versamark, heat and stick then dazzling diamonds.

Wreath stamped as previously.  "JOY" sentiment stamped and embossed then cut out and "popped" with dimensionals.

I also wanted to share with you Christmas Candles I made earlier this year.  I used my favourite Baroque Motif stamp set and Real Red and Old Olive inks.  I even made a matching card!

Please follow on this blog hop by visiting Carolyn here and see what she has been making!

Thanks for looking
