Merry Monday Christmas Challenge #123 Wondrous Wreath

It was time to have a play with all the new Stampin' Up! goodies I had purchased from the Holiday Catalogue and my first was the Wondrous Wreath stamp set and matching Wonderful Wreath Framelits Dies.

I watched the below video and this inspired this card and also fits nicely into the Merry Monday Christmas Challenge #123 Wreaths.  To make the background I inked up some white ink onto the Decorative Dots Textured Impression Embossing Folder and just pressed it onto the Crumb Cake card stock and I think it turned out great.

Another great tip is to use a piece of wax paper in between the framelit and cardstock and it pops out with sticking.

Check out this video to give you tips to cut out the Wondrous Wreath which is a photopolymer set

which makes 2 step stamping so easy and then using the matching framelit dies

Freshly Made Sketches: Sketch #149 & Zoo Babies

I had a request from a friend for a copy of the annual catalogue, so I thought I would make a quick card to go with it (she has 2 young daughters and I thought they will love the zoo babies stamp set).

The Designer Washi Tape make cards so quick and easy but oh so effective and they are inexpensive at 3 rolls for $8.95 and you get 4.6 metres of each colour and that makes lots of cards.

Earlier in the day I went and visited a few blogs and noticed this Freshly Made Sketches so I thought I would make a card that fits this challenge.

This card was a Winner on the Freshly Made Sketches, it was Narelle Farrugia's Choice, her lovely comment was "I love Kathryn's super-cute combination of colours, embossing & image! Congrats!"

Stamp Set: Zoo Babies, Gorgeous Grunge
Ink:  Tangerine Tango, Coastal Cabana
Cardstock: Coastal Cabana, Whisper White
Accessories:  Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack, Large Polka Dot Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine, Retro Fresh Designer Washi Tape, Summer Starfruit Thick Baker's Twine (retired)

Close up of my Card, 

I love these animals for all ages groups but especially children.
