Ok, so ‘The Season’ hasn’t quite arrived yet, but the time to start on your Christmas cards has! I know that Christmas prep has well and truly started in our house; lists of presents, thoughts of making Christmas Cake (chose not to bother, just defrosted 1 tier of our wedding cake instead!), plans for Christmas day, questions about which days we are working and which days are ours! as well as the endless debate over the colour theme for this year! So, maybe Tis the Season still fits….
So because we are now in the lead up to ‘The Season’ I’ve been put on a No Spend! Does this happen to anyone else? Where you are not allowed to buy anything before Christmas? I mean, we are really trying to save for our house deposit at the moment too, but anyway I am on an enforce ‘No Spend!’ and so I have only actually bought 3 stamp sets from the Autumn / Winter catalogue (and choosing which ones I was going to have was REALLY hard!) Anyway, the Christmas Pines bundle was my MUST HAVE set in this catalogue, and I have already made a heap of cards with this set. I have another coming this week if you are subscribed to my Weekly Emails.
So, this card uses the Christmas Pines bundle, along with the Presents and Pinecones Designer Series Paper (Yum! by the way!) and the Emerald Envy Ombre Stamp pad, oh and a trio of In Colour Enamel Shapes.

I have been having so much fun play with the Present and Pine-cones Suite from the new catalogue (page 18-22), and am totally in love with the idea of an Emerald Envy Christmas this year! I am not usually a green and red sort of person, I love a cool Christmas of blues, purples and silver, but this colour might just have me converted!
The front panel of this card was embossed twice using the Pine Bough Embossing Folder to create an almost fully embossed panel. Really this card is pretty simple, with a few die cuts and some copper embossing (more of that on Monday!), but I think this would be a super easy card to make a few of for friends and colleagues for Christmas

Now onto my sneak-peak! This simple gift tag uses a stamp from the Peace This Christmas stamp set (Annual catalogue) but is heat embossed in Glitter Embossing Powder – yes, that’s glitter that doesn’t come off! Yay! I’ve only had a quick play with this stuff so far, but I can safely say I would expect a VERY glittery Christmas this year if you’re coming to my house!
The main panel on this card uses the largest sentiment from Peace this Christmas heat embossed in bold. The snowflakes are then stamped over the top in Night of Navy and Smoky Slate, and a trio of Metallic Enamel Shapes added.
