Creative Expressions Thursday

Hi lovelies

Even though I am a couple of days before the end of the month with the permission of my pal's at Creative Expressions to save a little time as I am rushing for some show prep for the 3rd Nov I have started the next months DT items which for me is a Christmas theme with whatever stamps we have that are christmassy, we could have chosen the silhouette dancers also but I thought as I made all them lovely samples for Christmas for the show just gone i would show some of them over this month.

Ramble over haha so to begin...
I have actually two cards for you today as really this  first one which is my favourite, as it all wintery white and christmassy but really only has one stamp on it which is the sentiment, the rest is done with glitter, a mask and die cuts and as Creative expressions is all about stamping on the team I feel this one wouldn't be fair as much as I love it.

 I love the classy elegance of this colour scheme, it is so timeless and will work for all Christmas times till the end of days(slightly dramatic but hey) . It was created using the products I took onto C&C this week, the 6x6 mask with hanging baubles and Sue's two tone of glitter technique which I love, I also adore these new white flowers which as you saw take the spritzes so well also.

 Here is a close up and you can see the pin branch die from Couture Creations here with lots of white glitter added from the glitter jewels diamond snow. Some pearl bead string sets it off too.

The sentiment was from the Just rite signs of Christmas sentiment set and is perfect here in gold embossing to match the polished silk glitters.

Card number two in this Christmassy twofer is using the fabulous Applique Christmas labels one stamp set from Just Rite. Using the funky ginger bread person ( must be technically correct hey lol).

 I created this one by first stamped out the stitched stars background from Just rite which is so hard to see on camera but for once look how it picked up the glitter lol this was soooo gorgeous and sparkly.
I stamped out my candy canes and ginger bread image and I used the heart buttons to stamp on the tummy and colour all with distress markers.

 I also stamped out the gorgeous cute Poinsettia and kept it single as I wanted to show the shading and of course the little die cuts underneath for on the show. I also used the sentiment from the same Just rite set. The ribbon is the bright red crinkle edge although it looks a little orange on screen as it is against a darker red on the card but in person it is phone box red ( well old phone boxes haha)

 I tried every thing to get the red stamping on the background to show up but you can only just see it on here but I assure you it is there . Arrgggg.

Anyway I hope you like today's two Christmas cards and I look forward as always to reading your thoughts and comments which is always something at the end of the day I look forward too very much.
Today is back to the rain and cold as I am typing this (wed) so I am hoping we have a little more of that lovely sunshine from the weekend as it certainly helps to see the sun in the sky doesn't it.

Have a great day and see you with more info soon.

Love

Kim
