Hello, Crafters.
Yesterday was day three of the virtual 3-day Stampin’ Up! BackStage Event for leaders. Unfortunately, the hours weren’t exactly ideal for those of us live in Europe or South Pacific so I missed events because they went on too late and I really need my sleep!
The good news is that most events will be recorded so we can catch up a better time. It’s times like this I wish I was better organised and had made today’s video at the beginning of last week!
Today’s video features a card demonstrated by Iced Images in one of her videos. I loved the idea as soon as I saw it and CASE’d her card. I decided I wanted to make a Christmas card and re-sized the original card for the idea I had in my mind.
There were two sheets of Designer Series Paper (DSP) that were ideal for my design, too! I found the silver trees on a white background in Peaceful Place DSP and the white brickwork in Bloom Where You’re Planted DSP.
The half-made pink card in the photograph above is the card I made following Iced Images instructions. I’ve enclosed a photograph of it so you can see how different our two cards are. This is the link for for Iced Images video if you would like to see her card: Iced Images Video. Unfortunately, I’m having to keep today’s blog short and sweet so I can get everything done in time.
I hope you have a very blessed Sunday and I look forward to seeing you next time. Take care and stay safe. Happy crafting.

Love this card Jan. Adore the Santa’s. This would also be a great B-day card with the supports in the boxes & have flowers on acetate sticking up. Be well & TYFS
Many thanks, Claire. Funnily enough, yesterday I had the unfinished pink card sitting on my desk. The more I saw it, the more I liked it! I’ll be finishing it off! Take care and stay safe. xxx
Cute card. Thanks as always for doing the measurement conversion for your followers in NA.
Many thanks, Nola. Once I’d worked out the first card, I decided that most of the time it wouldn’t be too difficult. I’m glad the conversions help. xx xx
very cute card and will make it with the lambs – so very clever card.
Many thanks, Lynda. That’s an excellent choice! Enjoy! xx
