Stampin' With Michelle Pepper

Two days till Christmas! Isn't this the cutest stamp??? The Gang's All Meer is a stamp set you can only get during Sale-a-bration which begins on 3rd January, and the best part of it is that it is one of the FREE items you may choose when you order a minimum of $110. I just couldn't wait till the New Year to show you this stamp set and so I made some Christmas cards with it. The stamp I used actually only has 5 meerkats, so in order to achieve this look I have used the Masking Technique. I do not have a santa hat stamp image so I hand drawn and coloured in the santa hats, then used our Snowfall Accents Puff Paint to add the white fur and pompoms. (ps: I just saw that we have sold out of this Puff Paint product!) Below is another version - this time with less meerkats and instead of hand drawing on the santa hats, I used the party hat stamp that comes in the stamp set. How cute are these meerkat carolers singing Joy To The World!   Below is ve...

A handmade Christmas card to love! Just a few elements came together to make this beautiful card: 1. a pattern paper from the Let It Snow Designer Series Paper (also other cards I have been making with these papers here and here ) matted on to either Pool Party or Crumb Cake card base; 2. the vellum was punched out using the 2" circle punch and embossed with the Scripty 3D embossing folder . 3. The focal point, the regal Real Red reindeer is from the Dashing Deer stamp set , and cut with its coordinating die from the Detailed Deer dies set.  4. The "holly" were diecuts out of the Christmas Layers Dies set dotted with red berries aka metallic pearls that I have coloured with Real Red Stampin Blends . 5. Lastly, the sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set. Easy as does it ! Thanks for stopping by. I hope you come back again soon, I have more Christmas cards to share ! Blessings, M xx

An acorn wreath - who would have thought of this! 💗 This is almost a complete CASE of Krista Frattin's card which she showed us in the Crafty Carrot Collective back in October. The acorn images were the one I could not think of how to use on a card, so when Krista showed her idea - man, I was like, get this made straightaway! (Yes, I have had this post in the draft waiting to go live, since October! Oh well, better late than never.) Supplies used: Stamps: Perfectly Plaid (#149418) Ink: Sahara Sand, Crumbed Cake,  Soft Suede, Early Espresso Paper: Crumbed Cake Card Stock, Whisper White Card Stock, Gold Foil Card Stock, Let It Snow Specialty Designer Series Paper Dies: Merry Christmas Other: Linen Thread, Metallic Pearls, Aqua Painter

Hello from sunny Auckland, New Zealand! It's always a bit of a discord to make and send snowy Christmas cards locally but I simply can't help it. It may be because I have never experienced a White Christmas that all things snowy and sparkly is magical and very Christmassy for me. And well, it's pretty hot here at the moment, so I'm sure my recipients would be transported to a dreamy cold place when they first open their mail - even if only for a brief moment! Well this year Stampin' Up! offers a very cute set of Designer Series Paper called Let It Snow which I have used to very quickly and simply make a bunch of fun Christmas cards. Stamps (any Christmas greeting, and "Thinking of you" is always appropriate for any occasion!), ink (featuring Blueberry Bushel) and paper. That's all you need, y'all! #simplestamping, Stamps/ink/paper- have you given it a go? Whether you are a beginner stamper or a seasoned and avid stamper,  #simplestamp...
