Stampin Up!®Demonstrator Donna Gray Using The Beachy Little Christmas Stamp

Beachy Little Christmas Stamp is Perfect for the Aussie Xmas!!

Hi Welcome to my blog I am Donna Gray & I am a 
Stampin Up!®Demonstrator from the Northern Rivers In New South Wales Australia 
I love Christmas & I think it is the most exciting time to make cards as they are all so beautiful. I was asked quite often last year at the markets where I sell my hand made cards if I had some Christmas Cards that were more Aussie themed eg Kangaroos Koala's or the beach. Well you can imagine my excitement when I layed my eyes on The Beachy Little Christmas Stamp Set. 
I created this card using some sponging techniques for the background.

I made the base from our Bermuda bay Card stock Then layered with a layer of Melon Mambo Card Stock. Then on the Whisper White piece of card stock I cut a piece of copy paper to the shape of the sand dunes & sponged with Crumb Cake Ink I also sponged a circle up the top of the layer to look like a sun. For the water & sky I used Marina Mist Ink Pad & Soft Sky Ink Pad for the sky.
I Heat embossed the Beachy Christmas Tree & the Beach hut using VersaMark Ink Pad  & Silver embossing Powder I then used my Aqua Painters & Ink Pads to colour my images.
To finish off the front I stamped the sentiment with Early Espresso Ink Pad.
I have made a video tutorial for this card if you would like to

Stampin Up! Lovely Floral Deep Impressions Embossing Folder & the Love What you do Stamp Set

You are going to love this Sponged Embossed Card using our new Lovely Floral Deep Impressions Embossing Folder..... This deep impressions embossing folder is to die for I so so love that you can do so many different things with it. I have enjoyed using either the embossed side or the debossed side. You can sponge it with daubers Ink it directly in the embossing folder & you can even use a sponge Brayer to get several different looks depending on what side of the embossed image you use So many uses I am sure you will not get tired of using this folder.... I have used a combination of The New In Colour Grapefruit Grove & Old Olive  with our Sponge Daubers to colour the lovely floral embossed image Make sure you don't have too much ink on your daubers as you only want a hint of colour on your embossed image This is a deep impressions embossing folder so remember to only use your base plate & 1 cutting pad to put your folder through the Big Shot Machine
