Christmas in June ?


Using the dove image from Snowflake Splendour stamps sheet, stamped onto a background of Pan Pastels and Etched Flourish stamped round the edges

Morning everyone, hope your week is going well. A a warm welcome to my new followers, it's lovely to have you aboard.

As promised some shares of the samples I have been working on for Stamp Addicts next show on Create and Craft which is Tuesday 25th at 2pm. Christmas in June is hard going for me as I said the other day, but I managed to get the seasonal spirit going long enough to get my bundles of samples finished and on their way to Sarah.

Using the Noel stamp.....it's gorgeous and is a card all on it's own with very little added........stamped onto black gloss cardstock with Versafine and gold perfect Pearls dusted over.

Using the Christmas Pudding stamps from the Christmas Holly stamp sheet

Thanks for looking Peeps, have a good Thursday. Soon be the weekend again, wonder what the weather will have on store for us, lets hope it's a warm one.

    God morning Brenda.
    All these cards are absolutely stunning.
    Such pretty colours as well.
    We had temps of 26 yesterday and it was just beautiful.
    Today we have been forecast heavy thunder showers and Friday, Saturday and Sundy we have 93-97% chance of heavy rain.
    That's us down on the south coast anyway.
    Looks like a crafting week-end to me LOL
    Have a good day hun :)

    Fabulous cards Brenda. Love the shape of the first one and the lovely lilac colours. I have looked and looked but cannot make out how you did the fringe on the "Noel" one, it looks amazing. The third one is gorgeous too, love the holly hanging behind the bow. Michelle x

    You are amazing, Brenda. How were you able to make so beautiful Christmas card in summer time? In every November and December I think I could make Christmas cards all year around but in January I can think only for spring and summer cards.
    Your cards are stunning. I love them all. Liquid pearls on the last card looks like berries. So cool.
    Hugs

    It's your Noel that really grabs my attention - a real stunner that one. Super the way your ribbon in the last one echoes the holly on the pudding. The shining moon/sun behind the dove sets the scene so beautifully & aptly within the arch shape - like a church window.

    Beautiful Christmas cards Brenda. As you say it's difficult to think of Christmas in June. I have very few Christmas cards done so far. In fact I can't seem to find much time to do anything. To crown it all I'm out to a concert tonight and a car treasure hunt tomorrow.

    Three fabulous cards Brenda! I do love the simplicity of the gold and black, it's one of my favourite combinations. I need to get my arse in gear and start on the Christmas cards for the hospice craft fair soon, I've usually got loads left over from last year, but they all sold and I have to start from scratch this year! Thanks for the inspiration. Maddy x

    Oh! How unexpectedly Christmasy! Love it! The purple with the ornate window looks so pretty, Brenda, especially with the light stamping around the edges of your beautifully shaped card. Your Noel card is amazing! Love the gold beading/pearls - did you color them pearls yourself? It's a fabulous idea, and I'm glad you mentioned it. I especially like the muted strips in the tan/kraft colored holly die cuts in your last card. They are really pretty! Lovely cards, Miss B. hugs, de

    I haven't had a chance to really play with the dylusions yet Brenda! I've been busy and my mother got me into some of her winter cleaning and organizing and then today I had a doctor appointment! So yeah just haven't had any time! But this weekend I intend to get inky!!!!

    Love these Christmas cards, great idea to get in early! I really need to do that!

    They are all gorgeous! Love the purple dove, and the gold noel, and the figgy pud! yum.

    Beautiful cards, especially - for me - the first one. It's peaceful and shining.
    Christmas in June? Why not? I like Christmas. I adore Christmas. I love Christmas. In "Christmas Caroll" by Dickens is something like: "I love Christmas and I will honor Christmas in my heart all over the year"... or something like that, if I remember good... and if I wrote correct:-)
    I'm sorry for my English. Sorry sorry:-)
