Whats your favourite Christmas Stamp set from the current catalogues?

I have managed to spend all afternoon in the craft room, that said it wasn't a particularly productive afternoon, I was trying to work out how I had made an Australian Gingerbread garland, I have a 2nd attempt drying so more about that tomorrow.

I eventually think I worked out what I had did wrong, so then I moved on to some more Ornaments keepsakes cards, so it looks like I have another favourite set.

So out of the two current catalogues what is your favourite set?

Whilst pondering the Australian Gingerbread Garland I came across a wonderful blog by a lady called Patty Bennett, she had made a great card using the Holiday frame embossing folder and the white shimmer paint. I cased the card & then changed the colour way for a slightly different look.

The glitter border is the glimmer paper that is great as it doesn't shed the glitter.

Although it is quite hard to see on the very vanilla cardstock I have used the white shimmer paint on a sponge dauber & rubbed it over the raised impression left from the holiday Frame embossing folder.

The colours used on all of the cards are from the new in-colours for 2012 -2014 Gumball Green & Raspberry Ripple

Do you have a favourite Stamp set that you always reach for?

A Little something

I forgot to share with you earlier in the week a little something I was given at last weeks training event, it's so cute it now has a blog post all of its own. 

The  die can be found on page 194 of the current catalogue.

It has been made using the Petite Pocket Bigz XL die for the big shot & a set of lovely stamps called Ornament Keepsakes.

How cute is that as a table favour for the Christmas Dinner table.
