Christmas in Creative Stamping

This month we have been lucky enough to have five projects printed in a feature in Creative Stamping magazine.

A Berry Merry Christmas

Holly Wreath and Merry Christmas

Noel Bells and Love & Kisses

 All the cards were made using the Crimson Cloud Christmas 2013 stamp release - find all four stamp sets here.

Bells, Boughs and Bows

This week Linda has been getting in the Christmas spirit and playing with three of the Crimson Cloud Christmas stamp sets.

For her first card she has chosen a lovely colour palette of pale blues and browns - very unusual!

She has combined the Pine Bough and Fir Cones stamp set 

with the Noel Bells stamp set

She has stamped a subtle background with the pine boughs, and the fir cones look so striking stamped in brown.

For her second card, she has created an very elegant wreath

by stamping and embossing it in white, and combining it with the wreath bow stamped and embossed in silver. To add that extra bling, she has replaced the berries with silver beads.

We hope you like and are inspired by this week's samples.

Design Team Christmas Cards - part two

Some more Christmas inspiration from the Crimson Cloud Design Team!

Cheremane produced a very classy card -

using the Pine Boughs and Fir Cones stamp set

Sandra created this magnificent front door to frame her Holly Wreath -

She used the four-step Holly Wreath stamp set

Linda took the bow from the Holly Wreath stamp set to create her masterpiece

She very cleverly incorporated the sentiments from all four Christmas stamp sets to create her background.

Debs framed her Mistletoe stamp

using a Spellbinder Heirloom Ornaments die for her luxurious creation

I made the final card for today

using the Noel Bells

and the Pine Boughs and Fir Cones stamp sets

We hope you have fun with the stamp sets and are inspired by these samples.

Christmas Inspiration from the Design Team

This month the design team have been crafting up a storm with the new Crimson Cloud Christmas stamp sets.

The first set of samples are very traditional using the classic green and red theme.

Cheremane starts us off using the Pine Boughs and Fir Cones stamp set

and created a fabulous background for her card

Debs really had fun with the Mistletoe stamp set

and cleverly inked her mistletoe stamp in two colours to create her bow in red:

Linda also used the Mistletoe stamp set to for her card

She stamped the main image in green, then restamped the bow in red on a separate piece of card and cut it out to add dimension.

Sandra was experimenting with the new Holly Wreath  4 step stamp set

and created this beautiful hanging wreath card

Lisa has been thinking out of the box again with the Noel Bells stamp set

 and created her own Christmas tree ornament

I hope you have fun with these new stamp sets and are inspired by the girls' creativity!
