Celebrate the Season - Creation Station Design Team Blog Hop

It's the Creation Station Blog Hop time.

We are in December, and we are 'Celebrating the Season'.
You may have hopped from the amazing Andrea, and I love having you here.
Enjoy the Design Teams creations...

I have created some cards using an Australian Christmas Carol called 'Six White Boomers'.

Boomers are large kangaroos - so can you guess which stamp set I have used?

Here is one of the 'White Boomers'. 

A pouch filled with Christmas gifts and a Teddy Bear.

Yes, the gifts were coloured, then fussy cut.

I stamped the Santa sack full of gifts and a teddy bear, and coloured in using 'Stampin' Write Markers'. Then armed with my trusty Paper Snips, I got to work fussy cutting. (I made a total of 10)

'Six white boomers, snow white boomers.

Racing Santa Claus through the blazing sun.

Six white boomers, snow white boomers

on his Australian run.'

Click here for the lyrics and song.

'Ho! Ho! Ho! 

Who needs snow?'

I have used the '2018-2020 In Color Designer Series Paper' for the colourful backgrounds. Non-traditional Christmas colours, but lovely and bright for the White Boomers.

There is another reason I created these cards.

This past Friday and Saturday nights, I had a stall at the

 'Made in Kiama Handmade Night Market'.

For the past 6 weeks I have been creating up a storm with as many cards and gift tags

 that I could manage. 

I had the best 2 nights, reuniting with Market friends old & new, 

and the best customers, EVER!

This is my very last White Boomer Christmas card, and it sold. Some are off overseas; Canada, UK & Jakarta! That just makes my heart sooooooo happy!

My set up half way through Friday night. There was no time for a selfie/Facebook live or a photo of my stall set up.

Next on the hop is my gorgeous friend, Tanya from Queensland. 

You are going to love her amazing project.

And this is Tanya and I when we attended OnStage in Brisbane 3 weeks ago! Love her. D x

Inspire.Create.Stamping Challenges - 'Colour' Challenge #031

Welcome to the Inspire.Create.Stamping Challenges 'Colour Challenge' #031
We hope you can join in with our Challenge, and we are looking forward to seeing what you make!
Add your creation to our gallery here.

I love the colours for this Challenge; especially the Copper!

I have created a recipe card.

 I have used the Baking Santa from the 'So Santa' stamp set, only colouring the holly on his hat, apron, cookies & cooking utensils - using a Blender Pen.

And a touch of 'Copper Foil' for the panels.

Inside the note card is a recipe for 'Lebkuchen' - Classic German Gingerbread made at Christmas time. 

I have been baking from this recipe for years, and I hope you get a chance to make it for your family & friends this Christmas.

And a decorated 'Baker's Box' full of Lebkuchen! 

(My all-time favourite treat to bake at Christmas time)

I absolutely love the 'Merry Merlot & Copper Reversible Ribbon' wrapped around the 'Merry Merlot' cardstock belly band! The ribbon adds a lovely touch to pretty up the box.

A super cute note card & 'Baker's Box' full of treats for giving at Christmas.

Thankyou for visiting, and I hope to have inspired you with my 'So Santa' creations? See you for the next Challenge. D x

Colour INKspiration #CI43

The Colour INKspiration Colour Challenge #43 is using the 2018-2020 In Color Collection. We hope you get creating and join in the fun, and you could be chosen as a Guest Designer!

You can add your creations to our gallery here.

Congratulations to one of our Guest Designers for this Challenge, Jan Clothier. 

You may have hopped to me from Jan's blog and her amazing creation?, or have started here. Welcome.

Choose 1, 2, 3, 4 or all 5 of the 2018-2020 In Colors - I have managed to use all 5 colours for my creation.

You can also include Basic Black, Very Vanilla, Whisper White & Metallics.

I just love the 'So Santa' stamp set from the Holiday Catalogue.

Here he is decked out in his 'Lovely Lipstick' suit, racing around on his 'Grapefruit Grove' scooter. 

Complete with a 'Call Me Clover' sack full of 'Pineapple Punch' wrapped presents, tied with 'Blueberry Bushel' bows!

I have paper-pieced the suit & hat, scooter, sack, presents and large bow. Everything else I coloured with '2018-2020 Stampin' Write Markers'.

 Also paper-piecing with 'Silver foil' for the wheels, light, belt buckle & sunglasses.

For paper-piecing you need your trusty 'Paper Snips' and lots of patience to sit and fussy cut the images. If you're not up to the task, then get your colouring on with the 'Stampin' Write Markers'.

*The bear was coloured with 'Stampin' Blends Markers' in 'Light Lovely Lipstick' and 'Crumb Cake Combo'.

'Just scooting by with a Christmas hi!'
And that 'Corrugated Dynamic TIEF' background is a lovely addition for the card front.

Next up is my gorgeous friend, Nikki, and her stunning Christmas creation. You will definitely want to CASE Nikki's card.

Thankyou so much for paying me a visit. Enjoy hopping!
