More Christmas Decorations and simply stampin' challenge

The challenge this week over at the simply stampin' blog is Christmas which is very apt as I am sure we all have lots of Christmasy things to show off, I have made some more decorations for my tree which is looking very festive with lots of hand crafted decorations.  My lovely friend Val has just popped a round with a Christmas present for us, a beautifully decorated Christmas cake she made for us and some lovely gingerbread christmas trees and stars to hang on the tree. I will have to take some pictures before we eat them!
Here are some more little decorations I made using the season of joy stamp set and scallop circle and circle punches.  I put the little snowman on the grid paper and drew around it to know what size little box to make, punched holes in the side, stuck the scalloped circles on either side and hung them up using some silver thread.

I used bashful blue and tempting turquoise ink and card stock.  They look lovely on the christmas tree although I must say some of the snowmen seem to have melted away!

Christmas decorations

Just a quick post. I made some tiny little decorations to hang on the christmas tree. I made a tiny little box that sandwiched between two punched scallop circles decorated with the snowflake stamp from season of joy set.

More Season of Joy!!

One more season of joy project, I promise, (for now anyway!).  Another chocolate box card, this time I used some traditional Christmas colours, real red and olive green.  I randomly stamped a sheet of whisper white card then cut it out to use on the cards.

I used the oval frame embossing folderas the punched extra large oval fits perfectly inside.
For the second card I used the four frames stamp and matching punch for the centre topper.

Chocolate Treat card

I have made some more chocolate gift cards for the craft fair.  Funny how most of the things I make for the craft fair involve chocolate!
I have used the Season of Joy stamp set again, I love this set. I used my stamp-a-ma-jig to line up the word stamp for the background.

The first card uses night of navy and the second card bashful blue.  I used the scallop trim border punch for decoration.

Un-convention challenges

Stampin' Up are having their European Convention in Disney Land Paris this weekend and I am sure they are having a fantastic time. For those of us who haven't gone we are having a weekend of challenges on the In Love With Stamping Demo's Forum to keep us all busy. 
I have done a combination of yesterdays challenge which was to make a card and gift set and tonight's challenge which is in two parts:
Part one is to incorporate a repeated stamped image. This can be a picture or a sentiment, or both!
Part two is a form of colour repetition in that the colour theme is MONOCHROME. This means you can use any colour, but you must only use shades/hues of ONE colour (e.g. all blues, all greens etc). White is also allowed.
This my effort.  The card is a combination of card and treat box and holds three Elizabeth Shaw mints, it's yesterdays challenge as it has gold in.  I also made a bagalope which is a bag made out of an envelope.

I used chocolate chip and very vanilla card stock and chocolate chip ink and Season of Joy stamp set. For the card/treat box I also used the Dasher stamp, The Victorian lace is from our new catalogue and is gorgeous, I used an antique brad to secure it.

I made the bagalope out of a very vanilla envelope which is beautiful to stamp on. I used my stamp-a-ma-jig to repeat stamp the season of joy stamp on the top note and made the background with the swirl and tiny poinsettia and secured the top with crumb cake seam binding.
