I can't believe it's been 4 months since I've joined in the Jem's Blog Hop! Think my New Year's Resolution needs to be to blog more often & share more lovely Stampin' Up! products with you.<br />
<br />
Our theme for the month of December is, not surprisingly, Christmas Decorations or anything you would make to decorate the home or Christmas table.<br />
<br />

A couple of months ago I promised my class ladies that we would do some candle embossing in my All Day Christmas Event & the <a href="https://www2.stampinup.com/ecweb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=144804" target="_blank">Carols Of Christmas</a> stamp set is perfect for this project. All of my class ladies received this stamp set in their product bundle so they'll be able to make lots more of these possibly for Christmas gifts. To finish off the candle they used the gorgeous <a href="https://www2.stampinup.com/ecweb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=144624" target="_blank">Black & White Striped Ribbon</a> & the ever so cute <a href="https://www2.stampinup.com/ecweb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=144627" target="_blank">Green Sprigs.</a><br />
<br />

These shadow frames were very popular as well & are ever so easy to make. Again we used the Green Sprigs to form the wreath & the ribbon for the hanger. The frame was finished off with the gorgeous <a href="https://www2.stampinup.com/ecweb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=144623" target="_blank">Merry Music Speciality Designer Series Papers</a> which are so versatile.<br />
<br />

<br />
Both of these frames were made using the same Carols of Christmas stamp set in different ways. The little ornaments really finish off the <a href="https://www2.stampinup.com/ecweb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=145411" target="_blank">Crumb Cake</a> version I think.<br />
<br />
Hope you've enjoyed my projects & will hop along to Uma's blog which has the fab name of A Sense Of Uma . . . . . . .<br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia";">My first idea was a card using the new Stampin' Up! Eastern Palace Suite as the images are intended to produce patterns on your projects. There are so many possibilities with this suite of products & I've only touched on a tiny part of what can be done with these stamp & have lots of ideas for more projects.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I've used 3 of the new 2017-2019 In Colors on this card to show how well they co-ordinate together, Fresh Fig, Lemon Lime Twist (my absolute favourite!!) & Berry Burst. I think these new colors are going to be really popular.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Because this stamp set</span><span style="font-family: "georgia";"> is polymer it is super easy to stamp so many fabulous pattern combinations.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This product suite also has a set of fab Gold Vinyl Stickers which add a touch of elegance to your projects. I've used one of the border stickers across the top of the stamping on this card.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia;">The little easels are so cute & just the right size for the Marquee Messages arrow & the main image which has several messages that can be stamped onto it. I've blinged the arrow to the max with Stampin' Up! Rhinestones which really make this project pop. I've paperpieced/layered some parts of the main image & coloured some in with Stampin' Up! Markers to co-ordinate with the piece from the 'A Little Foxy' paper stack I've used to wrap around the easel.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia";">This month's hop is all about the men . . . . . . . . can I hear you groaning? I know most people find men's cards the most difficult to make so hopefully you'll get lots of inspiration on your journey around the Jem's Blogs today.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I also made a spring flower Easter card using the Flourish Thinlets. I've cut the leaves in Pear Pizzazz & the flowers in Watermelon Wonder, Peekaboo Peach & Sweet Sugarplum. The Lace Doily from the Spring/Summer Catalogue has been coloured using a Sponge Brayer and the Watermelon Wonder ink pad. A really quick & easy way to colour the doilies to match your project. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It's a really useful size bag made using 2 12" x 12" sheets of Carried Away Designer Series Papers which are FREE during Sale-a-Bration. These papers are lovely & really complement the stamp set & dies. If you would like to view a video tutorial of how to make this bag please go to Julie Kettlewell's video on YouTube <a href="https://youtu.be/1L6TO1htITI" target="_blank">HERE</a>. </span><br />

My first project is using one of the white gift boxes which are so easily overlooked in the catalogue. I saw this project on my team mate Amanda Bates' blog & decided I wanted to make a birthday version but using the Sending Love Designer Series Papers. <br />

Wow! Where did that year go? It doesn't seem like 2 minutes since we were getting excited about the new Spring/Summer Catalogue & Sale-a-Bration in January 2016 & here we are a year later.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well I say it every time a new catalogue comes out but this has got to be the best Spring/Summer Catalogue so far & the Sale-a-Bration choices are fab too. </div>

I've used one of my favourite Sale-a-Bration sets for 2 of the projects I'm going to share with you today. Well the 'Hey Chick' stamp set certainly wasn't one of my favourites when I first looked at the brochure but after seeing a few projects on Pinterest it moved straight to the top of my 'must have' list & the fact that it was FREE is even better!</div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I found this card on Pinterest & loved the doodle art frame around the card so wanted to give it a go. I think it adds a fun bit of detail & is so simple to do.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The background flourish looks so lovely stamped with Versamark & embossed with Copper Embossing Powder. I haven't bought the Copper Card yet but that will definitely be on my shopping list for my next order. </span><br />

I've made quite a few of these handbag cards since Amanda Bates at the Craft Spa put the instructions on her blog. It's so easy to make but so effective. You can find the instructions <a href="http://thecraftspa.blogspot.co.uk/2016/03/handbag-mini-book-tutorial-for-memory.html">here</a>.<br />

This was an extra special one I made for my eldest daughters 21st birthday. She loves her handbags so I knew straight away that I'd be making one of these cards for her. I used the bag card to give her a gift of a necklace she wanted & it was the ideal size inside.<br />

I've had a bit of a Thinlets & Framelits frenzy with this bag but if you can't throw everything at a card for such a special birthday when can you?<br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Always love Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight & Old Olive together. Great colour combo.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Here is the last of the cards from my Shaker Card Class.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This was a card I saw on Pinterest & loved the way the Hello You Thinlets were used over the front of the acetate & then the birthday wording stamped in Stazon on the acetate itself.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This time I used the Layering Squares Framelits to create the window. More action with the Sprinkles Punch & Brights Sequins (those sequins certainly go a long way & there are still loads left!!) & the card is finished.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I'll confess to using retired papers on this & the first card but it was perfect for these Shaker Cards & my ladies don't mind using retired products.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The second card from my Shaker Card class is this star shaker.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Again using the Sprinkles Punch, Confetti Celebrations stamp set and Brights Sequins but this time using the Star Framelits to create the shaker shape.</span></div>

The first one I'm sharing is a see through shaker card and I found the instructions <a href="http://www.louisesharp.com.au/2014/07/shake-shake-shake.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed:+LouiseSharp+(Louise+Sharp)&m=1">here</a>. They are super easy to follow.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Also included in the class was the Sprinkles Punch which I've used together with the Brights Sequin Assortment to create the shaker part.</div>

New to this year's catalogue is the fab Foam Adhesive Strips which makes shaker cards super easy to make. It's slightly deeper than normal foam tape/pads to give the confetti more room to shakey shakey!</div>
