Oh my, I'm definitely not ready to think about Christmas, but it's a great way to motivate myself to get a start on my Christmas cards.
As this year's new Christmas products are not available until the 4th of Sept (although as a demonstrator we are able to order from the 6th of August :) I have used existing products. For this card I used the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set and a Blending Brush.
The first step I used to make this card is to make a mask with a circle punch and Masking Paper.
With a Blending Brush I gradually added Cherry Cobbler ink to the circle to create the bauble.
It's a bit hard to see in the photos but I coloured the small snowflake from the Sparkling Snowflakes set with my Wink of Stella Pen. I stamped three of the snowflakes on to the bauble.
The greeting is from the Greetings of the Season stamp set, one of the current Online Exclusives.
The cute little bow on the top of the ribbon is the Silver and White Sheer Ribbon and the hanger on the bauble is the silver from the Gold and Silver Trim Combo Pack.
All of these products are available through my online store.
It's time to hop to the next blog tonight which belongs to my very talented stamping friend Andrea Sargent.

Hello and welcome to week 14 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team. This week our featured colour is Bubble Bath. Bubble Bath recently entered our range in the last colour refresh. Bubble Bath is a lovely pale pink the is my go to colour for baby girl cards.
This week I have used Bubble Bath with the Layers of Beauty bundle to make a very special birthday card.
The stamp was coloured directly with the Stampin Write Markers so that I could stamp the flowers in Melon mambo and the leaves in Old Olive. The small daisy flowers were stamped in Azure Afternoon. I stamped on Bubble Bath card stock.
I cut the image in half so that I could have a piece of each side of the card instead of one main image in the middle.
I used a Deckled Rectangle Die to cut a rectangle to attach the flowers to. I ended up re cutting this piece from a piece of Bright and Beautiful DSP and dry embossing for a little more interest. A couple of the leaves are outside the die so that they will extend over the edge of the rectangle.
I cut the letters using the Mini Alphabet Dies from White Glimmer Paper. I coloured the letters using a Blending Brush and Melon Mambo ink. The Happy Birthday is from the Best Family Ever stamp set. I used this set regularly as it has numerous greeting that are very versatile.
