Mel's Creative Creations

I really do love the Santa's Workshop suite. I was in need of some more Christmas cards and made these. The last card is actually made from a retired stamp set. I really enjoy that stamp set so I kept it to use for my personal use. I also love how you can make a festive envelope with the speciality designer paper from Santa's Workshop. I got my inspiration of the cards using Santa's Workshop from the Holiday Catalog. A reminder that catalog is good until January 2nd.

I belong to a Stampin' Up! group called Luv2Stamp. A week or so ago we got together and had a stamping day. These are the makes and takes we did. Our hostess also provided us with a bag of goodies and a personal cloth bag that she made for all of us! I think that cloth bag will come in handy for storing the Stamparatus. But I did hear that Stampin' Up! has made a bag for such a purpose. I wanted to encourage you if you can to get together with your crafty friends whether its with Stampin' Up! or something else. Its a relaxing thing and you get to do something creative and make pretty cards as in this case. Most of the projects I made can be found in our Holiday Catalog. Down below I will have a list of items that we used as I remembered them.  Hope you find time to be creative!

This suite wasn't even in my radar when I first saw the Holiday Catalog. But once I got a better look of it I had to have it! These cards were fun to make and I love how cute they turned out. One thing I did like is how the dies coincide with the designer series paper and I was able to cut out the santa with the list. I also was able to make snowflakes from the dies. This design as a whole reminds me of the Christmas specials I would watch as a child. If these items appeal to you, you can get supplies here  Online Store  Down below are better pictures of the supplies I used. Thank you for stopping by!

Its never to early to think about Christmas! I have been making an attempt to showcase items that are retiring. This stamp set and punch are both still available.  In fact the punch is on a discount! I didn't totally case this card but I was inspired by looking at the annual catalog of 2017-18. Our new catalog goes live on June 1st. There are a lot of exciting items coming your way soon. If you'd like to get these items for your own stash you can do so here  Online Store  Thank you for coming by.

Last Saturday I had a group of ladies over to work on the Merry Little Christmas Simply Created Card Kit. I went ahead and got the bundle which came with the Merry Little Christmas Stamp Set. Here’s the bundle number W-131826 C 131829. I thought I’d share the samples I made to showcase what you can do with this kit. In the first picture the one without the sweater trim is the basic card you can make with the kit. I added my own special touch by adding the sweater trim from last year’s holiday kit as well as a retired stamp set in the 2nd picture. It was a lot of fun to make these cards and a chance to be with those that like to create. Christmas is 2 months away. Are you ready? Thanks for stopping by!
