<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Last Christmas season I bought the Kaisercraft North Pole 6.5" x 6.5" paper pad as I really loved the colours of the papers. Of course I really didn't get a chance to use them much because I had already made my cards earlier in the year so have been putting them to use in recent weeks for my cards for this Christmas Season.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Recent months have seen a few birthdays between my friends and kids friends so I have had to put a few last minute cards together.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Last weekend was a 70th birthday for a lovely lady who shocked me by the invite to her "70th". She still works full-time and dances several nights a week so I'm guessing that dance and keeping your mind active shows that it helps you to stay young looking. I could only hope I look that good when I get to 70. The Silhouette online store had this great ballroom couple silhouette that worked perfectly for her card.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Kerry at Crafty Cards and Cuts had a night time video class on Periscope one night to make cards with scraps so thought I would play along. I didn't get very far with my efforts but at least got a couple made.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Another birthday for a male dance friend so hoped that this would look more masculine with the design. He was very pleased with the result and surprised that someone would go to the effort of personalising a card for him.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Last but not least, a card for a teen girl who likes Avatar the last Air bender. Thanks to a free wall paper I was able to get the character image and just played with the background with stamps and ink. The greeting was an old rub-on in my stash which really worked nicely with the card.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Well the end of June saw the start of a new working routine for me after being out of work for a year I finally secured a casual job which has been keeping me busy for the last couple of months. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">It is great being back in the working scene but seriously impacting on my creative time. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">I keep pulling out the scraps of old papers sets to play with which have either been freebies with magazines from years gone by that I have been holding onto the last of or old Topline Creations Papers and stickers that are still floating around in my stash. They still make good cards even if it is the last of the bits and pieces which encourages me to "think" a little bit more to get some use out of them.</span></div>

The lovely feather stamps with Simply cards magazine and the feather die from Australian papercraft essentials.These make some great cards and I am looking forward to using them more in the future. Lots of potential for them with a variety of styles.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">A few weeks ago I bought a magazine with a free pack of papers and some chipboard toppers and planning an afternoon with Combat Cards SA was an ideal time to make use of them. I pulled out some sketches and played with them. I used some additional die-cuts, plain papers, border punched edges and a couple of embossing folders and these are what I came up with.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Just a quick share of some cards I coloured at craft last week. The left one is coloured with distress markers after being stamped with Ranger Archival Black on watercolour paper. The right is stamped with a celery stalk base using Distress paint then shaded with distress markers. If I had thought about it before hand I would have stamped it on watercolour paper too instead of some Quill brand card. It turned out okay but the watercolour did not move so well over the paper as it would have if I had used a correct product. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I often enjoying reading the <a href="http://operationwritehome.org/blog/" target="_blank">Operation Write Home blog</a> to get ideas for my cards for Combat cards. Quite frankly I find it a challenge to keep my cards fairly flat without bling and deeper embellishments so it is nice to see how others work. I particularly like to visit the blog of <a href="http://eponinekc.blogspot.com.au/2014/12/doodlebugs-lovebirds-6x6-cards.html" target="_blank">Kristie Marcotte</a> who makes cards for OWH and has the distinct ability to get the most out of a 6 x 6 paper pad and uses it all before moving onto another paper range. So, after looking through her designs and seeing how she goes about it I decided to give it a go with the Kaisercraft Sears and Son paper pad that I have had in my drawer. </span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I started out just like Kristie with a batch of sketches and the idea in my mind to make several of each sketch but as I moved along I found it harder and harder to make duplicates as I just don't work that way. And, when I really got to the scraps too I made up patchy backgrounds also to make use of those little bits of off-cuts. In total I got 47 cards from the paper pad using brown, black, rust and some cream/beige plainer papers for matting and greeting bases.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Just a quick couple of shares of a few more male cards that will go to Combat Cards SA. I loved the design of the one that I did for Hubby's birthday that I decided to go with the same concept and use a couple of other stamps from the free set of male stamps that came with the Creative Stamping magazine I bought last year. The father's day greeting is from the same set and the celebrate is from a Fiskars set called Happy Birthday. The background stamps are Stampin' Up Extreme elements and stamping is with gelatos direct to stamp and then lightly sprayed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">These two are duplicates of a card that I made the kids for a teen boys birthday so I made some extras for Combat Cards. Mix of Kaisercraft stamps, Basic Grey, paint dauber direct to card, bottle cap and the back of a round stamp for the larger plain circles. Happy birthday is a die-cut from the Silhouette store. I cut a few whilst I had the Silhouette cutting nicely so that I could play. Do you think they look masculine enough?</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">A while back I purchased a card magazine to read in my travels and I am talking probably 12 months ago at least. It was Cardmaking in Easy Steps Issue 4 and had with it a kit containing papers, stamps, felt, hessian, card bases and some card toppers. The whole magazine was filled with ideas for using the kit although I have to admit that I wasn't too fussed with some of the ideas, especially the shaped cards. Call me old fashioned, but I prefer a good ole square or rectangular card. Any way I decided I needed to get rid of the papers so took some of the designs that I didn't mind and worked with them and then started to play with the extra bits I have left over. Most of these will go to Combat Cards SA.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Most of these will go to Combat cards also. Still using up a lot of free papers and toppers that I can't believe are lasting so long. Found a great die - Couture Creations Royal Oval and it matched the oval topper pieces so well. A few Fiskars punches - Scalloped edge, Apron lace also helped to put these together.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Last but not least are these freebie tags from a very old copy of a Scrapbooking Memories magazine. Remember when they use to include the pull out two page centre in the magazine for use in your scrapbooking layouts? I hate to admit it but I have a bag of those papers still in my stash and I know some of those are from 2005/2006 as I remember discussing them at a crop night when I lived in the ACT. I added some Kaisercraft greetings from their Christmas greetings set and then layered them with some old papers. They came up quite well in the end.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">So they are all in the one place I am showing some more of the cards I have been working on for Combat Cards. These are still all done using scraps from my stash that have been sitting around for a while apart from the first one which was a die-cut in a recent swap and the patterned backing paper came in the packaging with it. Flowers are handmade by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Heathers-Handmade-Flowers/248781128531298" target="_blank">Heather</a> from a bunch of punched flowers I sent to her. Of course any with glitter on will not go to CC, they will be used by me next Christmas.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Lots of old card toppers have been haunting me for a few years now so I challenged myself to do something with them. I think most came from Big W about 6-7 yrs ago after moving back from Canberra and when I looked at them I just couldn't think of what to do with them when I had all this lovely more recent papers, dies and ideas running through my head. So, I bit the bullet and made myself use them and it is amazing when you challenge yourself to use limited resources how you do come up with some inspiration.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Stamps on these are Kaisercraft Mistletoe embossed with white embossing powder. I'm a fan of the Stampin' Up white powder as I like the fineness of it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">More using up of those freebie papers from a couple of years ago. I just took the cut scraps and matted them with black then played around with layering them. Silver die-cut tree was a free die with a magazine from 2013 I think. Circle Christmas greeting stamp is from The Stamps of Life.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Well, I haven't been around for a while on my blog as my poor old laptop decided to play with blue screening for several weeks. After many goes at trying to solve the issue I have given up and decided that seeing as it is almost 8 years old and running on Vista then maybe it was trying to tell me something. So here we are a few months down the track and I have finally got a new laptop and now trying to locate all my photos which are spread on various USB's and children's laptops or Facebook.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I have been running this year so far with more Christmas cards - bit strange I know now that Christmas is over however I had a pile of papers and old toppers and magazine freebie papers and things lying around on my desk that have been floating in my stash for several years that I needed to challenge myself to get them made into cards. So glad I did as I have a bag of 50 cards ready to go to Combat Cards SA for next Christmas now. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Most of these have been made by either playing around with the cut scraps of paper and seeing how they fit together or I have had some sketches printed off in my book to base the design on. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Back to some more from the Online Holiday card workshop and this is a duplicate design of Shari Carroll's inspired card from Day 1. I cut the frame the same time I cut the frame for the first card I made so of course I had to put it to good use before it got lost in my stash. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">On day 5 Yana Smakula showed us how to create 3 different levels of the same design of tag for gifts and then to incorporate them onto a card. Here are my three tags: single layer, double layer then double layer with shaker of beads and sequins. </span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Julie Ebersole showed us an alternative use for a die-cut in using it as a mask for a single layer design. I must admit this is probably the third die-cut I used as I was not happy with the other designs as they did not seem to "pop" so well. I stuck with the reindeer theme eventually using a die-cut from the Christmas Cheer Cricut cartridge with a little red rhinestone to finish off his nose. Greeting is from a Kaisercraft set - Christmas quotes.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The next pair are a couple of very simple designs to assist a lady at a local Church craft group to get a start on her Christmas cards. Nativity stamp is from a purchase years ago back in early 2000's when I first started stamping and has no brand on it so I can't remember where it was from. The verses are from The Stamps of Life - <a href="http://www.stephaniebarnardstamps.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=11_18&products_id=126" target="_blank">Christmas4him</a></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I love one layer cards like this, Laura Bassen masked off a rectangle in the centre of her card and created a scene with the stencils that she had but not having any such stencils, I went with stamping an image with a Kaisercraft stamp from the Twig and berry collection. Hadn't really used this set much but am finding some uses for it amongst this class. Greeting is also from Kaisercraft. Love the result.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Back to Jennifer McGuire teaching us a one layer window card using partial die-cutting techniques. This would work if I had circle dies or scalloped ones etc. but I don't own those nor do I own any stamp and die sets so the image is stamped and hand cut around to meet up with the circle either side cut with my "go to" Creative Memories circle cutting system. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I was not happy with the way my distress ink blended on the inside of the card though as I had bought a different pack of card bases when I ran out of my usual supply and so the inks were not working as well on it. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Jennifer Rzasa inspired those of us who are painting challenged to just try watercolour painting a Christmas tree as it is a simple triangular shape. I did okay, I think! I have added silver Kindyglitz and silver liquid pearls to look like it is decorated and topped it off with a little silver sequin star.</span></div>

My water colours still don't seem to come out too brightly but this was the result of my efforts.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I'm happy enough with it and it does look effective as a non dimensional card yet has the texture of the embossed images and glitter glue. Stamps are from a variety of Kaisercraft sets and a few other odd freebie stamps.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Day 2 is all about interactive cards and I have to say this is not really up my alley so this is the only one you are likely to see from me as I do not have items in my stash that could work with the other designs unless I come up with a shaker card of some description.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This is a Christmas decoration that can be removed from the card front and hung on the tree. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Stamps are from Kaisercraft Twig and Berry clear stamp set and a greeting from part of the recent Stamps of Life set - Ornaments4christmas</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This has to be my favourite card from Day 1. I could easily take the time to duplicate this. I stuck with Shari's design which is created to house a gift card beneath the "Be Merry" panel. I didn't have any stencils to use with texture paste like Shari so just dry embossed a piece of white cardstock instead. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Be Merry frame was purchased from the Silhouette store and the Snowflake is a Bird's cards design. Banners are all hand cut as I don't own any dies for those. Stamps are Kaisercraft script and Hot off the Press snowflake. Embossing folders used: Swiss dots and Tim Holtz Regal Flourishes.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This is the other copy of the card designed by Debby Hughes. I love, love, love this one all because of the colour. Background splashes are Patina Glimmermist and the tag is dipped in Peacock Feathers Distress ink mixed with Perfect Pearls - perfect pearl Mist. Snowflake is die-cut on my Silhouette from the Silhouette library if I am not mistaken. Merry Christmas greeting is again designed by Mary Powell an SVG file I purchased a few years ago.</span></div>
