Workshops Your Way® Beary Christmas Scrapbooking Kit.This kit is available until the end of the Seasonal Expressions Ideas Book (December 2017). I made things with Beary Christmas Workshop your Way kit last month and kept creating with the leftovers of the kit this month. I still have lots of leftovers but I've been using them up card by card, project by project. Lots of people are asking for Christmas cards where I sell them at work and at at upcoming Christmas markets.

Zip strips and off cut of red stripes. I cut my own tag shape and stamped the Ho Ho Ho M sized stamp set in black ink and inked the edges. Then I used 3D foam tape to have it be 3D and added Whisper Thick Twine that I had split it in half. 

This one was offcuts of the red cranberry cardstock (from the pack), Silver Foil Tape 
the Joy was from a stamp set from last year. and Clear Sparkles. The star was cut with the CTMH cricut cartridge (slightly stretched on computer).

This one was an offcut of Black Glitter paper with the paper and the Very Merry was the last years Christmas stamp called unsurprisingly "Verry Merry"... hehehehee...

Yuletide Joy CTMH Australasian Blog Hop

Welcome to our Australasian Blog Hop. We have all been creating with "Yuletide Joy—October Stamp of the Month" Stamp set. If you have arrived here from Maz Wood- aMAZing Close to My Heart Creations then you are in the right place. If you landed here another way, please join in by following the link at the end of this post. Follow the links, check out all the amazing ideas and eventually you'll come right back here to where you started. 

This is such a pretty stamp set for Christmas. 

Today I would like to share with you my project which features the Yuletide Joy—October Stamp of the Month available exclusively throughout October 2016 for $27 or for just $7.50 when you spend $75. 

My idea for my cards in this project was to make them quick, easy and replicate them easily. I started my Christmas cards with the new Thin Cuts—Christmas and cut out on my BigShot in Black Cardstock. 

The negative cut out is just as valuable with this thin cut word (some of the other words don't easily work to do this). See below. 

I stamped the Star from the Yuletide Joy—October Stamp of the Month in Canary Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad directly on top of the 5 1/2" × 4 1/4" White Cards & Envelopes, Value Pack cards and did the wording in Black Memento™ Ink Pad.

I used the Shimmer Brush—Clear to paint the Thin Cuts—Christmas cutout and I laid it over the top of the three stars but decided eventually that I liked it without the Thin Cut on top of it but I've shown both to see which one you prefer. 

After I made the star card and had the Thin Cuts—Christmas cutout with all the shimmer from the  Shimmer Brush on it, I decided to make another card to use it. 

To make this card I stamped the present in Cranberry Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad 

and stuck on the Thin Cuts—Christmas cutout with all the shimmer. I stamped the sentiment with Black Memento™ Ink Pad. Then I added three strips of Thin Washi Tape from the City Sidewalks Washi Pack. To complete the look of the card I added two red Red Enamel Gems as the top of the i and the full stop. Quick Christmas card complete. 

To make the third card I stamped the middle stocking in Cranberry Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad and then I did second generation stamping to stamp the lighter stockings (to imitate a mantle piece). I stamped the sentiment with Black Memento™ Ink Pad. Then I added two strips of Thin Washi Tape from the City Sidewalks Washi Pack. Another quick, easy and replicateable card. This would look great with red and green stockings and would be a good one for kids to do for the whole class at school because its only using ink and a little bit of washi tape and the 5 1/2" × 4 1/4" White Cards & Envelopes, Value Pack making this project inexpensive for kids to make for school friends or sporting teams etc.

After I had finished all of the stamp of the month cards, I still had the negative space from the Thin Cuts—Christmas cutout. I didn't want it to get ruined by going back into my scrap stash. I decided to also stick it onto one of the 5 1/2" × 4 1/4" White Cards & Envelopes, Value Pack.

TIP: when you are adhering these negative wording down - use a Bonding Memories™ Glue Pen to get into all the small spaces of the wording so they all stick down (see photo - I used Duck® Easy Stick™ Adhesive around the edges and the Bonding Memories around the inside). 

Now that its stuck down I can add other embellishments later or shimmer trim or bling or something but it won't get ruined or lost in my stash now. Although if I get rushed for time, I quite like it as it is. 

Remember this great stamp set  Yuletide Joy—October Stamp of the Month is only available throughout October from my website or from your Close to My Heart Consultant.
