Lily-by-Gilly

My oh my – it’s less than 12 weeks to Christmas!  Eleven weeks today will be Christmas Eve …

… I can’t wait!  I’m a big kid when it comes to Christmas –

I love the build up, the preparation, the decorating and of course the card making!

Today I decided to go “off piste” to make this card without the aid of my stamp-a-majig …

… don’t know if that was such a good idea now!

I think I would prefer to use my trusty stamp-a-majig and line everything up perfectly, but I do love these colours together – very contemporary and not at all traditional! I don’t think my mum would’ve approved – she was a very traditional lady – but she made Christmas just magical…

When I first got my set of ornament keepsakes stamps, I thought this stamp looked like a fir tree and couldn’t wait to make a card with it – I can see I’m going to have to make some more!

Here’s what you need to make today’s card – all supplies from Stampin’ Up!:

cardstock: tempting turquoise, whisper white; stamp sets: ornament keepsakes, pennant parade; inks: tempting turquoise, melon mambo, lucky limeade; accessories: stampin’ write marker pens in tempting turquoise, melon mambo and lucky limeade, adhesive rhinestones.

I’d be delighted to order any of these items for you and have them delivered to your door in any of the following European countries – the UK, Germany, France, Austria or the Netherlands. To place your order, you can email me at lilybygilly@gmail.com or call me on 0772 980 8152 and I’d be happy to help.

Thanks for dropping by today
