Pines and Poinsettias Christmas Club

Hello there, i had every intention in blogging yesterday but I ran out of time…

Unlike Saturday I didn’t spend my Sunday in my pj’s  (glad to find so many of you are enjoying pj days  as well *wink*) spent it instead hosting our Monthly Christmas Club.  We meet each month and make 8 cards in 2.5hours we started back in July and we already amassed a good collection ready to be sent out soon. The last club takes place on the 11 Dec. so if you are in need some cute and quick to reproduce cards please get in touch.

The first card is a total case from a swap I received at Convention made by the lovely Joanne Gelnar, it uses the pines and poinsettias stamp set and Holly Berry designer paper.

Second card my personal favourite because is very atmospheric in real life, the dark colours are warm and rich and the rhinestones add extra sparkle, we also used copious amounts of shimmer  mist all over it.

The third one used a conventional set in an unconventional way. Aviary is not a set you would associate with Christmas but I don’t think is to bad what do you think?

And finally everyone’s favourite on the day,

This was a technique featured by my stampin friend Moira a Scottish now living in France demonstrator. She did a wonderful job showcasing the select embossing technique and she has a tutorial on her blog here. 

The gold card looks very luxurious with this technique.

We had cake as well curtsey of the magic of the Thermomix, this time was a whole orange and poppy seed cake with a orange cream cheese frosting.

Not the best slice in this photo as I made sure everyone left with a little doggy bag and only took two ends back for me and hubs, it was moist citrusy and very delish, this machine makes me look so good you know .

I hope you enjoyed my makes today and before I go I just want to tell you about my
