My name is Andrea, and I live in
Kialla, Victoria, Australia, with my husband Chris, and our three sons. I have always loved papercrafts, and especially handmade greeting cards. I hope you are inspired to create today!

Todays cards are quick and simple cards for when you need to re-produce a lot at once! The first card uses Holly Branch. I've shaped the holly pieces to form a circle and stamped on to smooth white cardstock with Palette Burnt Umber. Colouring can be done fairly quickly if it's kept simple - and Copics are a breeze to work with!
This next card is equally as quick. Once again using the holly stamps I shaped them in to a curve and stamped with Palette Burnt Umber on to Kraft cardstock, quickly coloured with Copics and added the sentiment - from the same set, and ran a white pigment ink pad around the outer edge.
I think this year I am liking red, white and kraft just a little. The Christmas tree is from the Jewelled Tree set and is stamped in Palette Moulin Rouge on Smooth White cardstock, and matted on to Bazzill. I've used the new Silver 4mm Sprinkles to add a touch of sparkle and adhered them with Glossy Accents.And yes, another Holly Branch! This time with the new Artichoke Mini Sprinkles in 5mm. The cut out is a Spellbinders die, and what I've done is used the centre of the die for the card below and the rectangle piece for this one, stamping directly on to the white cardstock showing through.
This card has the new Chilli Mini Sprinkles in 5mm, adding a touch of class don't you think?
I'd best get back to work with an order of 70 of this last card and 80 of another to fill - what fun! Speaking of fun, don't forget to pop by tomorrow for the first sketch challenge from the AnnaBelle Stamps Blog!
Wow! I love these samples! Great stamp sets :) I'm so impressed! If I don't win the blog candy I'll definitely have to make an order :)
