Winnie & Walter New Release – Day #3
Here is Day #1 and Day #2 of the new release in case you missed it.
I simply love this stamp set because there are so many Christmas elements and sentiment. This one set is enough if you are on a low budget. But there are so many such sets in this release, it is hard to choose one lol! Anyway, I white heat embossed the wreath on the centre of the card front. Then sponged Crushed Olive and Shabby Shutters distress ink. Then coloured the leaves with Shabby Shutter distress ink and brushed with Green Wink of Stella to add shimmer. I then stamped the leaves using Memento black ink and coloured using green copics. I then hand cut the leaves. I did the same process for the flowers using pink and green colour. I also stamped the dec 25 using Bubblegum ink from Hero Arts and hand cut it out.
I die cut a tag partially on a long strip of cardstock then trimmed to get a longer tag. I used pink twine to tie, clustered the leaves and poinsettia and adhered using foam on top of the tag. I then stamped the sentiment on a strip of grey cardstock, cut at an angle. I adhered this to the tag using foam adhesives and then the dec 25 circular stamped image also using foam adhesives. Finally embellished using Pretty Pink Posh’s Mossy Green, Pink Blush and Pink Peonies sequins. Here is a closeup!
For the second project, I have used the Cutaways along with Happy Christmas stamp set. Here is my project.
I have die cut three pieces of Peace, & and Joy using The Big, the Bold and Merry Cutaways. Stacked and glued them. Then applied some glue on the top layer and added some Rock Candy Stickles. I love the look of the coarse glitter on the die cut.
I adhered the die cut words on the card panel. Love the dimension the stacked diecut and the texture the glitter gives. I then white heat embossed the leaves. Sponged blue ink on the panel fading away towards the bottom. Coloured the leaves with green Wink of Stella. Finally added some Sparkly clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh. Here is a closeup of the card.

Winnie & Walter’s New Release – Day #1
This release is huge and we are going to have lots and lots of fun.
Today we are premiering two stamp sets called Eat Drink Gingerbread Man and Mini Scenery: The Peppermint Zone and a new product called Creative Screenings. Creative Screenings are masks and stencils. There are several masks and stencils released. They coordinate with stamp sets already available in Winnie & Walter shop.
Here is my card using the two stamp sets and Scenery: Big Bang circle Creative Screening stencil.
I have used Scenery: Big Bang Circle Creative Screening and sponged Festive Berries distress ink to get the background on my panel. Then I have stamped the Peppermint stamp using Angel Pink Memento Luxe ink on a white tag. I white heat embossed the gingerbread man image from Eat Drink Ginerbread Man stamp set on watercolour paper and watercolour the image. I also white heat embossed the peppermint lollies also from the same stamp set and watercoloured them. Once dry, hand cut them out.
The tag is mounted on the panel using foam adhesives. Glued the gingerbread man and the lollies. I have used a pink twine to tie on the tag and left it long. The sentiment is stamped using Silver Lining ink from Wplus9. I have stamped only half the sentiment. The “Be Merry” is stamped inside the card. Finally embellished with Pretty Pink Posh’s 6mm and 4mm Sparkly Clear sequins.
Here is a closeup of the card.

Christmas Card Series – Set III
Welcome to Christmas card series. This is the third set in the series. Here is the FIRST set and SECOND Set.
Couple of the cards in the set as masculine by just changing the pattern paper. Again you can change the poinsettias with any Christmas elements like Santa, bells, reindeer, holly leaves….. and you have a new set of cards. Make this same card in white instead of kraft cardstock. I have added some gold spatters on the green pattern paper cards. The variations are endless. Hope I have inspired you to start making Christmas cards if you haven’t already started 🙂
Here is another card from the set with a photo tutorial on how to make it.
Pretty Pink Posh collaborates with Winnie & Walter for a blog hop!
The shaker box has sequins from Winter Snow Mix sequins and 6mm and 4mm Sparkly Clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh. The colours coordinate perfectly with the background. I LOVE the silver snowflakes sequins in the Winter Snow Mix. Gorgeous sequins.
I framed the shaker box with silver frame diecut out of two consecutive rectangle dies from MFT.

Christmas card series – Set II
Welcome to my second card set in my Christmas card series. Here is my first card set of the series. If this is the first time you are here, my Christmas card series typically features a card set which is easy to make so you can mass produce. I will have a slideshow tutorial and some photos of the cards in my post. This series is once a week series posted on weekend mostly on Saturday. I live in Western Australia so I am ahead of your time unless you live in eastern Australia or New Zealand.
For my second card set, I am leaning towards trendy style again with gold and silver. I am in love with the Leaping Reindeer die from Penny Black. It is so elegant. I am going to use the reindeer die and some more die cuts, layer them with a sentiment to make my cards.
I have four cards in my set today. They are similar NOT same.
