Yay .... on the right day for a change LOL
The new In Colour Concorde Crush is one of my favourites - it looks so vibrant when teamed with Real Red and Whisper White.
This Season Of Joy stamp set was the first set that I owned from Stampin' Up! - this set has so much to answer for!
To create the sparkly panel, I stamped the image in Concrode Crush, then pressed a Versamark pad over the entire piece of cardstock ... covering it completely, then applied a liberal covering of Heat and Stick power and melted that with the heat gun. I then tipped some Dazzling Diamonds over the card ... tapped off and just 'set' the sparkle by giving it a quick once over with the heat gun again ... not too much but just enough.
I'm still making extra cards for lovely Tracey Hanshaw and Karen Cummings to distribute to our defence personnel who are serving overseas. They are well on their way to collecting 1000 cards ... but need more so if you have a few Christmas cards to spare either send them directly to Tracey or pass them on to me and I'll post them for you.
There is nothing like receiving a handmade card and just one card will give two people a feeling of being loved and remembered ... the defence person who is overseas and is able to write and send the card .... and the person who receives the card ... receives their personal message from their loved ones and knows that card makers around Australia are thinking of their loved ones whilst they go about their day to day work.
A couple of pieces of cardstock, a little bit of ribbon, a stamp or two and a little of your time will mean so much - you really can make a difference and bring a smile to someone's face!
