We call it the Crafty Carrot Collective.

The program works like this:

Want to learn more? To celebrate our launch, we are inviting everyone to join us for a whole month's access to FREE tutorials, live classes, challenges, and crafty fun this January 2017! Be sure to follow us on social media to catch all the excitement (links below). But before you run off to do just that, I've got a quick card project to share with you!

Happy Christmas Cards
I'm busily putting together a stash of Christmas cards to send out. I'm a little behind and needed a bunch more cards to cover everyone on the list. Designer series papers, like this pattern from the This Christmas Specialty pack, are a great tool for quick, detailed, pretty backgrounds. I've heat embossed the Oh, What Fun "Happy Christmas" sentiment in white on watercolour paper squares cut with the Stitched Framelits die. Then I applied layers of Cherry Cobbler ink with an aqua painter.

Layers of silver ribbon, metallic silver foil doilies and some bakers twine complete the design. It was pretty quick to put together, I made a set of 6 in about an hour.

#TGIFc74, Hand stitched card, Peaceful Pines, Christmas Card, Thoughtful Banners, Washi Tape background, Papercraft by Jennifer Frost

Stitching on cards is popular again, so pull out your needle or sewing machine and join the TGIF team for this week's Sewing and Stitches technique challenge!

I'm not overly handy with a needle and thread. Most of our clothes that need a stitch or two end up at my Mum's house! But I somehow managed to thread a needle and enjoyed putting a little hand-stitched touch on this Christmas card.

I went with the Peaceful Pines tree and used the coordinating framelit to die cut the holes. Then I stitched with the gold thread, adding a little extra thread loops behind the sentiment banner.

The background was inspired by this gorgeous project by fellow Aussie Claire Daly. I have a growing collection of washi tape and just loved this idea the second I saw it! Thanks for the inspiration Claire!

I really hope that you enjoy this week's challenge and that you play along with the TGIF challenge this week!

Supplies Used:
Stamps: Peaceful Pines, Oh What Fun!, Thoughtful Banners
Inks: VersaMark, Soft Suede
Papers: Whisper White, Soft Suede, Pear Pizzazz
Accessories/Tools: White Emboss Powder, Heat Tool, Duet Banner, Gold Thread, Perfect Pines Framelits, Winter Wonderland Washi Tape (retired), All is Calm Washi Tape (retired)

#TGIFc74 Christmas in Stitches

September 23, 2016

I caught up with some of my wonderful Stampin' Up! team mates yesterday for a little Christmas in July stamping event called a shoebox swap. It was such fun to not only see all their different ideas but to chat away with some like-minded demonstrators whilst putting the projects together! Thanks for the great 'crafternoon' ladies.

I went for a bit of a vintage inspired design for my swap. I tried to keep it simple but I couldn't resist adding the Peace this Christmas pinecones, berries and leaf layers which were fussy cut and put in place behind the tag.

This is the third card I've shared on my blog with this stamp set, you can find the other projects here.
I look forward to sharing more Christmas themed projects this month so be sure to check back soon!

Christmas in July 2016 #3, Tis the Season

This Christmas Specialty designer paper, Peace this Christmas, Oh What Fun, Stampin' Up!, Glassine Gift Bag, Papercraft by Jennifer Frost

The Christmas in July theme continues today with this little collection of projects featuring the 'This Christmas' Suite.

For my first project, I chose to dress up one of the translucent Glassine Gift bags. These are great for quick gift packaging and food safe too - perfect for some sweet Christmas cookies! The Oh, What Fun stamp set had this 'sweet season' wording which I thought was a wonderful fit for a gift bag containing baked goodies! I masked off the little lined section at the top of the stamp and added the pretty flower and berries from the Peace this Christmas set instead.

I decided to make a little clear Tiny Treat Box to match. I lined the bottom of the box with some garden green cardstock, added a little baking paper and inserted the Christmas cookie. I then closed it up with a band of burlap, a metallic gold doily and finished with a little round gift tag.

Lastly, I completed this collection with a Christmas card featuring the Peace This Christmas set. It's the second card I've shared on my blog with this stamp set - you can see the first here.
