Classic Star
OMG Christmas is now under a week away and I still have loads of cards and projects to show you before Christmas comes and goes….. Like most people I am very busy getting ready for Christmas although I finished my shopping weeks ago and made my cards months ago I still feel like I have a million things to do! for the first year I am the family “Chef” this Christmas, this is a role my sister has held for many years and always cooks the most amazing meals for our Christmas celebrations so I have such huge shoes to fill as my niece Bailey who is only 4 told me last week “My Mummy is the best at everything not you Aunty you just do good craft not cooking….Nooooooo {shaking her head} not good cooking” Can you can see what I am up against? Up until Bailey told me that I did not think I was that bad at cooking but wish me luck!
Seeing I am good at craft I better talk about these cards, I have two simple and elegant cards that are very quick to make to share with you today. For both I have stamped the star in Night of Navy ink over the front of the card and sponged the edge, I stamped the star on Navy cardstock in VersaMark and embossing in Silver then punched the image out with the Star Punch. I have embossed the greeting in Silver as well.
Tripe Stars for a long note card
Materials used:
Stamps: Many Merry Messages and Christmas Classic
Ink: Night of Navy and VersaMark
Paper: Night of Navy and Whisper White

Beautifully classic cards again Teneale! You have got a bit of pressure there from Bailey, hope it doesn’t stress you too much and I am sure no matter what the food is like, spending Christmas with family will be the most important thing! Have a lovely and safe holiday; looking forward to seeing the rest of these projects you have to show us!

Beautiful cards Teneale…so simple and elegant. Silver and navy is such a lovely colour combo. Enjoy all your preparations and have a wonderful Christmas.

I agree with Bailey, you are very, very good at craft. However, after Christmas day they will all discover you have other talents as well!!!!! I reckon Chrissy dinner will be a sensation a la Aunty Teneale.

Both cards are just lovely Teneale! You are such a talent! I love coming every couple of days to see what you have shared!
God bless you this coming Christmas! All the best! Happy cooking

You’re so clever. I think I’ll be using your beautiful design on the cards for the ’special’ people in my life (my make-on-Christmas-Eve cards!!). So beautiful.
