Welcome to this month’s Blog Hop by Let’s Craft Together and thank you for joining us. We are a group of multi-cultural Stampin’ Up!® demonstrators in Australia who have developed a strong friendship though our love of stamping and our admiration of each other’s style of crafting.

Each month one of us sets a challenge that we use for the blog hop. This month’s challenge is to make a Christmas tree decoration, which was created by Michele Jutrisa and is shown below:

I have been getting a lot of use out of a lovely Christmas suite available as an online exclusive. The beautiful suite is, therefore, not shown in the current Mini Catalogue. But it is gorgeous! Below is a pic of my decoration with a dazzling backdrop using the Red/Cherry Cobbler Sheet of Seasons of Elegance Designer Series Paper. I used the Basic Beige sheet for the star ornament, along withe die cuts of the red sheet and gold foil.

Stamps: – Ornamental Christmas*

Card: -Basic Black, Season of Elegance Specialty Designer Series Paper, Gold Foil Sheets

Tools: –  Ornamental Christmas Dies* Stylish Shapes Dies

Embellishments: Gold Striped 1cm mesh ribbon, Cherry Cobbler and Gold 1 cm ribbon
