Go over to the blog and see the lovely cards made by the design team
http://digistamps4joy-sa.blogspot.com.au/

Here is my card showing one of the new stamps and one of the older ones.

I have layered the new stamp RJ040 Christmas Baobab onto paper from Pininkie Christmas Black and White paper set.  I have recoloured the paper in publisher.  I have coloured Christmas Baobab with markers and the stars with glitter pen.  Have added precoloured Digi JL507c Misteri-Santa's secret.    Typed the sentiment.

I hope you will go over to the blog and to the store to see all the new stamps.

The theme for the Christmas club this fortnight is All I want for Christmas so I have used this theme for the sentiment so I can also use this card for the Christmas card club.

Beccy's Place month of holiday cards Day 22 - foliage stamps

Day 22 at Beccy's Place month of holiday cards is use foliage stamps to make a wreath and Beccy has given us a tutorial using a small leaf stamp.
http://beccysplace.blogspot.com.au/

My card is nothing like the lovely one Beccy made.  It has been so hot here in Sydney today and it is still hot in our house at 11.20 pm tonight.   It has been too hot to think straight.  I am normally fuzzy headed but worse today.  Also very tired after a family party yesterday.    I couldn't think whether I had a leaf stamp so I have used the holly leaf stamp and the bow from Spellbinders Heirloom Ornament clear stamp set which was a freebie with Australian Simple Cards magazine No 61.   I have only used two green inks instead of three.  Added ribbon, rhinestones and stars and layered all onto red card.  Happy Christmas stamp from Hero Arts.

I have missed doing No 21 so I will have to go back and do that one.
