Creating Kindness Design Team September blog hop - Circle theme featuring Making Christmas Bright

Happy Spring! Well Spring has sprung for us here in Australia! September is such a fabulous time of year. It's great to be heading towards warmer weather plus the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalogue is out! We welcome Guest Designer Ashley Fifer this month. Our September theme of Circles is the perfect way to showcase one of  my favourite new stamp sets in the new catalogue - Making Christmas Bright. Check out these cute watercoloured bauble cards I whipped up for you.

It is such an easy design to make in lots of different colours. Stampin' Up! makes it so easy with coordinating inks, cardstock and ribbon.

Pineapple Punch

Tranquil Tide

Lemon Lime Twist

Calypso Coral

If you don't feel like masking, you can always just do one bauble like my Real Red version.

The front panels are raised with foam adhesive strips - you know I love everything jacked up on my cards!

Making these cards is pretty easy. Check out my video to learn how I masked and watercoloured the baubles. Making Christmas Bright is such a fabulous set that has lots of scope.

Make sure you continue both the video and blog hop. Next up in our hop is fellow Aussie, Cheryll Miller. Can't wait to see her gorgeous creation!
