Yikes where's September!!!

Yikes indeed where is September.  Its over there with the rest of the year my friends.  Less than 100 days till Christmas.  Is is possible they got it wrong???

Anyway the September Frantic Stamper release was all things Christmas.  Something for all tastes. Contemporary to Traditional and some with a Religious slant.  I have a selection of cards I made for this release below.

First card uses a great sentiment die Merry and Bright.  I love the different fonts used on the die and the fact that you can use the words separately.  I used Swiss Dot stencil with embellishment mousse in the background and another new die called String of Lights which has several different lights to add to the string in different shapes and sizes.

Next is the previously released Front door Fun die with the new Christmas Door Accessories set. So easy to create simply yet elegant cards with these dies.

Another fun set that has the versatility to be used outside of christmas, although they do look pretty cute in their Santa Hats.  This is Christmas Pets.  I used the happy from the Retro Label Maker Christmas Sentiments stamp set.  There are several Retro Label sets and they are excellent go to's for sentiments and mix and match great with all types of fonts.

This is another of the new sentiment Dies Deck the Halls.  Again a lovely mix of fonts.  In the background I have used the new stencil Diagonal Stripe with distress inks.  Stencils are a great way to make backgrounds and are a cost effective item to have on hand.  Frantic Stamper have quite a few in the collection now.

Last but not least in the release are three of these Framed dies.  They can be used to make ornaments if paired with the Round Ornament die released last year.  They are also great as a stand alone die.  The outer frame cane also be used separately.  I used the Three Wise Men, but there is also a Nativity Scene and a Shepherds die.  I simply distress inked my background and placed a black silhouette in front.  The Joy sentiment is from a previous Christmas release.  This was a quick and easy card to make.

Thats all for today be sure to head to the Frantic Stamper store for all of these and

many. many. more Frantic Stamper products as well as products from all of

your other favourite paper craft Companies.

Bye for now
