Last month at card class we enjoyed making these cards using the Northern Lights technique.  (Card design and technique:  Natalie Lapakko)

The Year Of Cheer DSP is great for this technique with the metallic embossed designs.  We sponged vertical stripes of Pool Party and Lucky Limeade then over the top we sponged Night of Navy and a little Elegant Eggplant.  This was one of those great cards where everyone's turned out differently.  

The thinlits are from the Hearts Come Home bundle.  I LOVE the greeting on this card and pretty much bought the stamp set just for that greeting.  Certainly makes my heart full to gather with family at Christmas.  We're seeing my side Christmas Eve and John's side on Christmas Day - can't wait.  

You can find this bundle here in my online store:  Hearts Come Home Bundle  

The street scenes look great layered up too.  

Happy Decembering!   I just did a bit of online shopping this morning for my young minecraft addict.  Have left it a TEENY bit late I think for ordering from afar so will be waiting with fingers crossed for the postie van in the lead up to Christmas!  

Speaking of which - if you're planning on ordering Stampin' Up! gifts - get orders in early this week to make sure they arrive for Christmas.  Craft supplies are always nice under the Christmas tree.  I love a bit of creating in late December when we have a nice lull in all the hustle and bustle.  My favourite time of year.  

Cheers, Sue
