Wow, these cards are just fantastic - so great to see the Christmas creativity still in full flow!

And Trish, great Christmas transformation of the WPlus9 Valentine wreath set! Will check your blog for the details of the greeting stamp.

Here's my Christmas Cracker for this week just uploaded to my blog:


Basic Grey Jovial all the way baby!

Dammit, I knew somebody was going to ask me that!

I honestly can't remember - the outer packaging for them is nowhere to be seen. I think they might be Inkadinkadoo but they are probably about 3 or 4 years old, and frankly, I can't remember what I had for my tea last night so very little chance of remembering this!

Loving the Basic Grey, by the way!

Now that you say inkadinkadoo that reminds me of a little wooden winter set I have that might actually gave that same stamp greeting in it! Lol

Trish, is the "postage stamp" mat on your card done with a die? If so, which one.......? I feel a purchase coming on.......

Sorry Wendy - it's a Silhouette die cut! So might be quite a big purchase if you don't own a Silhouette

Love the postage stamp for Christmas cards, not sure why I think of them as Christmassy though!

Thanks Trish! I do have an original robo...... But I had an idea in my head that I had seen a die set like that, no doubt it will come back to me when I have forgotten why I wanted to remember it

oh would you believe, a simple search for postage stamp dies turned it up They are a Nestie set, the largest being 4". Not as flexible as a cutting file, but it'll do for now

Excellent! I assume we will be seeing more postage stamps coming to a Christmas card near you soon then

You know you can use the Silhouette software with your Craft Robo though, don't you? So you could get the postage stamp cut file I use for 65p and make it whatever size you want....

I still use the original robomaster software, didn't think I could use newer software cut files? Looks like I need to do some research!

Here's my Christmas card for week 6 - details are here on my blog...



Have answered your PM by the way Wendy!

[Mystik Nat]

Oooh another lovely card Trish - I think you need to basically link us up with your cut files! lol I would definitely add that one to my Silhouette store wish list.

Wendy, I have the original blue Robo and just before Christmas managed to finally resurrect it and have used the silhouette studio software on it rather than Robomaster. There are so many nice cut files in the Silhouette store and the fact you can still cut them on your original robo is a great bonus, I even managed to do print and cut for the first time ever, but I've not cut anything since then as I've been too busy playing with stamps and dies!

A big thank you to Trish I have acquired the cutting file in question .... and a few others.... and it cuts on my blue robo perfectly

Off to try actually making something with the cuts now!

I have my old Silhouette and every time I see one of your cards Trish it reminds me that I have that file, every one. Now all I have to do is dust it off and get it out and use it.

Fab cards!

Aw, thanks Wendy - glad you got it all working! I love my Silhouette, I do!

Susie - thanks for your lovely comment on my blog! There's no stopping you now! and yes, get that Silhouette fired up again
