VINTAGE NATIVITY

Hello Everyone,

This is a card I created using a Woodware stamp called Vintage Nativity.    I made the background first with Distress Oxides then stamped on top with Versafine Onyx Black.  I must say the stamp doesn't look as though it stamps very well, but I think this is how it's supposed to be and where the Vintage part comes.

FUN FOLDS

 This is my reminder post for Christmas Craft Creations where the theme this month is Fun Folds.







I have made a Z-fold card with a chipboard tree on the front embellished with gold glitter.  There is also a gold glitter snowflake inside which was retrieved last year from my Christmas crackers.  The "Twinkly Christmas" sentiment is from an old LOTV set and is heat embossed in gold.

We are having a DT call this month so if you fancy making Christmas cards each month all the details are here but the deadline for applications is 30th November so you'll have to be quick.

CAS KITTIES


I have a CAS Christmas card to share today for the CAS Christmas card challenge.  


I have used 2 of the kittens from my Gerda Steiner stamp set called Carol Kittens.  I'm not really a cat person, but I do love these.  I have coloured with copics and fussy cut them out.  Glitter has been added to their hats and I have used a brick wall die from Sweet Dixie with Antique Linen DI behind.

HELLO BABY

 Good Morning Everyone,

It is time for a new challenge over at As You Like It and we are asking whether you prefer to use dies or stencils on your projects.


It's definitely dies for me.  I use them on most of my cards and they can enhance a card so easily.  I have used a LOTV image for my baby card, coloured with copics, and the circle die is from Craft Consortium.  Other dies used are the stars, banners and the stitched squares and sentiment.

The prize this week is a voucher from:

CHRISTMAS BAUBLES

Good Afternoon Everyone,

I hope you are keeping well.



This is a card I've made with gold heat embossed ornaments from Simon Says Stamp.  I have coloured them in slightly with different shades of red, inked round the edges, although you can't see it very well,  and added a few sequins for a bit of sparkle.

I've had a busy day today, food shopping and well under way with Christmas shopping, so hoping for an easier day tomorrow.  

Thank you for taking the time to visit and I do appreciate your comments.

 Morning Everyone,

I have a quick little card to share today using my deer circle from Simon Says Stamp.


I have cut it centrally in my stitched square and die cut the Merry Christmas from MFT twice and stuck them together.  The small piece of dotty paper is a snippet as were the pieces for the sentiment. I have coloured his eyes and nose and added glossy accents to the nose.

I really like this card and will probably do more in different colour ways.

I would like to add it to:

Christmas Kickstart - Christmas Snippets
Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas - Anything Christmas

Thank you for visiting and have a good weekend.

FAVOURITE CIRCULAR EMBELLIES

Good Morning Everyone,

It is time for the start of a new challenge over at As You Like It and we are asking you to share your favourite circular embellishments with us on your projects.



I like both pearls and the glittery enamel dots, but I think for a wedding card pearls win and they just add a touch of elegance.

I have to confess this card has been in my Drafts for a while and, as I've not been too well just lately, thought it would be ideal as my DT card.  The heart die is from Stampin Up and the cream coloured paper, although you can't see is very well, is embossed with doves.  White and cream may look a bit odd in the picture but it was really nice in real life.  Pearls have been added to the flowers and a string of pearls to the ribbon.  The sentiment is from LOTV embossed in silver.

The sponsor for the challenge is:
