Show me a Snowman

Hi everyone, welcome to my blog.

It being the beginning of the month over at Sparkles Chrismas Challenges

it is time for our new monthly challenge. It was my time to choose,

I so love snowmen, stamps, images and even in real life so, no surprise

Show Me A Snowman

is the challenge for October. Please pop and check out the wonderful

inspirational creations by the Design Team.

For my card, rather than stamping a card as I normally do, I decided to

create my card using a CD, to hopefully encourage newbies or 

experienced card makers who like to use CDs. Many of us do.

So for my card - all the papers and decouaged images were

printed from a La Pashe CD - The Best of 2012.

Additional elements are labels stamped with LOTV Christmas Tags.

Die Cut of Merry Christmas - a freebie with a magazine. 

Card Candi - and of course a Glue pen and lots of glitter. 

Watch The Birdie

Hi, welcome to my blog. Today is the start of a two week challenge at 

Fantasy Stampers.   The challenge is 

Watch the Birdie

Please check out the blog for the amazing creations from the Design Team.

Getting ahead I have made another Christmas card.

A scalloped circular card from Kanban,

A circle for the stamped image via a Spellbinders die.

The robin is from Tall Tails from Katy Sue Designs.

I love these stamps there are four main ones, the robin, an owl, 

a reindeer and a mouse. Lots of little extra stamps.

I used Distress inks to colour the backgound and Promarkers for the robin.

I decoupaged the robin's body and scarf for extra dimension. 

Quickie glue pen and Glamour Dust glitter to crete the icy snow.

Angels or Fairies

Hello, welcome to my blog, thanks for your visit.

Today sees the start of a monthly challenge at Sparkles Christmas  Challenges-

 our challenge this month is    Angles or Fairies -Christmas

Please check out the amazing creations by the Design Team.

I have many, many Christmas stamps and yet, find I only have this one small

 stamp of an Angel and no Christmas related fairies. 

I therefore, have made a small CAS card for Christmas, sometimes

we do need a really quick card at hand, this could be it.

The angel is from a set purchased many years ago, source unknown.

I stamped with Versarmark and heat embossed Gold EP. 

Added to a piece of mirri card, cut to fit. 

The sentiment is from Crafter's Companion

Enhanced with a few strips of gold peel offs.
