Blue Christmas

Well it was certainly a wet Christmas this year - has it stopped raining here in the UK??

I have my first Christmas card of 2020 to share with you today (yes I am getting prepared already lol).

I used a dark navy base card and streaked yellow and red glitter pritt stick in lines across the centre.  I used this to then adhere a previously stamped and die-cut bauble onto the card front (you may recognise it as the centre from a card made late last year). Finally I added the peel-off sentiment.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

Addicted to stamps #180 Cold and frosty

ABCChristmas - A for Anything Christmas

SOS #410 Happy Holidays

CRAFT #539 Christmas

modsquad - create your own patterned paper (the bauble is stamped with snowflakes)

My Scorpion passed away this morning, which made for a very sad drive to work :( Here is a photo of him taken on the 30th December looking very healthy! No idea what the cause was.

Oh Christmas Tree!

Hi guys,

I have a Christmas car to share with you today. I don't think I have even managed 1 a month so far this year lol.

I printed out two patterned papers from my House Mouse decoupage CD-Rom - the main one whcih is green, and then a brown bark one onto which the sentiment is stamped. The trees and sentiment were stamped in a Boofle green ink using a magazine free gift. I fussy cut around the sentiment and then added between the trees. I then added a Merry Christmas Ribbon to the top.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

She was just coming out of her burrow here as she felt the vibration of me trying to remove her water dish to clean an refill it. Look at those stunning markings.

Ombre Baubles

Hi guys,

I have a CAS Christmas card to share with you today, playing with my Chameleon pens again :)

So I used my Colour Tones Green with the Colour Tops Green/Yellow to make an ombre coloured bauble - stamped from a free stamp set. I used gold paint on the top of the bauble. I think I maybe needed to infuse the pen a little more with the second green - what are your opinions?

Finally I added a peel-off sentiment.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Christmas@SweetStampin' - Include some stamping

ABC Christmas - H for Hang it up

Christmas @ Creative Moments

Welcome to the last challenge of 2018 for the Creative Moments challenge blog!!  

 We have decided on a Christmas twist, but as always you can play Anything Goes. Our sponsor for this challenge is Bugaboo, and I have used Three Penguins for my icy card.

Once again I used one of my new polka dot card blanks, this time in an icy blue to give the effect of falling snow. I coloured the image using Promarkers and then used my Hobbycraft paper cutter on the wavy blade to trim to size. I added two stripes of tree patterned washi-tape before layering the image onto the card, and then added a Hunkydory foiled sentiment topper. To finish I added a felt tree and star and some Pepper and Friends glitter stickers.

I would like to eter this card into the following challenges:
