~ Another Christmas Card ~

Hello friends,

Hope you all ok and safe. So hard to believe Christmas is only a few days away.

Weather man has promised a bit of snow on the 24th....will be nice if it stays around

for the big day.

I've a card to show you that I made for a special family.

The dies are all from MFT. Animals have been coloured with copics.

I added acetate to the window then created a night sky with a tree branch just outside.

I stenciled the fireplace with a stencil from MFT and oxide ink.

Bow made with twine then red rhinestones added.

The floor was embossed using a SU wood grain folder.

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Always Fun Challenge #194 12.27
Christmas with the Cuties #45 1.21
Dream Valley Challenge #238 1.11

Thanks for visiting today.

hugs

Sweet Stampin

Hello folks,

Today I have a card for the new challenge at

Sweet Stampin

where we have the theme of "Last Minute Christmas"

Now this was a test for me...yes I am always last minute but instead of taking hours to create, this gem was made in less than 15 minutes! It took longer for me to decide what I was going to do. I've cut the tree using a very old Spellbinder die that might just be given a little more love.

SU sentiment stamped with versamark then embossed with gold embossing powder.
Cut out using the coordinating die. Background embossed with SU softly falling folder
The photo doesn't do justice.. the gold is very shiny which looks great against the black.

I would like to enter the following challenges:

C.R.A.F.T. Challenge #581 - 1.20

Creatalicious Challenge #201 12.29

Hope you can play along with us.

Anything Christmas at Winter Wonderland~

Hello everyone,

First weekend in December coming up ...hard to believe that time can pass by so quickly when you are shut in! I'm still working on Christmas cards (need to complete the insides) but might actually get them mailed before the end of next week!

Today starts a new challenge at Winter Wonderland where we have an "Anything Goes Christmas" theme. No sponsor this month and team have been given the month off so no commenting but there will still be a Top 3 and as a special treat there will be a GDT spot awarded.

I've created a card using Poppy Stamps Pop Up Easel die set. I've not used the easel from the set as I find it too small. Instead I made my own easel for this 5 x 6 1/2" card.

The beige you see is actually a matte gold paper. I've put acetate in the windows, gold gem for the door knob. MB trees cut in white sparkle paper and set behind the window.

The sleigh is a MB die, as well as the Merry Christmas sentiment.

Quite a lot of work to this one....and no colouring but I was happy with the outcome.
