Still Christmas season


Happy Monday morning everyone. I hope you all had a wonderful New Year celebration and that everyone is ready and inspired for the new year. I didn't think that my first card for the year would be a Christmas card, but here we are..... I still have a couple of stamped images, so found these challenges that I could enter.

Karen's Doodles challenge calls for a "celebration" card.

Reasonable Ribbons challenge requires you to use something new - Nestie labels 13 and red Christmas brads

Craftyhazelnuts Christmas challenge requires a Christmas card - anything goes -

I used the following:
Paper: White cardstock, matted a green card which I ran through the cuttlebug with a Christmas folder and distressed it a little.
Image: is a freebie digital from Karen's doodles. I cut it out with my NEW Nestie labels 13 dies. Coloured with distress inkpads. I put some puff paint on the hat and brushed some stickles on. Used glitter on the present and the bow.
I also added a piece of red and green ribbon for the Reasonable Ribbon challenge.
Sentiment was stamped on a label and attached with 2 red Christmas brads that I received in an Advent swap that I took part in.

The Craftyhazelnuts Christmas challenge runs throughout the year, so by taking part at least you will have a stash of cards for Christmas.... now that's a good idea.
That's it from me, hope to be back shortly with another card.
If you are back at work have a great week, and if still on holiday enjoy the fun.

Christmas ornaments



Hello friends. It seems like ages since I last made a card. With pressure of work starting to ease off I decided to take part in some of the challenges on my PCP groups. This one is for Anything but cute group, using glitter. I must admit I love bling on my cards, but not a great fan of glitter, so it was a challenge. I just got a new set of Nesties "Heirloom ornaments", so decided to use them.

Card white, Matted onto that red shimmer card with a punched corner and sprayed with some gold glimmer mist. Cut 3 ornaments from a white shimmery card and then doodled with a glue pen and sprinkled gold glitter.
Image from a local company stamped and embossed in gold. Used peel-offs for the gold threads of the ornaments. I must say it was very quick, and I made two more at the same time, which I will show during the week.
Hope you are all having a restful weekend and for my friends in the North, keep warm.
Warm wishes
