Hi there, I thought I’d share the lovely hand made cards I received recently….
(I belong to some crafty groups, hence so many)
A huge thank you to everyone 🤗
I am so lucky!

I recently got some of the Trusty Tools paper from SU,
which I knew would be easy to fussy cut.
I found lots of card ideas, from the many generous and talented designers that share them.
The following were cased from Helen Read, All Things Stampy…
Do visit her blog for more inspiration.

I’m on a mission to use up some of my older stash,
and at the same time use some of my new “toys” that have been waiting to come out to play.
I’m also taking this to Darnell’s NBUS as both these little dies are never before used schtuff!

I’m back with a few more cards using Spring Garden in different ways.
This is possibly the last of my layering stencil obsession cards….for now at least!
I used a couple more of my textured backgrounds.

I made some more cards using the layering stencils of Enduring Beauty,
and some more stencilled backgrounds with the shimmery paste…
The weather has been so dismal but here’s hoping for brighter days very soon!
I walked in the pouring rain to our mobile library that visits the village once a fortnight.
The books all have thick plastic covers, but I took extra plastic bags just in case!
It’s a marvellous service, and I’m trying to persuade
as many of my local book loving friends as possible to join in.
You know what they say…..use it or lose it…!

I’m so happy that Helen has taken up Rudolph’s reins, so that we can continue to be inspired to make our Christmas cards throughout the year.
The new site Rudolph Days Challenge is HERE
Maureen did a fabulous job of running this challenge for so long, for which we are all so grateful.
So here’s my card
This was meant to be a relatively quick and simple make 🙄
The technique challenge from 52 Christmas card Throwdown, which gave me this idea was….
I still had the Uniko stencil out, which I thought would give the effect without too much masking.
I’m trying to use up neglected stash and had some card blanks with a slight texture.🙄🙄
This did not help with the stamping, but I persevered, getting numerous stamp sets out to fit my sections.
I still had to mask off bits, and wipe ink off the stencil after stamping,
to prevent it transferring.🙄🙄🙄🙄
My final challenge was getting a decent photo in this dim and dismal light! 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
This was my first photo attempt, before trying numerous positions and lights.
Do visit these challenges for lots of inspiration and without the eye rolls 😂
The holly and ivy Christmas challenge #156 anything goes
Addicted to stamps and more #462 Christmas
Roll on spring!
Have a good week
