Car mechanics

 I hope you’re enjoying the holidays.

Today I’ve a birthday card for the Snippets Playground, where the theme is NOT Xmas.

https://pixiessnippetsplayground.blogspot.com/2022/12/challenge-444-anything-but-christmas.html

I have quite a few birthday cards to make around Christmas, here’s one…

I used snippets of paper layered up, the car was from another paper snippet.

The letters were die cut from snippets and raised up with a white shadow.

The greeting was stamped on a white snippet and fussy cut.

I added a metal key and spanner, stapled to a die cut cog from another snippet!

Christmas Tree scene

 I have some NBUS (Never-Before-Used-Schtuff! )

So, having got all my cards done, I found some time for this…

I wanted to practice some scene building, so kept the colours quite soft

I did an envelope to match, something I often forget…

I’m entering the following challenges

Let it snow

 Well it’s been very cold here in the UK, and we had a fair bit of snow which is still frozen

A quick and simple make, stamped some snowflakes in versamark,

Blended some ink over them,

Added  an inked sentiment and some glittery snowflakes and snowflake sequins

As usual I’ve missed http://allsortschallenge.blogspot.com/

But I’m entering the following

It’s beginning to look….

 Allsorts Challenge Blog have a theme

"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas"

I’d been wanting to use some Cardio stamps I’d been gifted…..

I do think I need more practice at making these scenes, but enjoyed having a go.

I hope you can see the fireflies sparkle, but I added some snowflake sequins too.

Do take a look at the inspiration on the Allsorts blog.

Christmas tags

 Hi there, are you still prepping for Christmas like me?

So today I’m sharing some tags.

I bought a kit from Stampin’ Up! that makes some good sized tags

They have a pocket that you place on the back, for gift cards/vouchers etc

There’s also some left over pieces that I made extra tags with…all the positive images from the apertures.

I used card scraps to place them on tags using one of the many new dies.

I also made some tags using scrap cardstock to decorate my class goodie bags,

As well as crackers from snippets of paper, which is another new die.

The poinsettias were also cut from snippets…..I don’t waste much at all!

I’m dashing over to the Snippets Playground Challenge with my snippets homework.

Have you seen all the Christmas lights on the tree house?!

I hope you have a good weekend 

Lesley
