Me and my Teddy Bear….

 My mum used to sing that to us when we were babes.

(Some of you probably won’t know this lullaby?)

This card is for an avid Bear collector..

Another old wooden stamp from a friend.

I just stamped and coloured it with pencils and added a vertical greeting 

to balance it with the black DL card.

I used a blue blend pen to create the shadow, but went a bit heavy…

I think it’s a cute stamp though.

Have a great day

Spooky…..!

If you’re of a nervous disposition, do NOT  look down….👻🎃💀

BOO!

As soon as I saw this die, I had this idea…it cuts and embosses a hole.

The black card shows through, added the googly eyes…scarily wonky obviously 🙄 

and a scary web.

The teeny pumpkin was a gift….so cute, and an old sentiment finishes it off.

Hope it makes you smile 😊 

Have a great day

coming home for Rudolph Day

 This is a book fold I made ages ago, and kept for a Rudolph day post,

which I nearly forgot about this month.

It’s using some really old papers, but an interesting design cased from

Emma Goddard of Coastal Crafter fame.

So this is for the Rudolph Day challenge

Have a great day

Rose against the wall

 This is my favourite using the Worn Trellis

I love the embossed detail on the die cut rose.

Stencilled the background, and cut phrases from snippets of white card

(who doesn’t have a mountain of those?!)

Taking this to the Snippets Playground, where there’s always prizes and surprises!

Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate your visits and comments.

Christmas Mice

I need more practice colouring in, so here’s two cards …..

I was so lucky to be able to use some of a friends stash of wooden stamps,

and couldn’t resist this cute one…

I stamped this one on crumb cake card and coloured with pencils…

…..adding some white dots and highlights with a gel pen.

I happened to have a white frame in my stash.

Then I stamped onto white card, this time using blend pens to colour.

I added a layer of gold and red card, plus touches of wink of Stella.

I can’t decide whether to leave alone, or add a sentiment, and maybe some gems?

I’m taking this to the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown (mice)

Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate your visits and comments.

A little dear in the pink plus THAT star

Another Christmas card inspired by the Aspen dies from SU.

Its another from that paper pack!

I used a delicate pink cardstock to compliment the paper, 

and positioned it to show him peeking through the trees.

It doesn’t show, but the trees are cut from velvet white paper, so so soft.

I think that is all the papers used and shared?

Do you remember this….

Finally found a star…stamped one….die cut one… and added one of the new SU metallic ones.

Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate your visits and comments.

Bridge fold snowmie

 Today is a bridge fold with that lovely paper…..

Do make sure you visit SU and look up Online Exclusives.

Even if you get/look at a catalogue, there’s more online, including the Clearance Rack.

It gets constantly updated, and there’s new kits too.

This bridge fold uses almost the whole 6x6 sheet.

I added a die cut from PPCrafts for the snow hill.

And a cute snow person , which I ended up partly fussing cutting (long story 😂🙄).

Glittered a few bits, and used a gifted sentiment from a Clarity sheet.

I’m taking this over to the Christmas Kickstart Challenge #78

Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate your visits and comments.
