Snowy and Hedgy

 Hello again, for today’s I used a Penny Black wooden stamp,

coloured in and fussy cut.

I then placed them on some SU background paper, for a quick card,

adding some wink of stella sparkle

Just a quick tip before I go, do check your blogger comments occasionally,

as I’m often finding the odd one here and there that goes into spam or gets lost.

Justine Hovey inspired

 Two more cards for the box, inspired by Justine Hovey,

showing things can be quick and simple, although I’m not so good at the quick!

Using SU In Colour cardstock, die cut pine leaves and letters

Same but different…..

Quite like the fresh colours and modern feel……what do you think?

Christmas wreaths with Santa

 Today I have another couple of  Christmas cards,

both using a wreath die from SU, but completely different.

Love the Gummiapan Santa, sitting on a pine branch,

having a well deserved rest 😃., before he rushes off to join the Allsorts Challenge #804,

where the theme is cute and/or cuddly…..I think Santa is both don’t you?….

If not, there’s the anything goes category.

This one uses poinsettia flowers,SU, and also the SU wreath.

I’m taking this one to the Snippets Playground #492 ….

I remembered to take a picture of my Snippets too…..

die cut from small pieces of cardstock and bagged up.

Mid century modern wreath

 A couple more Christmas cards to share……stamps from Uniko,

and I’ve cased this first one from their blog…….

This was my favourite, the wreath is not meant to line up, and it’s good to get out of our comfort zone.

This below however was my first attempt and is ….ahem….words fail me 😂

Let’s just say….not quite what was in my head, then I kept adding bits….

I should have just stopped, but maybe someone will like it 🤔🙈😳

Uniko are having a celebration, so do visit for inspiration.

I’m entering the Rudolph day challenge with the first card.

Pink for the cure with Reindeer Days

 I’m back with another entry to the Jingle Bells Pink Christmas 

SU Reindeer Days and Spotlight on Nature dies, (a stand alone set of circles, soooo gorgeous),

and an SU embossing folder Woodland Textured, not used for a while.

I cut a red nose a few times, adding wink 😉 so it stands out.

The bells were cut from gold foil, the berries red glitter paper.

I was quite pleased with this……now do I add a sentiment….or not? 🤔

Taking this to :

Jingle Bells, pink for the cure for breast cancer, 

where there’s a donation by two lovely ladies to breast cancer research.

In the pink for the cure

 Hi, thanks for dropping in, this one is mainly for Jingle Bells,

pink Christmas for breast cancer ….

Using SU Yuletide Village and Falling Snow

I used different pink inks for everything except the trees.

I used scraps of card instead of foam pads, to raise the foreground images.

It’s something I do a lot, as it uses up scraps, and easier for posting.

It’s a lovely background stamp, and I built the village from a small selection of the stamps.

Lots of wink of Stella for sparkle.

Water lilies

 Another fairly simple Duck pond, using the DSP, which is quite bright.

I blended a blue background in the centre, creating a waterline, 

with die cut elements from coordinating card

This set has lots of potential for different looks, and I do like watching ducks 😃

I’m taking this to the Allsorts Challenge #802 (anything goes)

and the Snippets Playground #491, as I used lots of paper scraps for the diecuts.

Both challenges have fabulous prizes.
