February Rudolph Day

Its the 25th of the month, so you know what that means by now?

It's Rudolph Day!

Every month on the 25th we share our christmas cards that we've made.

It's a fabulous way of building up the stash before the big day,

and you know how time flies by......!

Today I'm showing the prize I won in the

Snippets Playground...

(thanks Miss Di, I LOVE it!))

A Penny Black stamp called Chill Day....

cute huh?

Had hours of fun colouring these in with pens...

on the one on top I got a splodge of ink bah humbug,

so I chucked some glitter on, then chucked on some more until I hid (almost)

the offending splodge! 

I used some embossing paste with glitter on some,

and just glue and glitter on most....

then tried a wonky sentiment, stamped a few others until I found my preferred layout

(decided I wasn't in a "wonky" mood!)

managed to remember to stamp the envelopes too....

a new resolution.....we'll see how long THAT lasts!

Happy Rudolph Day!

Charming Cafe

I'm back with the Charming Cafe,

but this time I'm just using this set, and featuring the window as the backdrop.

This time I've used pretty DSP,

which I've stuck to the card front, before die cutting.

Then I stamped and die cut the chairs,

as well as stamping and fussy cutting the window blind from a scrap of the same DSP 

When I stamped the window, I inked it up, then gently highlighted the bricks

in a different colour with a marker pen, to define them.

If I time it right I might make it to the Snippets Playground with this one...

do join the friendly bunch over there when you have time, it's well worth it!

True Gentleman

Today I'm sharing one for the guys,

using True Gentleman DSP and Tailored Tag Punch

from Stampin' Up!

I got the inspiration from Pinterest.

Embossed the background card with the Hexagons Dynamic Embossing Folder,

punched shapes from the DSP, then faffed around with the layout.!

In the end I positioned the sentiment first, then placed the rest around it.

I felt it had more balance that way.

I fussy cut a border for the sentiment, raised it on foam pads to make it pop.

Let The Good Times Roll again

I used to love rollercoasters,

did the Disney theme parks, as well as theme parks in the UK, Spain and France,

even got T-shirts to prove it!

Just love playing with this Bundle from Stampin' Up!

To make the Pop up is a bit fiddly.....requires gentle patience,

but worth it for the wow factor.

The other good thing is it has lots of component parts you can use as well.

Charming Café Bundle by Stampin' Up!

As soon as I saw this set, I fell in love......
memories of being abroad watching the world go by,
and sunny days in gardens with friends....
ooooooo how I'm longing for warm sunny days!

I also wanted to try something out with Mediterranean Moments stamp set,
I don't often get those "light bulb " moments, but this is one....

...The chairs are so similar, so I thought it would make a nice backdrop,

with the Cafe chairs in the foreground.

This Cafe set is in the Spring Catalogue 146361,

and it has adorable stamps, combined with the Framelits 145665,

makes it such a versatile set, and the Bundle is a bargain!

I tried various ways of using it, I think this one was a diecut front with the backdrop adhered behind

I also had the dilemma of to colour or not to colour!

So I went with some colour on most of them!

Decided to colour the tablecloth in this one below......

 I cut the backdrop with a circle die and adhered inside the card

Then there's the dilemma of adding the garlands, and cute topiary pots or not!

On one I tried to draw in lines to continue the "window" upwards,

made a mess so it got covered with a garland!

I then decided to try the street scene out on some scrap paper,

I think it works, but then I'm no artist so the perspective may be wrong?

This made a nice simple flat one to go in the post.

I had quite a few birthday cards to make, plus I was trying to design one for my next Class,

and you can see I really enjoyed playing! 

I decided to lump my pictures together instead of doing separate posts,

as they are a bit "samey".

Plus it's Sunday, so you may get chance to relax and look at some pics!

I might pop over to the Snippets Playground with this one.....lots of white snippets!

I hope you enjoy today wherever you are, whatever you do.....
