Christmas presents and stockings

 Hello, hope you’re all keeping safe and well….

I’m desperately trying to get ahead with cards, but I’m not finding it easy in this heat,

which is soooooo frustrating.

Anyway I managed two small square cards using some old wooden stamps from Paper Nation,

which I then coloured and fussy cut (the girl and boy).

I used SU retired Ready for Christmas for the backgrounds.


There’s a few challenges I want to enter before the deadline, so…..


Little Red Wagon #869 (one thing)

Merry Little Christmas #69







Stay safe, keep cool (or warm), and see you soon!

Thanks for taking the time to visit, and I really appreciate your comments

Take care and see you soon

  2. Super images chosen for these Christmas cards, beautifully coloured too. More high temperatures again this week although surprise, we actually had a (very little) drop og rain yesterday which did manage to cool it just a bit. Everything just seems to take twice as long when it is so HOT all of the time 🥵. Frustrating indeed

  9. Love the slippers on the young girl. So cute.
    I really hope I find that missing Unity Stamp. I can't believe I haven't found it yet. I found a missing magnet on the back of my watercolor tins one time. But a whole stamp that's in a ckear sleeve and marked? I know you said you know about missing an item and the finding it. I'm hoping I'll have success too. [Bunny]

  10. I do like to ressurect my older stamps from time to time. These are great and well done on the fussy cutting. I had to buy some scissors with bigger finger holes so that I could still fussy cut occasionally, but of course I rely on my Cameo machine for much of it.
    A good addition to your Christmas card collection. I know it is hard work in this heat. Kate x
