Non traditional village

 I’m cracking on with my Christmas cards, how are you getting on?

Yuletide Village was a favourite stamp set from SU last year.

I used the masking technique to create my village and

used non traditional colours for fun.

We have a beautiful church in the village, up on a hill.

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

Take care and see you soon

Tag along

 Hello again, today I’m sharing a tag I made using Yuletide Village from SU.

I bought it late last year, so I wanted to use it for a lot of my Christmas cards and tags this year.

I sometimes buy a set for the following year so I can get a head start, 

and we all know how nice it is to play with something new.

I stamped the houses, then masked them to add “snow”.

Coloured them in with Blend pens, added wink of Stella to the white snow areas.

I then tied some ribbons and twine through the hole, 

adding a die cut piece of silver foiled paper to the die cut tag. 

(Old tag die, can’t remember the name)

It’s quite a large tag that is good for large or family gifts.

I’m entering Tag-along and ATC’s, 

using the Anything goes option, but I hope to return with a themed one soon 😃, based on tea or gin!

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

Take care and see you soon

Rudolph day came and went, but there’s always a Christmas card to share, if you make them all year,

and the Rudolph Days Challenge lasts until the end of the month.

Head over to Rudolph Days December Challenge

Magical village

 Another card for Stamping Sensations November Challenge

This time using SU Yuletide Village.

I coloured with blend pens and fussy cut the village,

after I’d stamped it in a pale blue, for the snow,

so I didn’t have to cut that part.

This will probably be in the anything goes theme,

although I think this stamp set is magical 😃

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.

Taking this to :

Jingle Bells, pink for the cure for breast cancer, 

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

Stampin Sensations, anything goes

We Love Stamping, anything goes

Inkspirational, anything seasonal
