Cozy & Bright Kit

 Stampin’ Up! Keep bringing out new kits that are fabulous for quick cards.

They are good for stashing in your bag for making whilst out and about, 

whether on holiday, hanging around hospitals, or sharing with friends.

They come complete with everything you need except scissors!


This Christmas one, is one of my favourites, you can almost smell the spices and orange.


You even get a lovely stamp set and block included to keep.
It has useful sentiments with fab fonts.

I did use an old favourite to stamp inside the card


I took this picture to show how I can never tie the same bow twice!


Have a great day

More Gnomes to rehome

Hi there, sharing a couple more Kindest Gnomes, using the cute papers 


Embossed the background...


.........hoping it's ok for the "Autumn" Snippets Playground Challenge


Used some snowflake paper brrrrr...


Below right I shared earlier, but wanted to share a tip...


I fussy cut the mountain range, then raised it up on snippets of card,
instead of using foam pads.......a great way to use those scraps and save money!


As I've used snippets, I'm entering the Snippets Challenge, #440
with an optional theme of  Autumn / Halloween.

Have a great day

One sheet wonder for Rudolph

Rudolph Day Challenge comes around so quickly,

so here's a quick idea to build your stash using a one sheet wonder like I did HERE.

Then cut into four panels, mounted onto card blanks with some twine and a sentiment.

I had to add some Xmas bling with gems from my stash ;)

One Sheet Wonder

Here's a quick and simple idea to make at least four cards.

l was inspired by Emma Goddard, who recommended leaving some white space,

so not filling all of your A4 sheet with stamping. 


She also added some "splats"....lots of stamps provide this for you,
making it easier to position.
Hopefully above, you can see the difference it makes?


Here's the four simple cards...

Caroling Mice

 Hi there

Today’s card is using Caroling Mice.

This is a cute group of carol singers, which I coloured using watercolour pencils.




I went around the edge of them all with pale blue, and a bit of “glow” with yellow.


I wanted a few music notes, but wanted them to be subtle, so used blue ink.


I hope you can hear them singing!

The funeral for our late Queen Elizabeth was incredibly moving,
filling our hearts with sadness, love, hope, and pride.
The singing of the choir and congregation almost lifted the roof.

I know my little choir can’t do that, but hope they make you smile :)

CAS Aspen Trees

 Here’s a couple of simple cards I made some time ago, 

using Aspen Tree Dies, and some old background papers.

The beauty of this die is it creates the oval as well as cutting the trees.


I added a simple sentiment


Then a simple die cut deer in gold





I made another just using different paper and sentiment.


That’s another two for the box
