It's a Hoot

 I had fun with these...

I joined up the branch with the tree (they're two individual stamps),

to make it look like the elder owl is laughing at the antics of the babes.

Decoupaged the owls, usd a blue blend pen to highlight images and sentiment,

and added snowflake sequins for sparkle

Next I stamp all images separately, using a red pen sparingly, adding a resin red heart

Then die cut holes in the tree paper and added decoupaged owls

That's another 3 done!

I’ll enter the last Rudolph Day Challenge of the year HERE

Have a great day

Merry & Bright

 Hi there, a little shaker to share...

The words die was a Lil' inker prize from the Snippets Playground some time ago,

that I often get out to pay with as it's so versatile.

I made a shaker card using some SU paper, card, ribbon and snowflake sequins.

I’m popping over to the Snippets Playground with this one,

as I used a snippet of pink paper, and a snippet of acetate.

Have a great day

Love You Lots

 This was a bit of fun, inspired by Emma Goddard.

Cute hedgehogs huh?

Can you see one has a little rose?

Have a great day

Puff Paint

 I used up some more Santa Express Memories & More cards, 

this time using some old blank cards and envelopes I had, which provided a good base.

The first two I fussy cut the banners (you get some multiples of the same design,

which is great for decoupage).

Adding twine and gems provide finishing touches

This card I cut into 3....a tip from Kim Fee,

then staggered them, adding one of the tags in the pack. 

This is my favourite, although it took little effort!

The card provides the scene, all I added was a die cut row of houses,

and some puff paint!

I just love the Snowfall Accents Puff Paint from SU,

heat it up and watch it react :)

I think I went a bit OTT and caused an avalanche!

Here's a close-up of the pack

Have a great day

Memories and more

I went to a team event recently and we used a pack of Memories and More to make cards.

Each pack contains lots of different items that can be used for scrapbooking, journaling or anything you like.

Above and below I used a gorgeous acetate sheet with white decorations…

I fussy cut Santa from one of the cards.

Below is a peek at the pack…

Some cards are great as toppers on their own.

I coloured One of the wooden elements with Blend Pen

 Added clouds and a tag..

Here’s the cards I’ve made so far

Some cards were used as inserts

Have a great day

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

Lesley
