Puppy Kiss

 Hi there, hope your Christmas preparations are going well.

I’m having a short break from it to share this…



It’s a winter birthday card, using some SU paper background,
and a Penny Black wooden stamp Puppy Kiss.


As it’s for a birthday, I die cut some flowers, stamped and cut an extra paw,
to cover the mistletoe. I coloured the bobble hat to match the flowers.



Challenges….
Penny Black SaturdayChallenge, Winter Wonderland, or anything goes.

 P.s. I did a software update on my tablet, and now Blogger is throwing up posts from years ago (average 6 to 9!),

Is it just me?!

Take care and see you soon

Gift cards with Reindeer fun

 Happy Rudolph Day! (a bit late)

Time to enter the Rudolph Day Challenge….


(A)
I used (SU) Reindeer Days paper again and fussy cut the Reindeer,
retired lush paper, and the snowy hill from the Greetery.
These are gift card/money holders.

(B)
I had to weight them closed to take a picture, but I tried to create a comical scene,
one is about to crash into the snowman, the other about to do the splits on the ice! 😂


You might notice the shiny foil…..





Take care and see you soon

Reindeer fun with Allsorts

 I can’t resist entering the Allsorts Challenge again,

this week the theme is Ribbon or Twine….


I used red and white twine for this, using the SU set Reindeer Fun.
I stamped the snowflake background with SU Snowflake Sky, 
die cut the aperture into shimmery white card,
added Greetery hills in white and glitter card, fussy cut the deer from the SU paper,
and added the embellishments.


The weather has been quite dull recently, and whilst writing this post I noticed something odd.
I must have taken pics of this card in two positions, trying to get the best light.


The thumbnail photos showed a distinct difference in the white/irridescent glitter paper..
the first set of photos looks blue and the second pink !🧐


Anyway, I’m taking this to the Allsorts Challenge #808 (twine),

I used snippets for the snowy hills and embellishments.

Both have fabulous prizes 😉

Take care and see you soon

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 😃


Take care and see you soon
