Hello Everyone!
Christmas is getting closer and I’m getting near the end of my festive card making frenzy!
The Less is More colour challenge this week is traditionally festive – red and green! Here is my take using a Simon Says Stamp die. The greeting is from a set by My Sentiments Exactly.
I’m also entering this into Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge (anything goes) and the Simon Says Stamp Fickr challenge (Christmas).
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi everyone!
This week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge inspired me to look through my oval dies – and I found an older Memory Box die which I thought would be perfect for the challenge! It’s a really substantial die, so I rotated the sketch to create a landscape card.
I cut some regular white card stock using the die and then used some distress inks to colour the snowflake and the bird. I then coated the remaining white card in Stickles.
While the die cut was drying, I softly blended more distress ink onto the base card so that the whole die cut would stand out a little more.
After adhering the image, I added another snowflake to reflect the sketch challenge.
I’m also entering this into the current Memory Box Challenge – ‘holiday greetings’.
Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Saturday everyone!
I’m spending the day in my craft room, making my Christmas cards! I am determined to get them done before the last posting date….
For this card, I used some glitter cardstock from DCWV and dies from Poppystamps and Savvy Stamps. I stuck the tree onto a vellum base before adhering it to a panel made from a piece of Bazzill Bling cardstock.
I’m entering this into the current Casology challenge (round) and also the Color Throwdown challenge (black, white, gold, grey).
Thanks for stopping by!

Happy December everyone!
Well, my Christmas tree and lights are up and I’m starting to feel quite festive – are you?
For today’s card, I used dies from Simon Says Stamp and My Favorite Things and lots of glitter paper. For a little extra interest/sparkle, I also added some Nuvo glitter drops to the background.
I’m entering this card into the current Less Is More challenge – ‘let it shine’.
Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Sunday everyone!
It’s time for a new challenge over at AAA Cards. This fortnight’s theme is Christmas and Uniko is our sponsor.
I’ve been making Christmas cards for a while now, but with a heavy frost over the past couple of nights, it’s definitely feeling more wintery here – perfect for staying in and creating! For my card I used a gorgeous scribble tree die by Simply Graphic which I cut from three different colours of glitter paper. I stuck these to my base card and then added a Penny Black sentiment – I quite like the contrast between the modern tree and more traditional font of the sentiment… what do you think?
My teammates have shared some gorgeous CAS cards on the AAA Cards blog and we are also joined by Guest Designer Cathy from Cathy’s Card Spot. She has some amazing creations on her blog, so please drop by her site!
Thanks for stopping by – I do hope you play along with us!

Hi there!
I’m playing along with Tracey McNeely’s 25 Days of Christmas Tags event this year.
The sponsor for Day 24 was Right at Home. There was more great inspiration in the gallery and I particularly loved the tag that Tracey created for this day! As I don’t have many Right at Home products, I used a die from Impress Cards and stamp from Simon Says Stamp for my take.
Thanks for stopping by!
