SEASONS GREETINGS ...

A couple of fun interactive Christmas cards to share today, loving the Dancin range from Spellbinders; this one is titled quite simply Dancin Penguin, super fun and very simply to construct.

Pattered paper from my stash on DL card blanks, greeting.  Some old Doohickey snowflake dies with gems.  A little white highlight and shaped bellies, plenty of skating fun for all.

So seeing as I haven't blogged much this year, naughty naughty, I thought I would post a creation a day throughout the month of December for a variety of occasions and not just Christmas, enjoy.

Deck the Halls ...

I am the Guest Designer for the month of November and the challenge is super easy,

Anything Goes with the option Pink Christmas

So I have created a door hanger for a little ones bedroom this Christmas, I have used gorgeous Holly Wreath Tilda which has to be one of my all time favourites.  I have cut several door hanger shapes on my Silhouette in Kraft and stuck them together, so its nice & solid.  Plenty of Doohickey dies; including snowflake, doily, mistletoe, holly, branch, musical notes, heart & rocking horse from various box collections over the years.  Sneaked in a little new purchase (along with a few others ha ha) of the Twisted Crepe by The Greetery which have finally come to be stocked here in the UK. Coloured with Promarkers, pink ribbon, papers from Nitwit Collections, flowers, gems and hand stitched to finish.

My last two Christmas cards, well lanterns actually.  I adore this Tilda, Holly Wreath Tilda from the Apsen Holidays 2016 collection.  Adapted file on my Silhouette, vellum windows, snow, flowers, gold & pink organza ribbon, cheesecloth, berries and many Doohickey dies.  I have added a square top with stars cut out so the light shines through too.  Gesso for that shabby chic look and pop a little battery tealight inside.

Winter Wishes ...

Been a while since my last post, I did say as one of my new year resolutions I would make

one Christmas card a week so there wouldn't be a mad rush, needless to say that didn't happen.  I decided to make one a day in the month of October, well I have made some but I am still behind.  One down many many more to come.  I did purchase several of the new Stamp & Cutz from Magnolia but the others weren't Christmas so I inked this one up first!

I have made a bauble shaped card today using one of the new Stamp & Cutz from Magnolia, this one is called Cocoa Tilda & Snow Flurries, so that is the stamp and snowflake dies as a duo.

I have also used the Magnolia log stamp from way back when.  Flowers, buttons, ribbons, pine cone charms, star die, tree die, berries.  The branches, twigs & holly are from various Doohickey Club kits. Hand stitched & coloured with Promarkers.  The bauble card blank itself was cut on my Silhouette.

The pretty papers are from NITWIT COLLECTIONS

Today I have a Stamping Bella image to share, I treated myself with several others

which will no doubt be making a appearance sometime soon here on my blog.

This one is titled 'Merry Everything' and seeing as it is a snow globe I have made a shaker

card with it, couldn't resist.  The sentiment is included & heat embossed in Silver.

If you look carefully you will spot that I have stamp & cut an extra penguin so he moves

around in the snow!

I have used Kraft card blank, flowers, berries, sparkle pin, bark heart, doily, button, ribbon & branches.  The snow is a mix of Flower Soft & Diamond Dust.  Coloured with Promarkers.

The paper is from NITWIT COLLECTIONS
