Sooo Cute!

Hi Crafters,

I had a naughty :o) purchase before Christmas and treated myself to this Crafters Companion stamp and die set. This is the first chance I've had to play with them and here is my sweet card.

I hope you're having a lovely weekend.

See you soon,

Christmas Card Club Challenge #2 - Holly and or Ivy

Hi Crafters,

We are continuing to create Christmas cards every fortnight in our friendly group and today it was Elizabeth's choice of theme.

HOLLY and/or IVY

As you can see I went with the HOLLY theme :0)

The Sheena Douglas Holly stamp and die that I used on all these cards creates a large holly branch which makes a great embellishment or focal point on your cards or projects. I cut out the holly from cardstock that had previously been inked with distress inks and then used a Spectrum Noir Sparkle pen in Emerald Green to give them some shimmer.

Challenges I'd like to enter:

Allsorts Challenge - #555 More Than a Single Word Sentiment

CHNC Every Saturday - #473 ATG/Christmas/Use A Sentiment

Happy New Year!

Hi Crafters,

Well 2019 has been and gone and we are now already three days in to 2020 so I thought I had better share a card and get this year off to a good blogging start! :o)

I've had time over the Christmas break to play with my Cameo digital cutting machine and created an under the sea project for a family member. All the elements are cut on the Cameo except the sweet little mermaid which is a die purchased from CraftStash and coloured up with my trusty Promarkers.

Challenges I'd like to enter:

Crafty Creations - #405 ATG

Creative Inspirations - Something New OR Something Old

(My something old is my Cameo digital cutting machine, it doesn't get enough use and sits gathering dust most of the time so this was an opportunity to use it)

A Bit More Time To Craft - #107 ATG

I hope you all had a great end to 2019 and wish everyone a peaceful and healthy 2020.

I look forward to seeing you here and reading all your comments too.

Lorraine
