Trio of funky snowmen 7" x 5" Christmas Wishes card -  day 334 of my 366 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! Snowmen rock today for my latest card for my 366 day challenge - once again I have time travelled as I realise that there is only 32 days left of my challenge so this one should have been 334.... Anway... How I made this card:- I really love these topper sheets from Hunkydory - this one is from the "Sparkling Season" Little Book of toppers and only used one of them.   I first of all mat and layered it on to some "Snowy" Mirri card pre-cut A6 sheets again from Hunkydory, As I felt it needed a bit of colour, I then added it on to a panel of "Green and White" spotty paper (this is from Kanban) leaving a small border around it.  I also edged the whole panel using a "Green" alcohol marker and then placed it on to the 7" x 5" card which I had turned on its' side to make it a "landscape" one.

Trio of Christmas Tree C6 cards - very quick and easy to make...  Day 335 of my 366 daychallenge Hi Craft addicts! Today's card is a trio of Christmas cards using some Peel off stickers on some C6 cards. How I made these cards:- These are peel off outline sticker which you can get from Craft Creations  (the black one doesn't now appear to be available at the moment) but you can use any colour obviously. The red one is using the red and gold "Christmas Tree edge" and all I did was to place it at the bottom of the card, making sure that the Christmas Tree edge peel off sticker was "butted" up to the open side of the card. (I had made one where I cut it out so the inside of the card showed through). I then took three of the "streamer" bits that comes with the sticker and added them. I also used a "Father Christmas" sticker that also comes from Craft Creations  and placed it to the left of the panel - as it was white, I...

Seasons Greetings Baubles and flowers Christmas Card - Day 334 of my 366 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! Today's card is a bright Christmas card using Tonic Studios dies and some bright red background card. How I made this card:- This card is a 5" x 7" white card that I have turned on its' side to make a landscape one. I first of all cut out the "Bells" in Silver mirror card and then 2 of the "Poinsetta" again out of the silver card. These dies are from the Tonic Studios Christmas range last year. I had a "bright red" C6 scalloped edged card and cut the front part off and placed it on the 7" x 5" card in the middle. I used some "Black and gold" strips (Peel off stickers) and added them to the card to make a frame. I then added the "Bells" to the middle of the red panel using Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue. I cut the 2 "Poinsetta" so that just the large flowers could be used and attached...

With Love - baby Rudolph 7x5in Christmas Card -  Day 333 of my 366 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! So for today's challenge, I have made this really cute Christmas card that I have made using the baby "Rudolph" die from Tonic Studios and some patterned papers from Kanban. How I made this card:- I really love this cute "Rudolph" image from Tonic Studios 2016 Christmas range and so I first of all cut it out twice, once in "black" and again in "Kraft" card - making sure to keep all the parts safe! I then stuck the black "Rudolph" outline to some "White" cardstock using Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue. I used the "Kraft" parts to fill in the main body and feet of Rudolph again using Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue making sure that they were the right ones of course! I coloured his scarf in using "Red" and "Blue" alcohol markers and a brighter shade of "Red" for his nose! I cut round t...

Rudolph on hand coloured background Christmas C6 card -  Day 332 of my 366 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! Today's card for my #366daychallenge is a Christmas card I made using a Tattered Lace die on a hand coloured background. How I made this card:- I cut out the "Reindeer" i n the " Blue" patterned double sided card from Kanban using a Tattered Lace die. I used a double sided adhesive sheet (I must remember to work out which side of the card I wanted it to show before doing it the next time!) which allowed me to stick the "Reindeer" down without any gungy glue going on the card. I then coloured the card with some "Bahama Blue" ink (from Memento) and "Green - G01" from Generation INX (Stamps by Me) to create a landscape. I also used a Zentangle pencil to add a skyline and some shadow. I also added the "NOEL" letters which are peel off style from DoCrafts. Finally I added a few drops of "Duck Egg...
