I am aways scrambling to make last minute Christmas gift tags and this year I am determined to be better organised. This fabulous Winter Side-Order Thinlits Die and Embossing Folder Set from Tim Holtz is perfect for making those essential tags, this set makes life so much easier!! Thanks Tim! :-) 

I splattered a Tim Holtz die cut tag with Distress Resist Spray and when it was dry I blended Spiced Marmalade and Stormy Sky Distress Oxide Inks over the top. I used some scraps of Tim Holtz Paper for the mittens and the hat, added a sprinkling of glitter to the pom pom and snowflakes and a little to the embossed snowdrift too. I love how this has turned out, cute don't ya think! :-) 

Thanks for looking!

Stampendous, House Mouse Peppermint Sledding

I am here with a reminder to please join in with the House Mouse and Friends Challenge. This time the fabulous and super talented Sue K is the hostess and the theme is 

Anything Goes 

OR Option theme

In the Holiday Spirit 

I  used a super cute Peppermint Sledding Cling Stamp.

Aren't they adorable hurtling down the slope full of the joys of winter!! ;-)
I coloured with Copic Markers and added a little extra shading with Polychromo Pencils. I love the depth of colour that combining these 2 colouring mediums adds the to image.

Those beautiful snowflakes are from a Tim Holtz Winter Sie Order Set and I added some red twine and a lovely little Christmas 'Joyful' Token

and I finished the inside using a Merry Mice Clear Stamp Set

Penny Black Cheers!

Hi everyone :-) I hope you're all having a lovely weekend!

I am thinking of all of those affected by the horrific fires in California, my heart is with you all and hope you are all safe XXX ❤️

I made a couple of cards using a Penny Black Cheers Cling Stamp, I have used this stamp quite often and I have to say, it is one of my all time faves, perfect for so many family and friends ;-)

I coloured with Copic Markers and added a little shading with Prismacolor Pencils. I highlighted the design by diecutting the Birch Press Stitched Heart, I adhered several layers to make it pop up and I love the extra interest and depth this gives the design. 

I finished with a Simon's Exclusive 'Cheers' Die 

and I finished the inside using a Simon's Exclusive Painted Happy Birthday Die 

Next up is a similar card made for my SIL's 50th Birthday!

and I finished the inside
