Lili’s Little Fairies …. Christmas for the Boys :-)

Hi all :-) I’m back again with another card ,, this time it’s for the Lili’s Little Fairies Challenge whose theme this week is ,,,

Christmas for the Boys :-)

We are sponsored by Nitwits so a fab $10 voucher on offer this week ! :-)

I used this very cute Merry Christmas Penguins stamp which I just bought, along with one or 3 others :-)

I coloured with Copics, added a few silver stamped snowflakes and glittered  with star dust stickles. I embossed some plain white card with a Swiss Dots folder and the designer papers are from a Memory Box Pixie pack.  The North Pole sign was cut out on the Silhouette Cameo and I added glossy accents to the pole and crystal glitter on the snowy top :-) I punched a couple of  MS punches and popped a big gem in the middle to finish :-)

Thanks for looking, the DT have made some gorgeous cards so please hop over to the challenge blog to see them :-)

I used this gorgeous new stamp from the Wild Rose Studio  called Nativity Play.

I coloured with copics and inked the edges with stormy sky and vintage photo distress inks.

The lovely Organza Swiss Dots Ribbon is from the Crafty Ribbon Store.

October Card Kit Candy !! :-)

Hi all :-) the very lovely Heidi, the owner of Simon Says Stamp sent me the October Card Kit of the month ‘Forever and Always’ and said that if I made a card using it and post it on my blog I could have an extra kit to give away !!! Woo Hoo !! :-)

THANKS SO VERY MUCH HEIDI :-)

So I set myself a little challenge to make 2 cards using only products that are in the kit ,,, no other stamps, papers or embellies, though inks and tools I allowed myself,, and these are what I came up with. 

For the first one I stamped the flower image 3 times, once onto the background card, and twice onto pieces of the designer papers, cutting them all out and layering using scrap dots.  I used the Liquid Pearls on the pollen in the centre and stamped the sentiment using Memento Rich Cocoa ink. I added another strip of card and used some of the gorgeous ribbon and made a little button using a   Button Quartet die.  I slightly inked the edges with some Vintage Photo Distress Ink. 

I made this one next ,, making a circle aperture for the sentiment to be stamped on the inside. I cute some thin strips of the paper and matted these onto some black card and tore the edge,,  added some faux stitching using a white gel pen and I adhered one of the beautiful flowers on there too :-)

,

I really enjoyed playing with this kit ,,, going to play some more now ,, there is soo much more left to use !
