Teddy Giving ,,, :-)

Hi all :-) crikey, can you believe we are already in November !! The sun is still shining here ,, gorgeous weather !  :-)

We have a new theme over on the Papertake Weekly Challenge ,,, 

ANYTHING GOES,,,,with optional extra of Christmas

We are sponsored by the lovely ladies over at Lili of the Valley so a fab prize on offer for one lucky entrant :-)

I decided to make hubby’s card ,,,, shhh :-) 

I used this very cute Teddy Giving image from the Wild Rose Studio ,, isn’t it CUTE :-) 

I will link products at the bottom of this post, I coloured with Copics then added some prismacolor pencils too, I love the  added depth of colourthis gives, and should use them more often ,,,,

I kept the card fairly simple as hubby really doesn’t like my fussy ones ,, I have to agree with him actually, I do tend to be moving away from fussy and am preferring the more CAS style.

Our GD’s and the DT have made some gorgeous cards so please hop on over to the PTW to see them :-)

For my card I used this super cute House Mouse Beaded Tree image ,, don’t you just love how he is decorating his pine cone ,,, awww :-)

I will link all the products used at the bottom of this post. The pine cone was a free weekly download from the Silhouette Store, I should have arranged the cone a bit better so they are not ‘in a row’,,, never mind,, I had fun making it. After I assembled I sprayed with glimmer, dabbed with snow cap and finished with glitter ,, looks so fab IRL :-)

Simon Says Stamp November Card Kit ,,,,

Hi all :-) I hope you’re all having a lovely weekend and for those of you affected by the terrible storm I am thinking of you all xx

I had a little crafty time to play yesterday and having recently received the fab November Card Kit I thought I would just open it up and see where I went ,,, at the back of my mind I was thinking about making an engagement card,,, but it didn’t quite work out like that,,, back to the drawing board ,,  :-)

I will link all the products I used at the bottom , though practically everything was in the box ,, I love these kits, they are all so well co-ordinated it makes matching up things a breeze ! :-)

I heat embossed the larger heart and stamped the smaller one onto a little bit of one of the papers.  I cut thin strips of various papers to create the panel and then simply wrapped the twine around the larger heart, added a button to the smaller one and finished with Platinum Stickles on all the edges and used some gorgeous Glitter Ritz Stardust glitter around the small heart,, I LOVE this glitter :-)

Thanks for looking :-)  I appreciate your comments so please leave me one :-)

Challenges :

Hi all :-)  How are you all ? I hope you’re all well and finding some crafty time :-)

We have a new theme starting today over on Lili’s Little Fairies Challenge and as I am on Team ‘A’ I get to join in this week ! :-)

Snow Is Falling !! :-)

so lets see cards with lots of snow on them :-)

I am not sure who is sponsoring so will add that asap :-)

I used this very cute Girl Sledging stamp, she looks like she is having fun in the snow with her little bunny eh ! :-)

I coloured with Copics and inked the edges with Tumbled Glass DI. I added Crystal Glitter on her hat and coat trims,Star Dust Stickles on the snow and I used a Viva Decor Ice White pen for the falling snow. 

  I cut some  Bazzill Peppermint Red card using my new Spellbinders Fancy Ribbon Threader die and threaded some Saddle Stitch Ribbon through and used a Craft Dee Bowz bow maker to tie the bow.  The sentiment tags are from LOTV and I used a Martha Stewart Snowflake punch and Holiday Shapes die for the little star.

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

Hi all :-) I am here with a reminder that you still have a week to join in with the Crafty Ribbons Christmas Challenge :-)

I made a very quick and easy card showcasing the fab Snowmen Ribbon designed by Ali  ! :-)

I love the black/white combo on the ribbon and just added a touch of colour to their carrot noses with a copic marker. I used a Swiss Dots Embossing Folder for the background. The Happy was cut using a ‘Oh happy Day’ die, which is glittered and very sparkly IRL :-)  I added a Himalayan snowflake with a  Vintage button and twine to finish :-)
