Yes... it's another Snowman!




Hi Lovlies...

Well, this is my last Christmas card this year, and again, I’ve used my favourite Snowman! This time, I created a background by blending distress inks, then using a @tayloredexpressions twinkle large stamp.. heat embossed with sparkly white. 

I coloured and fussy cut the snowman, shaping him with an embossing tool and adhering him to the card with foam pads. Lastly I added a tiny sentiment from MFT.

Now… I’d just like to wish all of my crafty friends and followers a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and a wonderfully crafty new year! Thank you for all the likes, comments, love and support I’ve received throughout 2025! ❤️

LOTV Reindeer Trio


Hi Lovelies...

Today I'm back with a few cards I made with an older stamp set from LOTV - the Reindeer Trio!  I have lots of LOTV stamps... I really must get around to sorting them!  Anyways... this one caught my eye, so out it came to be coloured up...

After colouring, I die cut the images, using the 'out of the line' technique, where you use scissors to cut up to the inner circle around the scarf etc, so that it doesn't get cut with the die... sorry that's not a good description, but hopefully you get it!


Then I added the reindeers onto a card panel that I'd stamped with a small sentiment from Poppy Stamps.  I matted that onto coloured card stock, then onto my card.  I added some glitter to the image too, but it's not showing on the photo.


And this is the red version!


Card Info:
Image - LOTV Reindeer Trio
Sentiment - Poppy Stamps
Dies - Li'l Inkers Stitched Circle
MFT Stitched Rectangle
Glitter

I made a few of these cards, as they were so easy.. think they may have to be put in my 'to use' box for next year now!

Happy Crafting..

Winter Scene Eclipse Card 2


Hi Lovelies...

I'm back with a second eclipse card today, this time a slightly different scene, but with the same circle slats used... and adding the diecut reindeer.

To make an eclipse card, the image (which I found online), is printed twice onto card, then one is diecut with a circle slatted die from Craft Addiction UK.  This diecut image is then adhered with foam tape over the uncut image, and finished with glitter (which unfortunately doesn't show on the photo), and matted onto navy card.  I love these reindeer dies, so I added one in the corner.  Again, I didn't think a sentiment was needed.

Hope you like my make today!  I think I'm getting to the end of my Christmas makes - time to get them posted!

Winter Scene Eclipse Card 1


Hi Lovelies...

I've been playing with eclipse cards again - this time for Christmas, and have found a couple of images from png.wing which fitted the bill perfectly for me.

The first one I used was a wreath shape, with a winter scene in the centre.  After printing it twice, sizing it to match the die, I used the circle slatted die set from Craft Addiction UK to cut the top image, placing the other image behind, and adhering it there with thin foam tape.  This just gives a bit of depth between the images.

I matted it on to some navy cardstock to match the image, and give it some twinkle with my glue pen and some iridescent glitter - unfortunately, it doesn't show up on the photographs... grrr!

I did wonder about a sentiment, but felt it was better kept simple with the sentiment inside.

Hope you like my card today...  these eclipse cards are relatively easy and quick to make, and I think, are very effective!

Pretty Pink Posh Winter Trees


Hi Lovelies..

OK I'm a bit late with this post as it went on Instagram on Thursday - but better late than never!

I've used the gorgeous Winter Trees set from Pretty Pink Posh again, this time cutting just the three of the smaller tree die - one in pink glitter card! I cut a stitched rectangle, then placed the trees in a row, using my T square ruler, to get them level!  Lastly, I added a small sentiment below the trees.

The Greetery Mistletoe


Hi Lovelies...

Today my card is another for my Christmas pile..  this time I used the Mistletoe die set from The Greetery.

I cut the mistletoe from card that I'd smooshed with various green Distress Oxides..  then I die cut the berries and coloured them with Copics.  I diecut the rectangle and adhered the mistletoe and berries, then added a bow that I'd cut from glitter card using a die set from Craft Addiction UK.

I adhered the mistletoe to the die cut rectangle, then added the berries.  I used Glossy Accents to give the berries shine and shape.  Then I added a tiny sentiment, heat embossed in gold onto red card.  I added a few sequins too to match the gold, then matted and layered onto kraft card, then red card.
