The Last Christmas Card

I have been snowed in all day at home, the roads out of our village are covered in snow, hopefully it will have cleared a bit by tomorrow as I still have some food shopping to do before Christmas.

At least it means that I have managed to finish my last Christmas card which is for my husband. The stamp is a Sugar Nellie, coloured with Copics, papers are free from a magazine, with a border of bright blue glitter paper punched with Martha Stewart Stars border punch. I added a snowflake charm and computer generated greeting. I am going to enter this for the challenge at Simon Says which is "Merry Christmas".

I would just like to wish everyone who visits my blog a very Happy Christmas and a great New Year.

Z-Folds : My Time to Craft

My card today is for My Time to Craft challenge which this week is "Z-Folds". I folded my A4 sheet into three and cut a diagonal across the first two sides, the paper I used was a free one from a magazine. Stamp is Snowflake Daisy from Squiggle Stamps coloured with Copics and Crystal Stickles. The borders across the top of each section are white crystal glitter paper punched with Martha Stewart Lattice Arch edge punch. Finished with a white flower covered with crystal glitter, a tree charm and computer generated sentiment.

Yuletide Wishes

This week's challenge at My Time to Craft is "Yuletide Wishes" do join in if you can. I used an Anna Griffin stamp, stamped with Versacolour burgandy and embossed with clear ep onto a circle and scallop circle cut with Nestabilities. The papers are Bo Bunny, glitter paper from my stash and I cut the border with Martha Stewart Stars edge punch, and then used the cut out stars to edge around the circle and added a ribbon.

Magic Cupcake

A card today for the Recipe after the blog hop at There's Magic in the Air. At the end of the blog hop Nina had this free digital image for you to use in a card recipe as follows:

I coloured the image with Copics.

Use 1 tag - I used a tag and added a peel off greeting

Add 2 textures - Image matted onto paper put through Cuttlebug folder and one piece of lace.

Mix three pattern papers - mine were Basic Grey Sugared

Fold in four pieces of ribbon - One piece on tag and three loops of ribbon on side of image

Sprinkle with 5 brads or buttons - four brads around my image and one heart button.

There's Magic in the Air Blog Hop

Having completed the blog hop at There's Magic in the Air the secret sentence is: "Paper cupcakes where the main ingredient is love". Lovely blog hop, some gorgeous cards and yummy recipes.

O Little Town of Bethlehem

Not a lot of time for challenges at the moment but really wanted to enter the one at Rainbow Lady's, and I am on the last minute, the challenge to produce a card with the theme of a Christmas carol and to use a black base card. The stamp I used is a Wendie Rhodes and it represents Bethlehem to me. I coloured with Copics, the papers are Basic Grey and from my stash, the title is computer generated and I added a couple of adhesive stone stars and really kept it quite simple.

My Time to Craft - Christmas Foliage

Well at last I have found a few minutes to post, the time is flying by at the moment, I have been to the Christmas play of two of my granddaughters this afternoon, going to another one tomorrow and then have one next week.

Now back to my DT card for My Time to Craft Challenge which this week is Christmas Foliage. I have used an Anna Griffin stamp, stamped with Brilliance Pearlescent Ivy and embossed with clear ep, I then put Crystal Stickles on the top. The background paper is also Anna Griffin and the border beneath the image was made using a Martha Stewart edge punch and adhesives stones added. I finished with a bow and a Red Hot Bed sentiment.
