Snowy House

I blame Jennifer McGuire for this card, I saw one she made last year and I had to buy the die set. It was my intention to make these for my neighbours but I only made the one and its for my Mum lol.

It took a lot longer than I anticipated and I also discovered that I don't have any white glitter card so of course I need to order that now lol. I found some old pearl card and I used that for the snow parts. In real life it works really well and I hope my mum liked it.

One more sleep and I hope that this year everyone gets to celebrate with their loved ones in person and not just via zoom.

Sweet Chocolate

Todays is my friends birthday and I know the card has reached her so I can show it on here. I saw a similar card on instagram and I didn't have the die so I made the chocolate squares on my cricut and cut them out, each one is three layers thick to give the illusion of real chocolate. The card stock is not as dark as my camera has made it look and in real life its more milk than dark chocolate. 

The funny story attached to this card was that after I made it and showed a friend during a call and she said, why hadn't I used my die and I said I didn't have one and she said yes you do so I went to look (to prove her wrong of course lol) and she was right lol.

Deer Bauble

I was determined to use this stencil from inkylicious and also the silhouette stamps from issue 100 of creative stamping. This card came together so quickly I was amazed and again I wish I had made more of this design. 

Every year I say I wish I made more of each design and I rarely revisit them so maybe my resolution should be to make more of this years designs ready for next year so I am not so stressed.

More Gnomes

After I used the free gnomes from Creative Stamping I bought the full set from Crafters Companion, I really love the way these ones are drawn and they are a decent size too. I had a few snowglobe backgrounds left over so rather than waste them I used them for these cards.

I hope you are all ready for the big day, I have delivered all my cards and presents and am just waiting for the turkey to arrive and I am done.

HoHoHo

A friend gave me this die last year and I was wondering how to put it together when I spotted a snowflake background left over from the Merry Christmas cards I made previously. It worked so well I am surprised I only made two of these. There is always next year I suppose lol

O Christmas Tree

Now when I decided this was going to be my playday friends card I really didn’t look at how much colouring would be involved and I also didn’t factor in that I would have a week to make 20 of them. It wasn’t an ordinary week either as after being ill with bronchitis for 6 weeks I was finally better and had several catch ups planned lol. 

After all that I am pleased with how they came out I tried to colour the dogs and cats slightly differently and have input a few different styles below.

Its the last Sunday before christmas and that should mean that I am all ready but unfortunately I am not, maybe next year will be different.

Cat in the Tree

I bought this stamp set last year and I have only just tried it out, it was a lot of fun to colour and I made two to represent my friends beloved kitties.

I have so many cat stamps now I think it might be my new obsession lol.

Tonight I am celebrating with my girlie friends and I hope we all have a lovely time so I might be quiet tomorrow as I will probably have a hangover lol.
