STARRY BEAR

 


Good morning bloggers! It's Saturday so it's time for a new challenge at Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge . As always, it's an "ANYTHING GOES" challenge as long as it's Christmas related, with the optional theme this week of "Include a bear".

The winner is picked randomly each week and Hazel is willing to post the prize anywhere in the world! This week's prize is this:

Well, work has definitely got in the way of play this week. Completely forgot to make my card but luckily, I already had in mind what I wanted to make. Super quick bit of die-cutting this morning!
(Thank you Hazel for being very understanding!)

Looking forward to seeing your makes.

CHRISTMAS CANDY CANES

 


Good morning bloggers! It's Saturday so it's time for a new challenge at Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge . As always, it's an "ANYTHING GOES" challenge as long as it's Christmas related, with the optional theme this week of "candy canes".

The winner is picked randomly each week and Hazel is willing to post the prize anywhere in the world! This week's prize is this: 
Acrylic Sentiment Stamps

I have used a candy cane die to make my card, it was a labour of love sticking this together. Then once I was done, I got annoyed with myself for not using the opposite bits to make two! Oh well! We live and learn.
Hope you are all well. Don't forget to phone a friend or two. There're a lot of anxious people out there right now. You might just make someone's day!

DING DONG CHRISTMAS BELLS

 


Good morning bloggers! It's Saturday so it's time for a new challenge at Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge . As always, it's an "ANYTHING GOES" challenge as long as it's Christmas related, with the optional theme this week of "Include a bell or bells".

The winner is picked randomly each week and Hazel is willing to post the prize anywhere in the world! This week's prize is this: 



I have made a simple (but fiddly!) card using a couple of dies, adding flat-backed pearls for my holly berries. 
I've had a very busy week, lots of viewings at my Dad's house so hopefully that will sell quickly. I've also started a huge crafty destash. I gave a boxful of stuff away this week, mainly stamps that I never use, but the recipient was so thankful.

Looking forward to seeing your makes.

SWEET PEA BIRTHDAY

 


Good morning!
It's a new month so it's new challenge time at Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge . As always, it's an "ANYTHING GOES" challenge but you must use some patterned paper or card. Hazel offers a prize each month and is willing to post anywhere in the world so anyone can enter, and you can enter as many times as you like! This month's prize is this:


Mix & Match
Pretty Pastel Paper Pack
6" x 6" 30 sheets

I had complete card-making block this month, but eventually came up with this simple, elegant card. I used two circle dies to cut a ring of patterned paper then used a big butterfly die, cutting from the same paper. I love how this turned out.
Looking forward to seeing your makes.
