MERRY CHRISTMAS STRIPES

Hope you are all well. 
It's time for a new challenge at Crafty Hazelnuts Christmas Challenge Blog. Each weekly challenge is "Anything Goes as long as it's CHRISTMAS" with an OPTIONAL theme, which this week is

"Use a sentiment".

Winners are chosen at random.

I've been at my huge stash of Christmas papers and managed to cut some up (they looked so pretty, AND they were double sided!). I've glued five strips onto white card, wrapped it all with twine and stuck it onto a red base card. I've used peel offs for my sentiment and added peel-off snowflakes. 

Looking forward to seeing your makes.

I have been at my dies again! I've used stitched edged dies and these cute reindeer to make my card. I've used pearlescent card so although simple, it looks so lovely in natural light. 

Looking forward to seeing your makes.

UPCYCLED SNOWY SCENE

"Upcycle or use something old".

I have chosen my favourite card given to us at work by a customer to make my card. I've used a patchwork die to cut a section from the original card and mounted this onto red card. And also cut out the little robin from the same card! Love that little guy!

Looking forward to seeing your makes.

HAPPY NEW YEAR & NEW DT FOR ME

Happy New Year Everyone! Wishing you good health and peace in 2019.
I am delighted to announce I am now part of the design team for Crafty Hazelnuts Patterned Paper Challenge. I have been a member of Hazel's Christmas card DT for a while now, which is so much fun and I will be continuing with that.
Here are the details for the Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge:

Quite simply, you can enter with any creation as long as you use PATTERNED PAPER! Easy peasy. We aim to encourage you to use up your stash of patterned papers We are all guilty of having too many. Haha!
Hazel offers a prize to a randomly chosen winner, and she is willing to post anywhere in the world.

For my card, I have used paper from my huge stash together with a beautiful diecut butterfly lady, adding gems to the flying butterflies.
Looking forward to seeing your makes.
Hugs

CHRISTMAS FOREST SCENE

Hope you are all well.

"Use the word "Christmas"".

I have used a deer scene die layered up on a background I coloured with Copics. The sentiment is computer generated (with names) and die cut. Added some flat-backed pearls which I also coloured with Copics to match.
