FATHER CHRISTMAS HAS A TREE TOO!

 


Hello 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 "FATHER CHRISTMAS".

I have used a topper and backing paper from a freebie magazine kit to make my card today. I do love this Santa, love the tree more as it reminds me of the one we had when I was a child.

Looking forward to seeing your makes.

SHABBY ANGEL

 


Hello 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 "VINTAGE OR SHABBY CHIC".

I've made an attempt at shabby chic. The card I actually wanted to make fell by the wayside as I needed my printer. Obviously my printer ran out of ink, no problem, I had new cartridges, but then I very stupidly pulled the chip off the cartridge! What a waste! So this was a quick thinking card. I had a rummage through my ribbons and lace and found this pompom trim and the snowflake ribbon. I put this together with a couple of stamps, stamped in Versamark ink and embossed with white powder. Finished the card off with a wooden snowflake and twill bow. I hope it's shabby enough!

Looking forward to seeing your makes.

POPPIES AND BUTTERFLIES

 


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. Time to use up your stash!

I have used my favourite butterfly lady die to make my card, together with the last sheet of one of my favourite ever backing papers....slowly getting through my stash. I don't think I've bought anything new in the last two years which is very good going for me.

Looking forward to seeing your makes.

GO GREEN

 


Hello 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 "USE SOME GREEN".

I have gone with pale green for my card, using dies to cut corner shapes and adding a poinsettia spray through the middle.

Looking forward to seeing your makes.

GOLDEN SNOWFLAKES

 


Hello 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 "USE SOME GOLD".

I have had my stamps out for today's card. Using Versamark in, I stamped the sentiment across the centre of a piece of white card, then added stamped snowflakes. I then used gold embossing powder and my heat gun, love doing this. At the very least it keeps me warm! I layered the white card onto gold mirri card, then onto a background of gold and brown snowflake card.

Looking forward to seeing your makes. Stay safe in this stormy weather!

SNOWFLAKE BEAR

 


Hello bloggers! It's Sunday 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 "SOMETHING CUTE".

Finally managed to access Blogger after a few technical issues. I don't know what's been happening this week....we've had dodgy phone signal since Monday, that seems a little better today but we shall see. The true test is when I'm at work, which is only a mile away but the signal there has been non-existent!

I have used an old teddy bear stamp for my card today, coloured with Prisma pencils. The stamp has flowers on the gift but I've covered them with little snowflake punchies to make it Christmassy. I love my little scruffy bear!

Looking forward to seeing your makes (and for technology to work!).

CHRISTMAS GNOMES

I have used a cute little gnome stamp for my card today. Coloured them in with Copics (R39,37,35,32 and 30, W5,3 and 1) and layered them up on some snowflake backing paper, and a couple of stamped sentiments.

Looking forward to seeing your makes.
