SURPRISE STAR

 

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 "INCLUDE A STAR". 

I had an idea in my head for my card this week, however, when I opened my big craft cupboard doors, a little star was just sat there looking at me. So new idea developed.  I used a few stamps from different sets, heat embossing them in gold, and adding the layered star. I love how this one turned out.

Looking forward to seeing your makes.

SILENT NIGHT

 

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 "INSPIRED BY A CHRISTMAS SONG OR A CAROL".

I have used a piece of backing paper from a freebie magazine kit which I found whilst looking for something else. I traditionally use a specific paper set for this theme as that was what I used for one of the first cards I made for Hazel's challenge, many moons ago, and I won! Anyway, breaking with tradition this time, as I love this paper. I used a couple of dies and some snowflake ribbon (had a good rummage in my ribbon box....so much lovliness, I need to use them more often!), and finished of with "Silent Night" sentiment die cut.

Looking forward to seeing you makes.

SNOWY DAYS

 

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 "NO PATTERNED PAPER".

I have used a  little snowy scene stamp, stamping onto backing aper with Versamark ink, and heat embossing with white powder, doing the same with the sentiment stamp. This was then matted and layered on to a white base card. Love the simplicity of this one.

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.
