Crafty Catz Challenge #305 ~ Sparkle and Shine

Can't believe how close it is getting to Christmas! Everyone talking about their decorations and wrapping the presents, my decorations are still in the attic! lol Anyway as it's Friday it's time for a brand new challenge over at Crafty Catz and it is our last one until the New Year.  For this weeks challenge our wonderful Naomi has chosen a theme of Sparkle & Shine.

I have used an old stamp which I heat embossed in antique gold after stamping on to Kraft which I mounted on red mirricard, then I dry embossed the background piece of Kraft with a reindeer folder from Design Objectives and again mounted onto red mirricard.  Added some red thread, red ricrac, red gems and finally a couple of little red bells.  

here's a picture of the card taken with the flash to try and show the shine a little better.

Merry & Bright

So here is the second card I made at the weekend this time using a new image which was part of my prize from Aurora Wings ~ Christmas Lights Sprite.  Coloured up with copics and I added glamour dust to all the fluffy bits and 3d glaze to the little lights.  Paper is Bearly Mine Designs and the frame is cut on the Cricut as are the Christmas Lights which I added 3d glaze to then added some wire and finished off the card with a stamped sentiment.

Rockin' Robin

I managed to squeeze in some much needed crafting over the weekend but didn't get chance to post the cards until now, so my first card uses a very old digi stamp from Charmed Cards And Crafts and is from the Dottie & George Bumper Christmas collection.  I chose Dottie dressed up as a Robin, gotta love her knobbly little knees, I've used Kraft & green cs, red mirricard and paper from Bearly Mine Designs teamed up with some ribbon I got last week in Lidls and a peeloff sentiment which I coloured red.  I must admit to having a soft spot for Dottie & George as they were the first digi stamps that I used when I started off my card making journey so it's always nice to bring them out once in a while.

Holly Sprite

So I have had an enjoyable time this afternoon, snuggled up in my craft room and creating.  I recently won a challenge and the prize was $10 to spend at Aurora Wings and I found myself 3 wonderful images, the first of which I have used on this card I am sharing this evening.  It is Holly Sprite and I went with traditional colours and also used some glamour dust and a little flower soft.  Paper is Bearly Mine Designs.  I have embossed the red cs then added some die cut holly leaves topped off with some gem berries, now to start on another card!

Crafty Catz Challenge #304 ~ Let It Snow

Over at Crafty Catz this week it's my turn to choose the theme and as we are now in chilly December with Christmas fast approaching (too fast for my liking!) I thought a simple challenge of Let It Snow would work in all our favours, as long as it don't snow for real where I live! lol.
